5 Ways the 2026 IONIQ 9 Transforms Your Daily Drive
Posted on January 29, 2025
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 offers practical solutions for Quebec families seeking a versatile electric SUV. This three-row vehicle comes with thoughtfully designed features that enhance your daily routine—from morning commutes in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield to weekend getaways across the Montérégie region. The IONIQ 9’s blend of space and capability is perfectly suited to Quebec’s driving conditions.
Smart Storage Solutions for Every Season
Your cargo needs shift between winter gear and summer essentials. The IONIQ 9 adapts to these seasonal changes with 1,323 litres of rear cargo space when the third row is folded flat. The front trunk (frunk) provides 88 litres in all-wheel-drive models and 52 litres in rear-wheel-drive versions. A sliding center console moves 190 mm, offering easy access from both the front and rear seats. Multiple storage compartments throughout the cabin keep everyday items neatly organized.
All-Weather Performance for Quebec Roads
Quebec’s demanding climate calls for dependable performance. Three available powertrain options let you choose the configuration that best suits your lifestyle. The long-range all-wheel-drive model handles winter driving with confidence, while the Performance version delivers quick acceleration for safe highway passing on Routes 20 and 30. The rear-wheel-drive option maximizes range at 539 kilometers—ideal for trips to Montreal or adventures in the Eastern Townships.
Comfort Features for Regional Travel
Long drives feel shorter with the IONIQ 9’s relaxing seats. First- and second-row seats recline fully with leg rests, making roadside charging stops more comfortable. The dynamic body care system promotes circulation through targeted pressure points, enhancing comfort on drives to Ottawa or the Laurentians. When parked, second-row swivel seats create a social space for family moments.
Fast Charging for Busy Schedules
The 110.3 kWh battery system minimizes downtime. Using a 350 kW DC fast charger, the battery reaches 80% capacity in just 24 minutes. The EV route planner helps locate charging stations across Quebec, while a steering wheel display clearly shows your remaining range. High-speed USB-C ports in every row keep devices powered via a direct connection to the main battery.
Year-Round Climate Comfort
Quebec’s climate demands adaptive comfort systems. The dual-zone climate control maintains ideal cabin temperatures while conserving energy. Slim roof-mounted air vents pair with a panoramic sunroof to improve airflow distribution. Noise-reducing tires and structural enhancements create a quiet cabin—perfect for conversation or enjoying the available 14-speaker premium sound system.
