The Hyundai Ioniq 9 has one of the most polarizing designs of any SUV on the market today. Its retro-futuristic design won’t be loved by all, and even after a week driving it, I’m still not sure where I land. At any rate, I appreciate Hyundai’s decision to do something bold.
Despite the Ioniq 9’s edgy exterior, everything else about this SUV is familiar and comfortable. There are just two screens, loads of physical buttons, and lots of space. In the loaded Calligraphy Design trim tested here, it also comes with all the creature comforts and safety features you could ever want, making it easy to live with for a week—or longer.
