| S | $58,955 | RWD, 215 hp | 335 miles |

How far can the IONIQ 9 go on a charge?
Up to 335 miles EPA-estimated on the S, 320 miles on the SE and SEL, and 311 miles on Limited and Calligraphy trims. For Highland drivers, that covers a week of commuting to Hammond, Munster or downtown Chicago on one charge for most people.
Like every EV, expect less range in a Lake County January. Preconditioning the cabin while plugged in at home helps preserve range on cold mornings.

|---|---|---|
| 350 kW DC ultra-fast (CCS adapter included) | 10% to 80% | About 24 minutes |

Hyundai calls it the most spacious IONIQ yet. A flat floor, available second-row captain’s chairs or a bench for six or seven seats, an available sliding Universal Island console and available power-reclining third-row seats make it feel like a lounge on wheels.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) outlets inside and outside let you power a laptop, electric grill or tools at a Wolf Lake tailgate or a Little League game in Griffith.
