The Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9 are both large electric SUVs built on the same platform but with very different exterior designs. With its own exclusive front fascia and sleek body lines, the Ioniq 9 looks much more futuristic than the conventional models. The EV9, however, has a bolder, more boxy, more rugged look. The stark difference in design philosophy for two vehicles that share so much underneath has led to debate among EV enthusiasts. There are those who favor the Ioniq 9’s sleeker look, and others who are taken with the EV9’s more traditional SUV styling. In addition to influencing the size and style of the vehicle, the design choice also lends itself to issues such as interior space, visibility and aerodynamics which ultimately may affect the overall feel of and the efficiency of any given vehicle.
