"We've designed the Ioniq 9 with comfort and convenience in mind," a Hyundai spokesperson said. "From the relaxation seats with dynamic touch massage in the second row to the flat-laying seats in the first and second rows, we want passengers to feel at home on the road."The second-row seats can swivel to face the third row when the vehicle is stationary, creating a lounge-like atmosphere. With 80.7 inches of combined legroom in the second and third rows and a completely flat floor, passengers will have plenty of space to stretch out.
