Hyundai’s new electric SUV is more affordable than you might think. The IONIQ 9 is currently a better deal than the Kia EV9, with Hyundai offering up to $13,000 off.
Hyundai IONIQ 9 is even more affordable with June deals
After delivering the first IONIQ 9 models just last month, Hyundai is already offering discounts. Despite a starting price of over $60,500, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is currently listed for lease at just $419 per month.
The offer is for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing. At that, you’ll end up paying $558 per month. That’s even cheaper than Kia’s three-row electric SUV, despite an MSRP that’s nearly $5,000 more.
Kia’s EV9 is currently listed for lease at $429 for 36 months. With $4,999 due at signing, the effective rate is $568 per month, or $10 more than the IONIQ 9.

The IONIQ 9 is more affordable thanks to Hyundai’s generous $13,000 lease cash offer. Kia, on the other hand, is only offering $7,500, or essentially passing on the federal EV tax credit for lessees.

You can even upgrade to the AWD SE or SEL trims for just $449 or $449 per month for 36 months. The offer also includes $4,999 due at signing. Alternatively, you can opt for 1.99% APR financing for up to 60 months, offered on all 2026 IONIQ 9 trims.
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 S starts at $60,555, including destination, with a range of 335 miles. The AWD SE and SEL models offer 320 miles of range, starting at $64,365 and $67,920, respectively.

Inside, the electric SUV boasts up to 2,462 liters (87 cubic feet) of interior cargo space, which is even more than the Ford Explorer. The 2025 Ford Explorer has a cargo capacity of up to 2,429 liters (85.8 cubic feet).
The IONIQ 9 is not only spacious, but it’s also loaded with Hyundai’s latest tech and features. The infotainment system consists of a dual 12.3″ driver cluster and infotainment screens as part of a curved panoramic display.

Like the upgraded 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5, the IONIQ 9 features a built-in NACS port, allowing you to use Tesla Superchargers.
If you’re looking for something a little smaller, the 2025 IONIQ 5 is hard to pass up right now with leases starting at just $179 per month. Last month, it was listed at $209 per month, which was still considered one of the best EV deals.
