Hyundai has just released their new electric SUV, the IONIQ 9, and it’s proving to be more affordable than expected. With a starting price of over $60,500, Hyundai is currently offering some great deals on leasing the IONIQ 9, making it a better deal than the Kia EV9 with discounts of up to $13,000.
The current lease offer for the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is just $419 per month for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing, bringing the total to $558 per month. This is even cheaper than Kia’s three-row electric SUV, which is listed at $429 per month with similar terms.
