Guide prices are approximate and some may already include the Electric Car Grant. Pure EV range is a typical real-world estimate; plug-in hybrid range is the official electric-only figure. Battery chemistry is shown only where a source names it. *Warranty depends on servicing conditions. "Check" means we have not confirmed it: ask the seller. Reliability: see the Warrantywise Reliability Index (built from used-car repair data, so many new models have no score).

What battery do Hyundai cars use?
Sources name the battery chemistry for Hyundai Ioniq 9 Long Range RWD (7 seats) (NMC), Hyundai Ioniq 9 Long Range AWD (7 seats) (NMC). Other versions may differ, and it is not named for every Hyundai in our list, so ask the seller to confirm the chemistry for the exact car.
How reliable are Hyundai cars?
