The front row features the Universal Island 2.0 console that offers storage, charging solutions, and two-way centre armrests. The Ioniq 9 stands out with its second-row swivel seats. These rotate on their axis when the vehicle is stationary, allowing the second and third-row passengers to face each other. Hyundai will offer six and seven-seat configurations with the option to fully recline the first and second rows. The vehicle brings a flat floor that offers more passenger space. The Ioniq 9 brings 1,899 mm of headroom and 2,050 mm of legroom when the second and third rows are combined.

The display further houses a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen display. The driver gets access to Bluelink Connected Car Services which offers features such as online voice recognition and real-time road surface and driving judgments. Passengers can avail 100W high-output USB-C ports which are connected to the Ioniq 9’s high-voltage battery.
