IONIQ 9 Named Favorite Plug-In EV

If you’re searching for a quality EV to join the electric vehicle wave crossing the globe, according to MAMA (Midwest Automotive Media Association) the IONIQ 9 is the favorite Plug-In EV. If you live in Riverside, Perris, or Corona, the IONIQ 9 can be found at Pedder Hyundai of Moreno Valley.

What’s Special About the IONIQ 9?

For starters, the IONIQ 9 boasts an impressive 335 miles on a single charge in the RWD S. Other key reasons include bold and stylish design, three-rows of seating for 6 or 7 people, depending on the seating configuration you choose, and you’ll enjoy a highly versatile family-friendly experience.

Other key reasons for the award include cutting-edge technological features to provide access to more conveniences, connection, and time. For example, BlueLink is a connected car service at no extra charge to you that allows you to access IONIQ 9 to remotely schedule or stop/start charging, unlock doors, activate climate control and more, all from your smart phone. Your charging times can take you from 10% – 80% in as little as 24 minutes with the 800V/350kW DC ultra-fast charger, in about 40 minutes with the NACS V3 Supercharger, or from 10%-100% in about 9 hours with your 240V AC home charger.

Safety was another key component that helped IONIQ 9 earn its honorific title, because it was engineered into the vehicle. Hyundai’s first ever three-row EUV was designed with state-of-the-art safety technology to help keep you and your family safe. Standard on all trims is a comprehensive safety system that helps you avoid forward collisions with cars, pedestrians, and cyclists. Plus, the system monitors your surroundings when turning at a junction, crossing lanes, changing lanes, and oncoming lane changes with lane change side detection, evasive steering assist, and Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist. Other safety features standard across all trims include lane-following assist, high beam assist, driver attention warning, safe exit assist, highway driving assist, and more.

What is the MAMA Procedure to Get this Award?

There were about 80 new vehicles assessed during the program. The vehicles that received the “Favorite” accolades received their awards through a vote of 75 automotive journalists after considerations over seven categories. Hyundai vehicles have a history of winning awards with MAMA, with several wins over the last three years with other accolades like Favorite Vehicle of the Year with the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N for 2024.

What is the MAMA?

Founded in 1991, MAMA is a collaborative effort on the part of 300 automotive journalists and automotive professionals rooted in the mission to provide a forum for newsworthy people, products and current issues within the automotive industry. Winning Favorite Plug-In EV creates a great deal of prestige in the industry and this renown helps automotive consumers feel more informed about their choices in automobiles when it comes time to buy new or used vehicles.
