Hyundai Motor PH shows off flagship Ioniq 9 electric SUV, priced at Php 4.580M

And if the launch of its hybrid Hyundai Palisade wasn’t enough, the brand also showed off the all-electric Ioniq 9 full size electric SUV.

This full-size SUV features a minimalist, streamlined design made with aerodynamic efficiency in mind. It features the cube projection headlights, digital side mirrors, and the Parametric Pixel design language all the way to the back. It also rides on 21-inch turbine-style alloy wheels.

It’s available in these colors: Abyss Black Pearl, Serenity White Pearl, Celadon Gray Matte, Celadon Gray Metallic, Biophilic Blue Pearl, Gravity Gold Matte, Sunset Brown Pearl, Nocturne Gray Matte, Nocturne Gray Metallic, and Ionosphere Green Pearl.

The interior follows the same design language as the rest of the Hyundai products with a panoramic curved infotainment display with dual 12-inch screens, a 14-speaker Bose sound system, and a movable center console.

Interior colors include Obsidian Black, Dark Teal, Dove Gray, and Dark Wine.

It’s capable of seating up to six people with the relaxation comfort seats for the first two rows, featuring functionality like massaging, leg rests, heating and ventilation, plus a power-operated third row capable of seating two adults. Cargo space can be expanded up to 1,323L with all the seats folded down.

The local Ioniq 9 has dual electric motors, capable of a power output of 308 horsepower and 605 Nm of torque, a large 110.3kWh battery capable of going up to 620km on a single charge, and fast charging should only take 24 minutes. It comes with self-leveling rear shock absorbers for additional comfort and to keep the ride even when the car is full. It also features the Hyundai SmartSense ADAS suite and Vehicle-to-Load capability (V2L).

Being offered only in one variant, the Calligraphy AWD Long Range, priced at Php 4,580,000, what makes this stand out is the fact that every car is made-to-order, with up to 39 possible combinations for the interior and exterior.
