IONIQ 9 trims and Canadian prices

The Car Guide reported on August 20, 2026 that the Essential RWD and Preferred AWD+ don't return for 2027, and that 422 hp now requires the Ultimate Calligraphy package, which costs more than CA$16,000. For 2027 trim prices, use Hyundai Canada's Build & Price tool or ask a dealer.

IONIQ 9 battery, range and charging

Every IONIQ 9 uses a 110.3 kWh battery and 800-volt charging hardware. Its NACS port opens up many Tesla Superchargers, and Hyundai Canada says 2027 models come with AC and DC CCS adapters. Hyundai quotes about 24 minutes from 10 to 80% on a 350 kW charger; The Car Guide lists 9.7 hours at 240 volts.

Auto123 reported on May 25, 2026 that Natural Resources Canada had published range figures for two 2027 versions, the same as for 2026: 515 km for the Preferred AWD and up to 500 km for the version Auto123 calls the Performance AWD (Preferred AWD+). The Car Guide lists combined energy use of 23.0 kWh/100 km for the 2026 Essential RWD and 23.8 kWh/100 km for the Preferred AWD.

Where the IONIQ 9 is built and the federal rebate

The Car Guide and Auto123 report that the 2026 IONIQ 9 for Canada is built in Ulsan, South Korea, rather than at Hyundai's Georgia Metaplant, which The Car Guide says keeps it clear of Canada's counter-tariffs on US-built vehicles. For a 2027, ask the dealer to confirm where it was built.

The EV Affordability Program pays up to CA$5,000 on an eligible EV in 2026 and CA$4,000 from January 1, 2027. Imports must come from a free-trade-agreement country and have a final transaction value of CA$50,000 or less. Transport Canada's list (modified March 10, 2026) shows no IONIQ 9; the Kona Electric is the only Hyundai on it.
