The Hyundai IONIQ 9 is the brand's flagship three-row electric SUV and one of the more interesting cars to import right now, because it is built in the United States.
Model profile
The IONIQ 9 was revealed in late 2024 and reached customers from 2025 as a 2026 model-year vehicle. It is built at Hyundai's Metaplant America (HMGMA) in Bryan County, Georgia, the company's dedicated EV facility, which is why US-market cars carry American assembly.
Powertrain and equipment
The IONIQ 9 is fully electric and offered in single- and dual-motor forms fed by a large battery of roughly 110 kWh. The rear-wheel-drive Long Range version uses a single rear motor of about 160 kW (roughly 215 hp).
The IONIQ 9 is a single large SUV body offered with six or seven seats, the six-seat layout using second-row captain's chairs.
Vehicle selection
Because sales only started in 2025, used IONIQ 9s are young and low-mileage, typically early lease returns and trade-ins.
The IONIQ 9 is aimed at families who need three rows and want to go electric without compromising on range or charging speed.

Pre-purchase review
For the Hyundai IONIQ 9, the agreed inspection plan focuses in particular on battery condition, charging interface, warning messages, software status and accessible high-voltage and cooling-system components. USCar Trader can document these points through a separately commissioned on-site inspection; inaccessible areas or unauthorised road tests are explicitly recorded as unchecked.
Germany and Europe
US IONIQ 9s use a NACS (Tesla-style) charging port rather than the CCS2 standard used in Europe, so plan for an adapter to use European CCS chargers, and confirm AC charging compatibility.
Typical work covers lighting adaptation to ECE requirements, confirming a rear fog lamp, and a km/h speedometer.
USCar Trader services
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.
Import process
The assessment depends on the specific vehicle and the circumstances of the transaction. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review any possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are considered separately.
Questions and answers
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU.

Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
EPA figures reach roughly 335 miles on efficient rear-drive cars; AWD versions are somewhat lower, and cold weather reduces real-world range.
Thanks to its 800V system it can go from 10 to 80 percent in roughly 20–25 minutes under ideal conditions.
US cars use a NACS port, so a CCS adapter is needed for European fast chargers; this should be arranged before shipping.
Six or seven, with the six-seat layout using second-row captain's chairs.
Usually several weeks from purchase to registration, driven mainly by ocean freight and inspection scheduling.
Available VIN, title and history information can be reviewed in the vehicle profile. USCar Trader can also arrange a separately booked on-site inspection within a scope agreed in advance.
