What to watch
Ownership notes before you buy
- Hyundai's current UK material says the final homologation data is still pending, so the range and charging figures should be read as the latest official published claims rather than immutable final certification numbers.
- Its size and pricing put it well beyond the mainstream family-EV brief, so the ownership case depends on genuinely needing the third row and cargo headroom.

Hyundai IONIQ 9 vs Kia EV9
