Redline Reviews gave the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq9 SEL an overwhelmingly positive assessment with a 94/100 OctaneScore, praising nearly every aspect of the vehicle. The standout strengths include its impressive economy—offering up to 335 miles of EPA-estimated range and 10-to-80% fast charging in 24 minutes—and exceptional livability, with a massive 123.2-inch wheelbase and 5,000-pound towing capacity that make it Hyundai's largest SUV. The cabin tech scores equally high with its dual 12.3-inch displays and thoughtful details like one-touch window controls, while the sleek design features parametric pixel LED headlights and a 0.259 drag coefficient that's among the best for SUVs. The only caveat is pricing: the vehicle is expected to span from the mid-$50,000s to nearly $80,000, which reviewers flagged as expensive, though federal tax credits may ease that burden. This three-row electric SUV is an ideal choice for Palisade owners seeking a fully electric upgrade without sacrificing space or capability.
