Surprise Surprise

Its large, its comfortable, its loaded with tech, its pretty quick, and it isn't a minivan. Everyone asks what it is....I enjoy that. Overall, Hyundai's first electric 7 seater knocks it out of the park. My only disappointment was that the design wheels arent the standard wheel on the performance calligraphy.

So Modern, So Beautiful!!

It perfectly balances bold, masculine strength with refined, feminine elegance, creating a design that is both powerful and exquisitely detailed.

The perfect road tripper

I've been driving for 50 years and I can say without hesitation that my 2026 IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Performance is the best car I've ever owned. This is my second EV, the first being a 2022 Kia EV6 GT Line AWD. While I thoroughly enjoyed my 3.5 years with the EV6, I wanted more interior room and more range between charging. I looked at a lot of larger EVs, but none worked for me for a variety of reasons -- price, charging speed, general look and feel. When I saw that the IONIQ 9 was out, I immediately went to a local dealer, test drove it, and took it home. The car is powerful, serene in the extreme (so quiet!), incredibly spacious, and has more range than my body does. I've taken it on four long road trips in the two months I've owned it, including a round trip from the Cincinnati area to Orlando. It performed perfectly.

Does the job

Love the room for six and the air conditioner is the best. The charging is easy and the SUV goes a long way. The recalls are frustrating and I hope this does not continue.

Better reliability and smart features

Surprisingly doesn’t have auto turn off and auto lock on walk away; and where you can save your home location so you don’t get notified of doors unlocked there, in the gps don’t have Tesla superchargers as part of the charging stations available, interface could be so much easier and smarter to navigate, auto adjust seats based on the driver profile and storing that

Awesome Vehicle, but flaws should have been fixed before release

This is one great vehicle, range is great, NACS make it easier to travel, everything about it makes a great family vehicle, you will find lots of great reviews and reasons why to buy, but it has its flaws, some might be bigger than others and some have no reason to be, since this is basically an upgraded EV9 that has been on the market for several years (I owned one) The rear view mirror is useless during rain, the camera will go blank randomly, this never happened on my EV9, but the placment of the camera mid gate, first make it easy for water to full the camera sensor and the view makes zero sense, no one looks at their rear view to see car grills. This patform still have the same vibration at 70MPH as the EV9 does. No 7 seater on upper trims, I guess people that like to have more kids or carry friends do not deserve upscale trims... the Auto regen, useless, it slows randomly and do not acccounts for you braking, it literaly will hard slow the vehicle even tho you are already braking. Accessories, for the US, basically none, the rst of the world have them, but not available in the USA, specially no option to have towing already in stock. So, is a great vehicle, if you can live with the issues.

Missed opportunities

I traded a Kia Carnival Prestige for the Ioniq 9 Caligraphy and was a little surprised that it was more of a lateral move except for going all electric. The Kia had window shades on all rear side windows but the Ioniq 9 only has them for the second row, the front passenger seat should have had the massage feature also and it’s been difficult getting accessories.

Initial build quality has been terrible

The initial quality of the vehicle has been the worse of the past 3 Hyundai vehicles I have owned and of 10 my family has purchased. With a defect drivers windshield wiper arm that makes the vehicle inoperable in the rain, the dealership can’t give me an ETA on when the part will be available. The paint has debris on the ceiling and around the rear taillights with rusting spots on the tailgate in a car that’s 2 months old and only 2500 miles on it. The dealer refuses to do anything to correct the issues and customer support has yet to respond to my complaints.

Smooth ride, but I wish the Limited had additional features.

I traded in a Limited Palisade and lost some of the functions I had (i.e., heads up display) in the Limited Ionic 9. Feel it should've been included.

Amazing, but too many quality issues and horrible support from Hyundai

Amazing car. Love the range, comfort, NACS access, autonomous driving features, mix of options at this Trim (SEL). Unfortunately the car has had 4 different quality issues so far (control panel on seat popped out, paint peeling off front bumper, felt peeling off seatbelt buckle, trim lifting off rear passenger window). Hyundai and my local dealer denied addressing these issues, saying that the dealership I purchased at was responsible for addressing. This dealership is 50+ miles away from me... Why doesn't Hyundai own it's own quality?? It was a perpetual argument with the dealership to get the issues addressed as well with some sort of compensation for the mileage (I'm on a lease...every mile counts).
