What's the difference?
Hyundai is reaching for new heights with the Ioniq 9. And I don't just mean that literally – though it's certainly true that this three-row electric SUV is an absolute giant of a vehicle. I mean because it's also the most expensive car, electric or otherwise, to ever wear the Hyundai badge.
With it, Hyundai steps into premium air – the Volvo EX90 starts at around the same money, as does the Audi Q6 e-tron, albeit with fewer seats.
And because Hyundai has only brought in one flagship variant, the Ioniq 9 is also miles above the cheapest Kia EV9. But will its customers rise with it?
Let's find out.
Remember when MG’s first convertible sports car came out? I don’t, I’m 30. But I remember when the most recent one came out.
It’s got a weird name and it’s very hard to avoid drawing attention to yourself when you get out of it at the shops… but should you buy one?
I’ve been getting about in the new MG Cyberster to answer exactly that question.
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is a big, comfortable and powerful SUV that ticks lots of boxes. Sadly, though, the electric power that makes it such a treat to drive is probably the same thing that will keep it off plenty of shopping lists. For now, at least.

The Cyberster is certainly an impressive thing in a lot of ways, but if you were expecting a perfect sports car from MG, you'll be a bit disappointed.Â
It's quite expensive if you're looking for a nice EV, but on the flip side it's quite cheap if being fast is your main concern.
If anything, the Cyberster is an exciting look at what the brand is capable of, even if it's a bit rough around the edges.
