This all-electric, three-row SUV offers spacious comfort, long-range performance, and advanced technology. It’s a perfect choice for families and adventure-seekers in Little Rock and Central Arkansas who want an eco-friendly vehicle with plenty of space and power.
For drivers looking for luxury, efficiency, and cutting-edge design, the Ioniq 9 sets a new standard for electric SUVs. Let’s explore what makes it stand out.
Striking Design with a Modern Touch
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is built on Hyundai’s Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which provides greater efficiency, longer battery range, and a spacious cabin. This platform allows for a flat floor design, creating more legroom and cargo space.
From the outside, the Ioniq 9 features a sleek, grille-less front for a futuristic, high-end look. Hyundai’s signature pixel headlights add a modern touch, and the aerodynamic body helps improve efficiency. This SUV stands out on the roads of Little Rock, offering both style and performance.
Spacious and Comfortable Interior
One of the biggest highlights of the Ioniq 9 is its three-row seating, making it a great option for families or those who need extra passenger space. It seats six or seven passengers, depending on the configuration, and offers plenty of legroom and headroom.
Inside, Hyundai designed the Ioniq 9’s cabin for luxury and convenience with:
- Adjustable seating options that allow for more flexibility.
