Built at the latest magnificent Hyundai Motor Group factory in Georgia, Ioniq 9 offers six trim options, all of which promise a distance of over 300 miles (about 482 kilometers).

As for the variant, Ioniq 9 RWD S is the most superior in terms of travel distance, capable of reaching 335 miles (about 539 kilometers) with a single electric motor behind which produces 215 hp of power.
