SEOUL, Nov. 21 (Korea Bizwire) – South Korea’s leading carmaker Hyundai Motor Co. has unveiled its first-ever large-sized all-electric Ioniq 9 sport utility vehicle (SUV) in a world premiere event held in the United States, the company said Thursday.
The event was held at Goldstein House in Los Angeles on Wednesday (U.S. time) to showcase the third model in Hyundai’s Ioniq electric-vehicle lineup, according to the Korean company. The company has released the Ioniq 5 and 6 since 2022.

The carmaker will introduce the brand new three-row electric SUV to the public at the LA Auto Show set to kick off Friday.
Sales of the Ioniq 9 will begin in the domestic and U.S. markets in the first half next year, with subsequent rollout planned for Europe and other regions.
