Hyundai’s inaugural three-row electric SUV has finally arrived, exceeding expectations in every way.
“The IONIQ 5 arrives with a class-leading interior, boasting an impressive range of up to 335 miles, and even more.” Hyundai showcases the impressive vastness of the IONIQ 5’s interior space.
What sets Hyundai’s 3-row IONIQ apart? It just so happens that this midsize SUV boasts an impressive amount of interior room. In fact, it offers more passenger space than many competitors in its class!
Just nine months into production, Hyundai’s innovative IONIQ 5 models have already started rolling off the assembly lines at its cutting-edge facility in Georgia.
As its first three-row electric SUV prepares to hit dealership floors imminently, Hyundai wants you to appreciate that the IONIQ 5 offers ample room for nearly anyone.
“The IONIQ 5 is more than just a car; it’s a space where life unfolds,” said Sean Gilpin, Hyundai Motor America’s marketing chief.
Hyundai unveiled its latest advertising initiative, “House to Join”, highlighting the spacious interior of its SUV.
The IONIQ 5’s spacious interior offers a generous 2,462 litres (87 cubic feet) of cargo capacity when the second and third-row seats are folded out of the way. The all-new 2025 Ford Explorer boasts a cavernous interior with ample cargo space, measuring out at an impressive 2,429 liters (or 85.8 cubic feet), surpassing its predecessor in terms of practicality and versatility. Despite having all seats in an upright position, the Ioniq 9 still boasts a generous 620 litres of cargo space.
While the IONIQ 9’s exterior may not be overwhelming in terms of space, its interior is instead packed with Hyundai’s cutting-edge software and connectivity features.
As a key component of a curvaceous panoramic display, the infotainment system features two 12-inch high-definition drivers and integrated screens that showcase a seamless blend of entertainment and information.
This month, Hyundai announced the starting price for its upcoming 2026 IONIQ 9, which will be a substantial $58,995. The base Rear-Wheel Drive S model, featuring up to 335 miles of driving range, commences at $60,555, with an additional vacation spot charge of $1,600.
For $64,365 – including a vacation package – you can upgrade to the all-wheel-drive SE model featuring 303 horsepower and an impressive range of 320 miles. While boasting the luxury of IONIQ’s top-tier trim, the IONIQ 9 AWD Efficiency Calligraphy Design model features a sleek Matte finish, 21-inch wheels, and an impressive 311-mile driving range, starting at a competitive $78,090.
