Hyundai’s 2026 IONIQ 9 EV is making waves in the electric vehicle market with its attractive lease deal, affordable rates, and a substantial rebate. The automaker’s largest EV offering is proving to be a competitive choice for consumers looking to make the switch to electric.
According to a recent bulletin sent to dealers, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 S is available for lease at $419 per month for 36 months with $4,999 due at signing based on 10,000 miles per year. This brings the effective cost of the lease to $558 monthly. While this may be slightly more expensive than the Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive, which can be leased for $399 per month, the IONIQ 9 offers more value for the money with its spacious three-row seating and impressive driving range of 335 miles.
In terms of financing and incentives, Hyundai is not offering rebates on the IONIQ 9, but the vehicle qualifies for the $7,500 federal EV tax credit due to its manufacturing location in Georgia. Additionally, national financing rates for the IONIQ 9 start as low as 1.99% APR for up to 60 months, with a 72-month option available at 2.99%. This makes it a more attractive option compared to the Tesla Model Y, which has a 72-month option at 5.49% APR.
There is also a $5,000 financing incentive available for the IONIQ 9, but buyers must opt for a loan at a higher interest rate to qualify. However, it is more cost-effective to choose the lower APR financing option, as it could save buyers up to $2,200 in the long run.
Overall, the 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is proving to be a solid choice for consumers looking to make the switch to electric vehicles. With its competitive lease deal, affordable rates, and attractive financing options, the IONIQ 9 is setting a new standard for large electric SUVs in the market.
