Hyundai Motor launched an updated version of its flagship Ioniq 9 electric SUV — with enhanced convenience features across all trims — in Korea on Thursday.

For the entry-level Exclusive trim, Hyundai Motor added second-row ventilated and swiveling seats as standard features for the entry-level Exclusive trim, water-repellent front windows for the Prestige trim and heated third-row seats for the top-tier Calligraphy trim.

Hyundai Motor also expanded premium design elements previously available only in the top trim to the Prestige trim to heighten the vehicles appeal.

First launched in February last year, the Ioniq 9 is equipped with a 110.3-kilowatt-hour battery, enabling a driving range of more than 500 kilometers (310.7 miles) on a single charge across all variants.

“The updated Ioniq 9 further enhances product competitiveness by expanding preferred features while offering the distinct value of a large electric SUV backed by proven safety performance,” a company spokesperson said.
