Rivian R2 vs Tesla Model Y 70-MPH Highway Range Test! How Is This Even Possible?
Hyundai Ioniq 9.
Hyundai's flagship electric SUV with three rows, 350+ mile range, and lounge-style seating.

The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The Ioniq 9 is the electric family SUV that finally makes the minivan obsolete. The second-row swivel seats are a revelation for road trips with kids — they can face each other, recline flat for naps, or face forward for normal driving. The 350+ mile range and 25-minute fast charging on the 800V platform mean this is a genuine road trip vehicle, and the $55,725 starting price is aggressive for this much space and tech. If you need three rows and zero emissions, this is the one to beat.”

800V Ultra-Fast Charging
350 kW peak charging delivers 10-80% in under 25 minutes on the 110.3 kWh battery — the fastest-charging 3-row SUV available.
Swivel Lounge Seats
Second-row seats rotate 180° and recline nearly flat, creating configurable seating for rest stops, work sessions, or family hangouts.
Advanced Driver Assistance
Highway Driving Assist 2, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and 360-degree camera with blind-spot monitor display.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Interior space and swivel seats are universally loved. Third-row legroom is adequate but not class-leading for taller adults.

Global Critique
“The swivel seats are a game-changer for families. Hyundai turned a rest stop into a living room.”
“More range, more tech, and a lower price than the EV9. Hyundai may have cannibalized its own sibling.”
“The 800V platform delivers the same lightning-fast charging we love in the Ioniq 5 and 6, now in a family-size package.”
