SEOUL, December 12 (AJP) - Hyundai Motor’s flagship electric SUV, the Ioniq 9, has taken the top spot in a major German comparison of electric SUVs, outperforming competing models from BMW, Volvo and Polestar, the company said Friday.
German automotive magazine Auto Zeitung evaluated the Ioniq 9 against the BMW iX, Volvo EX90 and Polestar 3, reviewing categories including body design, driving convenience, powertrain and dynamic performance.
The publication highlighted the vehicle’s spacious interior, made possible by Hyundai’s dedicated E-GMP electric platform. The second row includes power-adjustable leg rests, while the electronically folding third row offers greater cargo flexibility than its rivals.
The magazine also cited the SUV’s additional features — such as a UV-C sterilization compartment, a Bose audio system with active road-noise control, and improved connectivity functions including charging-station navigation — as competitive strengths.
“We are pleased that the Ioniq 9 has been recognized for its advanced technology and market appeal,” the company said in a press release. “We will continue striving to deliver top-tier electrification experiences to customers worldwide.”
