While confirmed details of the Hyundai Ioniq 9 India launch are yet to be made available, we expect it to arrive here in late 2025 or early 2026.

It is expected to offer a premium interior, advanced ADAS features, and ultra-fast charging. Competing with high-end electric SUVs, the Ioniq 9 will likely help its carmaker establish itself in the electric luxury car market.
