Ioniq 9 Price: MSRP, Trims & Real-World Cost

The Ioniq 9 is Hyundai's three-row electric SUV. It has a long list of trims, and the spread between the least and most expensive is wide. Pricing for a 2027 Ioniq 9 has not been published for the US market, so the 2026 model is the current reference.

All six trims below include destination, per MotorTrend:

• S RWD at $60,605.
• SE AWD at $64,415.
• SEL AWD at $67,970.
• Performance Limited AWD at $72,900.
• Performance Calligraphy AWD at $76,640.
• Performance Calligraphy Design AWD at $79,140.

The entry S is the only rear-wheel-drive trim listed. Every other trim comes with all-wheel drive.

Going from the S to the SE costs the difference between $60,605 and $64,415, which includes the move to all-wheel drive. The SEL adds more equipment at $67,970.

The top three trims are the Performance trims. The Limited sits at $72,900, the Calligraphy at $76,640, and the Calligraphy Design at $79,140. The two Calligraphy trims are the most expensive and are separated by a smaller gap than most of the earlier steps.

Hyundai's trim names do not say what each one includes, so read the feature list for any trim before choosing it on price alone.

A 2027 US price for the Ioniq 9 has not been published. If you are deciding whether to buy now or wait, remember that new-model-year pricing can differ from the previous year. Check Hyundai's website or a dealer for the latest.

Buying an EV involves a few costs that gas vehicles do not.

• Home charging. Installing a charger depends on your electrical setup, so get a quote from a licensed electrician.
• Public charging. Prices vary by network, location and time of day.
• Incentives. Federal and state incentives for EVs change often and have eligibility rules. Confirm current details with the IRS and your state, and consult a tax professional.
• Insurance. Premiums depend on the trim and where you live.

As with any new car, the sticker is not the final amount. Add sales tax, title and registration, documentation fees, and any accessories you choose. If a dealer adds a market adjustment, ask them to explain it, and get quotes from others. Request an out-the-door price in writing.

A family that wants three rows and the lowest cost of entry might start with the S or SE. If you want the better equipment, compare the SEL and Limited. The Calligraphy trims make sense when you want the most complete package and are comfortable with the price. Test drive more than one trim if you can, because the differences are not obvious from a listing.

Price is only one factor when shopping for a family electric SUV. Compare seating layout, cargo space with the third row up and down, and how easy it is to climb into the back. Sit in each row at a dealership. Bring the people who will ride in the back, including kids in car seats.

Check charging as well. Ask what charging connector the vehicle uses, which public networks you can use, and how that fits with your regular routes. Confirm the warranty terms for the battery with Hyundai before you buy.

Other three-row electric SUVs sit in a similar price band. Compare delivered prices on the same basis, with destination included, and look at the equipment each trim includes. A cheaper rival may leave out features that are standard on the Ioniq 9, and the reverse is also true.
