2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 Release Date USA Guide – The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 (often styled IONIQ 9) is the second model year of Hyundai’s flagship three-row all-electric SUV. It arrives at U.S. dealerships in summer 2026.
Hyundai officially unveiled the new top-of-the-line 2027 IONIQ 9 AWD Performance Calligraphy Black Ink model on April 28, 2026, near its Metaplant America facility in Georgia. The company confirmed that this new trim—and the broader 2027 lineup—will be available at dealers this summer.
As of August 2026, the 2027 model is rolling out or imminent at U.S. Hyundai dealers, following the original 2026 Ioniq 9 that went on sale in spring/early summer 2025.
What’s New for the 2027 Model Year?
The 2027 Ioniq 9 is largely a carryover from the 2026 model with no major exterior redesign or powertrain changes. The key addition is the new Calligraphy Black Ink (also called Black Ink Edition) trim at the top of the lineup.
This exclusive version features:
- Abyss Black Pearl exterior paint only
- Black chrome front skid plate and rear garnish
- Gloss black roof rails, window moldings, inner door handles, and badges
- Exclusive black 21-inch Turbine Design alloy wheels
- All-black interior with black aluminum trim and steering wheel
- Premium features including relaxation seats, heated third-row seats, eco-suede headliner, 10-inch head-up display, 14-speaker Bose audio, digital rearview mirror, Remote Smart Parking Assist 2, panoramic roof, integrated dash cam, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability
It is built exclusively at the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America in Bryan County, Georgia.
Expected Pricing in the USA
Official pricing for the full 2027 lineup has not been fully detailed in every source at the time of writing, but estimates place the range from approximately $61,200 to $81,500 or higher for the top Black Ink model.
