The future of the electric family SUV has officially arrived. At Greg Hubler Hyundai in Muncie, we are incredibly proud to introduce the first-ever 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9. Built from the ground up on a dedicated electric platform, this flagship three-row SUV completely redefines spaciousness, luxury, and zero-emissions capability. Boasting a massive high-capacity battery, standard North American Charging Standard (NACS) integration, and up to 422 horsepower, the IONIQ 9 proves that transitioning your family to electric power requires absolutely zero compromises.
Navigating family life in Eastern Indiana requires a vehicle built for versatility. The 2026 IONIQ 9 delivers perfectly. Imagine taking a weekend boating trip out to Prairie Creek Reservoir; with an impressive 5,000-pound towing capacity, you can haul your gear effortlessly while the vehicle's intelligent trailer mode actively recalculates your range.
When the holidays approach and you are driving to Chicago or Columbus, the remarkable 335-mile EPA-estimated range ensures you can cruise past gas stations with total peace of mind. Plus, with native NACS charging ports, accessing fast chargers along I-69 or I-70 via the Tesla Supercharger Network is easier than ever.
Hyundai has engineered the 2026 IONIQ 9 to provide effortless power across the entire lineup. Every model is equipped with a high-capacity 110.3 kWh battery, but the motor configurations vary depending on your chosen trim, allowing you to prioritize maximum range or exhilarating performance.

The IONIQ 9 shatters the misconception that electric vehicles cannot handle heavy-duty weekend chores.
Finding the perfect IONIQ 9 for your family is simple, thanks to a streamlined trim hierarchy designed to cater to different driving needs.
The IONIQ 9 commands attention with a striking, aerodynamic silhouette dubbed the "Aerosthetic" design. The smooth, sweeping roofline and flush door handles work together to reduce aerodynamic drag, directly contributing to the vehicle's exceptional highway range.
Signature Parametric Pixel lighting illuminates the front and rear, ensuring the vehicle is instantly recognizable day or night. Despite its sleek styling, the exterior remains highly functional, with a wide, power-operated tailgate designed to make loading large items as easy as possible.
Because it is built on a dedicated EV platform without a traditional transmission tunnel, the interior of the IONIQ 9 features a completely flat floor. This creates a lounge-like, airy atmosphere for up to seven occupants.
Hyundai has transformed the dashboard into a high-tech command center.
Protecting your family is the ultimate luxury. The IONIQ 9 is equipped with the latest generation of Hyundai SmartSense Safety Technologies. Features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot View Monitor, and Highway Driving Assist work in harmony to monitor your surroundings, keep the vehicle centered in its lane, and automatically apply the brakes if a potential hazard is detected ahead.
Recharging the 2026 IONIQ 9 is faster and more convenient than ever, directly addressing the biggest hurdle for modern EV buyers. For a comprehensive look at local charging infrastructure, visit our Muncie EV Charging Station Guide.
