Hyundai IONIQ 9

Hello Friend And Welcome Back To Another Blog!!!

Today I want to talk about the car that’s been on my mind lately — the Hyundai IONIQ 9. I’m just a regular person, no “car-guru” or anything fancy, so I’ll keep it simple and share what I found and what I think about it.

What is this car?

So brother, the Hyundai IONIQ 9 is a big deal for Hyundai. It’s their flagship electric SUV — a full electric vehicle (EV) with three rows for passengers, built on the advanced E-GMP platform. Do you know it’s very special or unique? Because Hyundai is going all-in with this: big battery, long range, big interior.

Price in our town

In our town (Patna, Bihar) or more broadly India, here’s what I gathered. The estimated price for this car is around ₹1 crore (ex-showroom).Some sources say it may go up to ₹1.20–1.30 crore depending on variant.So if you’re thinking, “What will it cost in our city?”—expect the ballpark of ₹1 crore+ before additional on-road costs.

Key features that caught my eye

Friend, here are the things I liked (and think you might too) about the Hyundai IONIQ 9:

It has a 110.3 kWh battery pack globally (so big battery).
The claimed range is up to 620 km (depending on variant/condition) which is excellent.
It can seat 6 or 7 people, so if you have a family and kids + luggage, this is a very “family friendly” EV.
Design wise: very modern, boxy but sleek, pixel lighting elements (cool LED stuff) and big wheels (19-inch up).
Inside, very techy: large screens (dual 12.3-inch display) for instrument/information, high quality feel.
Advanced safety and driver assistance features (ADAS). So you’re getting both luxury and practicality.

My “real-life” take-aways

Brother, imagining this car in everyday use here in Bihar:

If you drive with family to nearby towns or go on holiday trips, the 6/7 seating + long range is a big plus.
Charging infrastructure: Since it’s an EV, you’ll need to plan for charging. But with such a big battery and decent claimed range, the “range anxiety” is less (though local charging points still matter).
Cost of ownership: While the upfront price is high, because it’s electric you may save on fuel (petrol/diesel) and maintenance in the long run. But you’ll also have to think about service and maybe availability of parts (since it’s a premium EV).
For city use in Patna: it would be a bit of a “head-turner” car — people will notice it. So if you like making a statement, yes. But if you’re more budget-conscious, then you might focus on smaller EVs.

Areas to think about (because nothing’s totally perfect)

Even though range is good on paper, real conditions (traffic, heat, AC usage, etc) will reduce it. So don’t assume you’ll always get “620 km” in Indian roads.
Cost of charging at home and public chargers – you’ll need infrastructure (home charger installation, electricity cost).
Price is very high — so it’s for the premium set of buyers.
Launch in India: The car is “upcoming” for India, not fully launched yet, so some details (service, variants, exact price) may change.

Why I think this car will make sense for some people

So brother, if I put myself in the shoes of someone living in Patna, here’s when I’d say yes to this car: if you have a family with 3-4 kids/parents, often travel out of city on weekends, value comfort + technology + eco-friendly driving, and you can manage the budget.

If I compare to my current daily car (imagine a petrol sedan), this Hyundai IONIQ 9 gives me: more space, zero tail-pipe emissions, latest tech, and something futuristic. That “wow” factor matters.

Colours & style

They say the car will come in multiple colours (Hyundai usually offers a good palette). I couldn’t find a full list yet for India, but globally expect “modern” finishes (maybe matte/metallic). It’d be nice to pick a bold colour if you want to stand out — e.g., “matte grey”, “midnight black”, maybe “pearl white”.

3. Technology & Features

Now, this car is loaded with tech — and let me tell you what impressed me:

Twin 12-inch displays (one for the instrument cluster, one for infotainment).
Massage seats, ambient lighting, many USB-C ports (even 100W) for second & third rows Hyundai IONIQ 9.
Safety: 10 airbags, ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) like automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist.
Charging & vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability: you may be able to plug in other devices from the car.
Colours: Some special finishes globally — e.g., Celadon Gray Matte/Metallic, Ionosphere Green Pearl etc.

Final thoughts

So friend, to wrap up: the Hyundai IONIQ 9 is very promising — big battery, good features, three-row seating, premium feel. The price is steep (₹1 crore+), and you’ll need to check how things like charging infrastructure and servicing work in your town. If you’re looking for a “car of the future” and can stretch the budget, it’s a strong contender. If you’re budget-sensitive, you might wait for “less expensive EVs” of Hyundai or other brands.

My Point of View (Aam Aadmi’s take)

If I were you or me thinking about buying this:

If your budget allows ~₹1 crore+ and you really value tech, family space, future-proofing, then yes this is a very good option.
If I lived in Patna and often drive with family, or go for weekend trips, then this car would be more than just a commuter — it would be a weekend warrior + family luxury ride.
But: If I mostly drive short city distances, budget is limited, or charging access is weak, then maybe a smaller EV would make more sense. Because the Hyundai IONIQ 9 size, price and battery are premium territory.
Also: Check the service network in your area, charger availability, home installation cost etc — sometimes these “extras” matter as much as the car.

Conclusion

So brother, the Hyundai IONIQ 9 is a bold, premium, family-friendly electric SUV. It offers big battery, serious range potential, modern tech, and strong comfort. The price in our town will be steep (~₹1 crore+), and you’ll need to consider infrastructure and practicalities. But if you go for it, you’ll definitely drive something special.
