5 Ways the 2026 IONIQ 9 Transforms Your Daily Drive
January 26 2025,
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 brings practical solutions to New Brunswick families seeking a versatile electric SUV. This three-row vehicle delivers thoughtful features that enhance your daily routine, from morning commutes in Woodstock to weekend trips along the Saint John River Valley. The IONIQ 9's combination of space and capability creates a perfect match for Maritime driving needs.
Smart Storage Solutions for Every Season
Your cargo requirements shift between winter gear and summer equipment. The IONIQ 9 accommodates these changes with 1,323 litres of rear storage when the third row folds flat. The front trunk provides 88 litres in rear-wheel drive models and 52 litres in all-wheel drive versions. The sliding center console moves 190 mm, offering convenient access from both front and rear seats. Multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin organize your daily essentials.
All-Weather Performance for Maritime Roads
New Brunswick's four-season climate demands reliable performance. Three powertrain options ensure you'll find the right configuration for your needs. The Long-Range all-wheel drive version masters winter driving conditions, while the Performance model provides quick acceleration for safe passing on Trans-Canada Highway 2. The rear-wheel drive option maximizes range at 539 kilometers, perfect for trips to Saint John or Fredericton.
Comfort Features for Maritime Travel
Long drives feel shorter with the IONIQ 9's relaxation seats. First and second-row seats recline fully with leg rests, creating comfortable rest stops during charging. The dynamic body care system maintains circulation through targeted pressure points, enhancing comfort on drives to Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia. When parked, second-row swivel seats create a social space for family time.
Fast Charging for Busy Schedules
The 110.3 kWh battery system minimizes charging stops. Using a 350 kW DC fast charger, the battery reaches 80 percent charge in 24 minutes. The EV route planner helps locate charging stations across the Maritimes, while the steering wheel indicator clearly displays remaining range. High-output USB-C ports in all rows keep devices powered through direct connection to the main battery.
Year-Round Climate Control
Maritime weather changes quickly. The dual-zone climate system maintains ideal temperatures throughout the cabin while reducing energy consumption. The slim roof vents work with the panoramic sunroof to enhance airflow distribution. Sound-absorbing tires and structural improvements create a quiet environment for conversation or enjoying the available 14-speaker audio system.
