Hyundai Announces Spring 2025 Canadian Launch for IONIQ 9
January 26 2025,
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 arrives at Central Nova Hyundai in spring 2025, bringing advanced electric capabilities to Nova Scotia drivers. This three-row electric SUV introduces practical solutions for Maritime families with its spacious interior and all-weather performance features. The latest addition to Hyundai's electric lineup delivers 539 kilometres of EPA-estimated range, positioning it as a practical choice for both daily commutes and longer trips throughout Atlantic Canada.
Performance Specifications for Maritime Driving
Three distinct powertrain configurations address diverse driving needs across Nova Scotia. The Long-Range rear-wheel drive version maximizes efficiency with a 160 kW motor. The Long-Range all-wheel drive adds a 70 kW front motor for enhanced traction during coastal weather conditions. Performance-focused drivers appreciate the dual 160 kW motor setup, delivering responsive acceleration from 80 to 120 km/h in 3.4 seconds for confident highway passing on Highway 104.
Charging Solutions for Regional Travel
Fast charging capabilities support extended travel throughout the Maritimes. The 110.3 kWh battery system charges from 10 to 80 percent in 24 minutes using 350 kW DC fast charging stations. The integrated route planner helps locate charging stops between New Glasgow and Halifax. High-output USB-C ports in all three rows maintain device power through direct connection to the main battery system.
Interior Space for Maritime Life
The IONIQ 9's practical design accommodates both passengers and cargo. With 1,323 litres of storage behind the second row, you can transport everything from hockey equipment to camping gear. The front trunk adds 88 litres in rear-wheel drive models and 52 litres in all-wheel drive versions. The sliding center console moves 190 mm for easy access, while multiple storage compartments organize daily essentials.
Comfort Features for All Seasons
Nova Scotia's variable weather patterns require adaptable comfort systems. The dual-zone climate control maintains ideal temperatures while optimizing energy usage. First and second-row relaxation seats include full recline functions and leg rests, perfect for rest stops at charging stations. Second-row swivel seats create a social space when parked, ideal for family time at Melmerby Beach or Caribou Provincial Park.
Advanced Features for Daily Use
Sound-absorbing tires and enhanced structural elements create a quiet cabin environment on both city streets and coastal highways. The available 14-speaker audio system delivers clear sound throughout the cabin. The panoramic curved display provides easy access to vehicle information and entertainment features, while the steering wheel charge indicator offers clear feedback about remaining range.
