The Hyundai IONIQ 9 has been selected as the ‘2025 Wards 10 Best Interiors & UX list’ by WardsAuto, Hyundai Motors shared in a statement on April 24, 2025.
The award evaluates vehicles based on various aspects that shape the user’s experience inside the vehicle, including design and aesthetics, comfort, materials, fit-and-finish, connectivity and infotainment, ADAS content and value, and ease of access to information without distraction for displays and controls.
The IONIQ 9 was awarded for its cleverly designed interior, thoughtful design, top-notch comfort, eco-conscious materials, and intuitive tech integration and use of sustainable materials. “The IONIQ 9’s interior blends modern design with everyday utility, offering generous cargo space, a clean, open layout, and eco-friendly materials that reflect our commitment to sustainability,” said Ricky Lao, director, product planning, Hyundai Motor North America. “As an all-electric SUV, the IONIQ 9 delivers a spacious, refined cabin that meets the evolving needs of today’s drivers and families – we’re honored to receive this award.”
The IONIQ 9 accommodates up to seven occupants in its spacious interior while providing innovative features that cater to everyone’s individual needs. The IONIQ 9 adapts to users’ dynamic lifestyles, managing busy schedules through smart connectivity features or unwinding in its lounge-like interior.
According to Hyundai, WardsAuto editors selected the list after evaluating vehicles with new or heavily redesigned interiors and user-experience technology. “The IONIQ 9 is everything you could want in an upscale family hauler.
