This all-electric, three-row SUV is built for spacious comfort, long-range performance, and cutting-edge technology. It’s perfect for families and everyday drivers in Fort Smith and throughout Western Arkansas.

For drivers who want a stylish, eco-friendly SUV without sacrificing space or power, the Ioniq 9 is a game-changer. Let’s explore what makes this electric SUV stand out.

A Bold and Modern Design

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is built on Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which provides efficient power use, extended range, and a spacious cabin. This platform allows for a flat floor design, increasing passenger comfort and cargo space.

From the outside, the Ioniq 9 features a sleek, grille-less front, giving it a futuristic, high-end look. Hyundai’s signature pixel headlights and aerodynamic body improve efficiency, allowing drivers to maximize their battery range. Whether navigating Fort Smith’s city streets or taking a weekend getaway through the Ozarks, this SUV is designed to turn heads.

Spacious and Comfortable Interior

One of the biggest highlights of the Ioniq 9 is its three-row seating. With room for six or seven passengers, this SUV provides the space families and travelers need.

Inside the cabin, Hyundai has focused on luxury, comfort, and flexibility with:

• Adjustable seating options that make the interior more versatile.
• Second-row swivel seats for a more interactive passenger experience.
• Premium materials and finishes that give the cabin a luxury feel.

From daily commutes to road trips across Arkansas, the Ioniq 9’s spacious and high-tech interior delivers a top-tier driving experience.

Powerful Performance and Extended Range

The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is expected to offer one of the longest driving ranges of any electric SUV. It comes with a 110.3 kWh NCM lithium-ion battery, with the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) model projected to reach up to 385 miles on a full charge.

For added convenience, Hyundai’s 400V and 800V charging system supports ultra-fast charging. Using a 350 kW charger, the Ioniq 9 can charge from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes—perfect for quick stops on long road trips.

The Ioniq 9 will also include multiple drive modes, allowing drivers to adjust performance based on their needs. Whether driving through Fort Smith’s historic downtown, taking a scenic drive through the Arkansas River Valley, or heading out on I-540, this SUV delivers a smooth and efficient ride.

Advanced Technology and Safety

The Ioniq 9 is packed with Hyundai SmartSense safety features, ensuring drivers and passengers stay protected on every trip. Standard and available safety features include:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist

Beyond safety, the Ioniq 9 offers next-level technology for entertainment and convenience, including:
