I think that it's the best family car I've seen in a long while. With 5 young adult kids and 3 in the family over 6", I might not have a typical family but this really fits the bill. The ultimate in taxi services.
hardly ultimate, like how would you drive 5 adult kids to all their varied hobbies and interests, rugby, soccer, boxing, uni, tests, nights out etc Then what about their friends like "I'll pick paul up on the way to training, Ill collect you after, I might be later, Im dropping your bother and his friend to karate". It might be acceptable for some, good for others, and great for others, but ultimate taxi car for a taxi parent?
@@Stewiedude1 @ I actually forgot about that car, yeah I agree that’s a properly good looking car to be fair, I was more on about the ETron SUVS I think they look a bit bland, where as this looks interesting
That's more a matter of taste, but Audi/VW had to grab Rivian as the current Audi/VW dashboards and media user interfaces were beyond help. Hyundai simply stuck to utility instead of gadgets so it never had problems in that respect, and the fact that they're slightly opening the doors to customisation (still have some mandatory things to show) is something I have been waiting for for a long time. Good move.
I’m glad Hyundai is happy to produce cars that don't follow the mainstream boring vanilla cars that so many manufacturers seem to be doing these days. Not sure anybody actually needs a car this size but overall I think it works.
For me Hyundai is already car brand of the year, they just keep coming out with awesome models like Ioniq 5N, this new 9❤❤❤❤. Would love to see EV version of their Staria minivan. Rory great first look, can't wait for you to do first drive
Drag coefficient less than a prius doesnt mean it has less drag than a prius. Its a measurement of the drag based on its size, as its physically bigger it will still have much higher drag than an original Prius. Companies use it a little misleadingly
Every "fact" and figure about EVs is misleading. I've never known a product in my lifetime where the manufacturers, shills, et al, surround it with so many lies to try and sell them.
@@nsweeney3970 not every fact and figure, what have they been misleading with? Drag coefficient being low isn't wrong but for people that don't understand they think it's more aerodynamic than a Prius when it's not.
@@tavi7 when you don't need any air intakes and have 25+ years of development it's not that hard. Funny they go on about low drag then put massive wheels on that have huge rolling resistance
@@SDK2006b I think the difference is that traditionally in Europe they were fairly few and far between. It's a little like an arms race, not having one makes you feel like you need one.

In the driving instance I thought being paranoid until I started driving vans for work. Other drivers behaviour completely changes between the van and my small hatchback
You are correct Rory, Americans dont care about pedestrian safety. We drive increasingly larger SUVs and Pickup trucks with steel bash bars and Massive front ends that are nearly 5 feet tall. Heaven help any kids or short women as they disappear under the hood
That’s because in that way the US are sensible and make jay walking illegal and pedestrian shouldn’t be in the road unless at a specific crossing unlike in Europe where out of nowhere you will find a plonker in the road!
I have watched all MPVs from the Chinese market and I must say, Hyundai got all the best features from these cars and brought them to the Western market… And I strongly believe that this will be a great business idea since innovative ideas have shifted in this era…
Perfect timing, my Wrangler 4xe lease ends next year, I'll be getting this car for family trips. I was considering an R1S but after watching a video where most body shops were asking for 40k+ to fix the rear quarter panel turned me off instantly.
Someone is gonna have to explain the light bar issue as this morning driving to work I saw a Kia, Vauxhall, VW and Mercedes all with light bars running across the bonnet
A phenomenal car really, probably the one to beat of this sort of segment. I’ll never be able to buy one, but this is worth getting. Won’t be parking it in Tesco’s but if you were to drive 500 miles to a supermarche somewhere in France say (!) this would be absolutely lovely. Good review, even if sans road test. For now.
I really don’t know anyone who buys cars this size and at this price. Those who can, usually buy a Range Rover. Everyone else buys second hand cars that they run as cheaply as possible. There is an extremely affluent town nearby and it’s either Macans, Cayennes or Range Rovers in the car park. Or a 20 year old Golf.
Did you mention how much this thing weighed? 2.3-2.7 Tonnes depending on spec. So, 0.1-0.5 Tonnes heavier than the Ioniq 5N. Maybe that's not a bad result given how much bigger it looks... I also don't think you quoted a range for the 'Performance' model. I doubt that 350+ miles mentioned will apply
It's a lot larger and more spacious, with a 40% larger battery, so the weight kinda scales up decently. They did quote a range of more than 300 miles regardless of powertrains, but as with all claims, I'd be wary still
You are confusing drag coefficient with drag force. Drag coefficient is not dependent on vehicle size, it’s a function of how aerodynamically efficient the shape of the body is. Drag force is a function of drag coefficient, frontal area, density of fluid (air) and velocity, so is dependent on vehicle size.
Looks nice! Very spacious and the big brands should be worried as the package is the right. For the showcase, they should have given a better quality car though. The driver side window sill seems to be already misaligned, the rear passenger door lines do not line up with the rest of the car (looks like the door is hanging a bit down).
Wut is dat, seen a vulva tho 😂 jk bro yep u right haha it does look like volvo from the rear which is odd - not sure why designers would approve that - but thats the only complaint i have on it - also some of new bmws look like skoda and citroen i mean whyyy!! Odd choices
It's a beautiful full-size luxury 7-seater, though I prefer the more buff sister, the Kia EV9's look. The EV9 also looks a bit more harmonic. This Ioniq 9 looks like two different car designs glued together in the middle.
We've an EV9. A fantastic car, but the width makes it a complete pain in the arse for our multi storeys, that were built for the cortina and Renault 11s.
Does it have a frunk? Seems like Hyundai are bringing back old looking cars. We've got the ioniq 5 thats a spitting image of an old austin maestro, now this has a Volvo estate look about it too 😉 I like it tho 👍
One of the most uncomfortable car journeys I have ever done was in a Hyundai Pony, they have come a long way since that hateful Marina clone. This is seriously impressive.
Looks like the designers run out of ideas when they got towards the rear passenger doors and the rear. EV9 definitely better looking. Waiting for ev9 GT model to be launched in uk.

Ironically looks better then every Audi and bmw electric car imo.
No it doesn’t! 🤡
Audi E tron GT is by far the best looking EV from these 3 brands.
This is decent though, prefer the Kia EV9 myself

He meant the size as an SUV vs a sedan. This car is way more boxy than the Prius so it’s harder to get a low drag coefficient
@@tavi7 when you don't need any air intakes and have 25+ years of development it's not that hard. Funny they go on about low drag then put massive wheels on that have huge rolling resistance
Sure its not traditionally beautiful, but I like it.
Just like you😅! Just kidding, I like it too
my only question is When is the Hyundai Ioniq9 coming to a store near me?
Reminds me of a Range Rover at the front and the Volvo v70 estate at the back. The interior looks fantastic
I think the back more looks like an Escalade
In love with the 80-90's Volvo wagon's squared end design
Definition of love/hate relationship. Someone explained it with better words, "not traditionally beautiful" but still looks good.
We’ll all need HGV licences soon to drive these monstrosities.
Hahaha!
Look up the weight of a Range Rover, Discovery or Defender - these weigh MORE than this, for over 20 years !
I love it, looks great and carry kids/passengers in comfort

The germans are in trouble. I really like the interior. Hit us with an MPV Hyundai! Sliding doors are cool
They already have one actually! Hyundai Staria look it up

Yeah, get off the road 🎵 USA USA 🎵🇺🇸 😅
You’re making up an issue that doesn’t exist because your’e jealous I guess?
The movable center console is a lifesaver when the person next to you parks terribly

I should hate it, but somehow I like the looks
Honestly I really like it, the only bit I'm not keen on is the arches
"americans dont care about pedestrians" i mean we all knew that Rory
do they have pedestrians?
@@rushjaTouché
More like cyclists
Well done Hyundai, definitely best car brand of the year.
The interior looks fantastic
Someone is gonna have to explain the light bar issue as this morning driving to work I saw a Kia, Vauxhall, VW and Mercedes all with light bars running across the bonnet
In my opinion it’s better than the EV9,cheers Rory👍
This is an EV that Americans would love.
Great presenter. Stands out.
I am thinking what would this cost to buy and insure and are repairs feasable or affordable?
It comes with a 5 year warranty. And yes, it can be repaired if it goes wrong....
Back and side look like the Lovechild of an old Volvo and Dacia Logan
Look up the Dacia Jogger 😂
The issue is not that Americans don’t care about pedestrians. The issue is that Americans don’t walk at all… LOL
Dogging enthusiasts will love those back seats!
As a dogging enthusiast, I can confirm I do love the back seats.
I'm much rather have the EV9. Less range, but woah boy, does it look better inside and out!
What was that moving on the rear near the end? Something rotated on or below bumper.
Ooo. I like this more than the EV9

2:45 side profile looks like it could be a new Volvo XC70 (we never got many wagons in the US so my comparison might be limited) 😅
This is quite a bold design, i love it 👌
The rear end reminds me of the Honda HRV from the 2000's, looks good though
Fine with the front and back, but what have they done with the wheel arches?!
Steering wheel looks like somebody ordered it for his rangerover from wish 🤣
hows the suspension ?
A future Uber favourite
I like it, but how the hell do people park this kinds of things in UK spaces? It looks enormous!

It's an electric minivan without the sliding doors.
This looks somewhere between the Pathfinder and Patrol in size?
Love it. Have an AWD Ioniq 6 first Edition at the moment but the 9 will be on my shopping list next time.
2:24 in America the pedestrians are...not that light 😉😄
Rory’s beautifully understated Submariner goes well with the interior colors!
doesn't mercedes eqs have light bar?

The driver side window sill seems to be already misaligned, the rear passenger door lines do not line up with the rest of the car (looks like the door is hanging a bit down).
In regards to the light bar and pedestrians is that in the dark, we will always associate two lights with cars.
Like it a lot. Looking forward to seeing it on the roads here in the US early next year!
Pls compare it to the denza n9 it should also debut in the UK next year or at the end of this year
Rory, how could you forget to mention the HVAC physical buttons!
Rory, the rear lights look just like a Cadillac Escalade's though obviously we don't see too many of those here in the UK.
Looks really smart, loads of kits…impressed. Be interested to know how it drives and what its true range is?
There needs to be a direct comparison test with the Kia EV9
Love the fenders and how massive it looks ! Also 5 sec to 60 is decent! Looks fun ! Also a 7 seater wow
ever seen a volvo?
Wut is dat, seen a vulva tho 😂 jk bro yep u right haha it does look like volvo from the rear which is odd - not sure why designers would approve that - but thats the only complaint i have on it - also some of new bmws look like skoda and citroen i mean whyyy!! Odd choices
@@2good2beuntrue
2:42 so if that’s the case, why do VW have front light bars in the UK?? They’re annoying and tacky!
Lol true
Prob cuz they're lower down
Plenty ok new cars in the UK have a full width Light bar. Including my car.
I was just thinking that, the 2024 Kona in the Ultimate spec has a full light bar, I saw one last night!
Man! Hyundai is a long way from its first Pony car in mid 80’s !
Looks retro, I like it.
The lightbar issue is weird. VW products have that option in Europe, I believe.
It's beautiful can't wait the range in real world
is that screen bought from BMW?
I love this car! I want it for my family.
So why’s this different to the Also brand new Santa Fe which is also electric and also 7 seats
It's a beautiful full-size luxury 7-seater, though I prefer the more buff sister, the Kia EV9's look. The EV9 also looks a bit more harmonic. This Ioniq 9 looks like two different car designs glued together in the middle.
What are the trainers that Rory is wearing? They are dope.
We've an EV9. A fantastic car, but the width makes it a complete pain in the arse for our multi storeys, that were built for the cortina and Renault 11s.
The body's drag coefficient is 0,2.59.
Always come here to learn the British accent... always always a beauty
Shame we couldn’t see you drive it
Check out our most recent video to see Rory drive it 😊
Definitely getting Volvo vibes from the back end, very interesting and looking forward to meeting this one in person
lol that light bar rule is stupid because UK has the new Kona with the light bar ??😂😂😂🙄
Whats the Weight
It's lighter than a Range Rover.
8:41 WRONG - the Mercedes EQS has the biggest one with 118 kwh
But is that battery configuration available in the uk?
Because that’s where he’s referencing
and the BMW IX has 112kw battery.
@@JoshuaAfenyo obviously, it's even the only size they produce, there are no smaller ones anymore
@@dr-ok3sn I see
It looks amazing. I like it a lot more than the EV9.
Looks fab 😊
Nobody is doing as much as Hyundai right now. Invest in their stock.
Very minimalist ❤
hmm ive seen other review quote the boot space to be 620 litres with 6/7 seats which I thought was way too much. 338litres sounds more realistic!
Hyundai and Kia are steppin up their games.
Great ev!!!❤❤❤❤
I think that’s an oxymoron!
Does it have a frunk?

Ohh, yet another 3 ton electric SUV, exactly what we need...!
