May 29 2025,
Hyundai Canada has set the 2026 IONIQ 9's starting price at $59,999 MSRP for the Essential RWD trim, bringing three-row electric capability within reach of families currently driving traditional SUVs. This pricing positions the fully electric seven-seater as a direct alternative to gasoline-powered competitors while delivering over 500 kilometres of range.
The five-trim lineup spans to $81,499 for the Ultimate Calligraphy Package, giving you multiple entry points into premium electric driving. Each configuration maintains the same fundamental advantages: native Tesla Supercharger access, 24-minute fast charging, and 2,268-kilogram towing capacity that handles your recreational equipment and family adventures.
Complete Trim Range Covers Every Family Budget
Your entry point begins with the Essential RWD at $59,999, delivering 215 horsepower through a rear-mounted electric motor and achieving 539 kilometres of range. This base trim includes the same 110.3 kWh battery and 800-volt charging architecture found throughout the lineup, ensuring you receive core capabilities regardless of your chosen configuration.
The $64,999 Preferred AWD variants offer dual-motor traction with two distinct power levels. The standard Preferred AWD produces 303 horsepower while maintaining 515 kilometres of range, while the Preferred AWD+ increases output to 422 horsepower with 500 kilometres of range. Both configurations add intelligent all-wheel management and enhanced stability for challenging weather conditions.
Premium buyers can select the Preferred AWD with Luxury Package at $76,499 or the flagship Preferred AWD+ with Ultimate Calligraphy Package at $81,499. These upper trims feature exclusive design elements and advanced interior appointments while preserving the electric drivetrain's core benefits. All prices exclude the $2,050 delivery fee.
Native Tesla Access Expands Your Charging Network
Your IONIQ 9 arrives with a built-in NACS port, providing direct access to Tesla Supercharger stations without adapters or special accounts. This native compatibility doubles your fast-charging options across Canada, particularly valuable during long-distance travel where Supercharger reliability often surpasses other networks.
The 800-volt electrical system supports charging speeds up to 350 kW, enabling 10 to 80 per cent battery replenishment in approximately 24 minutes. The included CCS adapter maintains compatibility with existing public charging infrastructure, giving you access to both Tesla and traditional networks through a single vehicle.
This dual charging capability eliminates the network limitations that often concern families considering electric vehicles. Your route planning becomes straightforward with access to Canada's most extensive fast-charging infrastructure.
Real-World Range and Towing Handle Active Lifestyles
Natural Resources Canada estimates confirm each IONIQ 9 configuration exceeds 500 kilometres of range, with the rear-wheel-drive Essential reaching 539 kilometres per charge. These government-verified figures reflect mixed driving conditions, providing reliable planning data for daily commutes and weekend trips.
The 2,268-kilogram towing rating accommodates boat trailers, camping equipment, and recreational vehicles that define Canadian family activities. Intelligent trailer mode automatically adjusts range calculations based on your load and maintains optimal 50:50 torque distribution on AWD models for stable towing performance.
Interior space benefits from the 3,130-millimetre wheelbase—the longest in Hyundai's current lineup. This generous footprint creates three-row seating and cargo capacity that rivals traditional large SUVs while delivering the quiet operation and instant torque response inherent to electric powertrains.
