Exclusive Black Ink Package Introduced for Calligraphy Trim
Hyundai Motor Company announced on March 5 that it will launch the updated model of its large electrified SUV, the '2027 Ioniq 9'.
The company has further strengthened the vehicle's market competitiveness by making popular convenience features standard for each trim. The base 'Exclusive' trim now includes ventilated second-row seats and swiveling second-row seats as standard. The 'Prestige' trim features water-repellent first-row glass, while the top-tier 'Calligraphy' trim comes standard with heated third-row seats. Additionally, features that were previously exclusive to the highest trim, such as metal pedals and metal door scuffs, have now been extended to the Prestige trim as well.
In particular, Hyundai Motor Company is newly introducing a 'Black Ink Package' exclusive to the Calligraphy trim. This design package enhances the sophisticated and dynamic image of the vehicle by applying black color to the skid plate, wheels, emblem, and crash pad, further emphasizing its presence as a flagship electrified SUV.
After tax benefits, the retail prices for the 7-seater are as follows: Exclusive at 67.59 million won, Prestige at 73.25 million won, and Calligraphy at 78.11 million won. For the 6-seater: Exclusive at 68.17 million won, Prestige at 73.74 million won, and Calligraphy at 79.60 million won. For the Ioniq 9 Exclusive trim, customers can purchase the vehicle in the low 60 million won range, taking into account both national and local government subsidies.
To commemorate the Ioniq 9 receiving the 'Car of the Year' award from organizations such as the Korea Automobile Journalists Association and the Korea Automobile Press Association, Hyundai Motor Company is also holding a 'Driving Lounge Test Drive Event.' Until March 31, customers who test drive the Ioniq 9 at driving lounges nationwide and post a review on their personal social media will be entered into a drawing to win various prizes, including Bose Limited Edition speakers.
The Ioniq 9, launched in February last year, maximized interior space by utilizing the dedicated electric vehicle platform 'E-GMP' and the longest wheelbase in its class. Equipped with a 110.3kWh battery, all models offer a driving range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge.
The vehicle received the highest 'Top Safety Pick Plus (TSP+)' rating in the crash safety evaluation by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in the United States, and also earned the maximum five-star rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). In addition, the Ioniq 9 achieved the highest score among all evaluated vehicles in the comprehensive assessment of the '2025 Korea New Car Assessment Program (KNCAP)' announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority Automobile Safety Research Institute, demonstrating its leadership in electrification safety technology.
A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, "We have enhanced the product value by expanding customer-preferred features and will continue to provide customers with the differentiated value unique to large electrified SUVs, along with proven safety."
