Hyundai calls its design philosophy “aerosthetic,” and it aims to be aero-efficient and playful without polarizing opinion.

Three versions are available, each equipped with a thumping NCM lithium-ion 110.3-kWh battery.

Prices and specifications are still unconfirmed, but we expect this version to cost around 74,000 in the UK ( about $94,000 ).

The Ioniq 9 is a Covid-era car, and its interior design reflects the global crisis that formed a backdrop to its creation.

There are six USB-C ports inside on all three rows that can deliver 100 watts of power.

The interior can be pre-conditioned before you set off.

There’s a welcome burst of acceleration to begin with before the power delivery tails off progressively.

The steering is nicely weighted without being over-burdened with feel.

The regen braking gives you the option of single-pedal driving if you want it.

Expect to see more than 300 miles of range in warmer conditions.
