• Congestion Charge Exemptions: Drive into low-emission zones (ULEZ, CAZ) and city centres without incurring daily charges, saving money on every trip.

2. Executive Comfort and Versatile Space

Whether transporting clients or setting up a mobile office, the IONIQ 9 delivers premium space and technology.
