Hyundai is standing fast when it comes to electric vehicles, if the new 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 AWD Performance Calligraphy Black Ink model debuted last week during an event held at its new plant just outside Savannah, Georgia.
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 AWD Performance Calligraphy Black Ink model moves it upscale a bit.
The automaker’s new variant moves the Ioniq 9 a bit upmarket, as the Calligraphy trim level is Hyundai’s near-luxury trim. The new version, which is produced at the Georgia plant, will be available this summer. No pricing information was given.
The Calligraphy name reflects Hyundai’s philosophy of crafting vehicles with the same care, precision, and artistry found in traditional calligraphic work. Just as calligraphy elevates written characters into expressive, intentional forms of art, Hyundai noted in a release.
Show stopper
“The 2027 Ioniq 9 Calligraphy Black Ink stands as Hyundai’s most luxurious electric SUV to date, delivering class‑leading performance, show‑stopping design, and the highest expression of the brand’s design and technological capability,” said Olabisi Boyle, senior vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America.
The Black Ink model exhibits a more formal, sophisticated look inside and out, according to the company, starting with the Abyss Black Pearl paint. Designers gave it a curated suite of blacked out exterior elements giving it a more refined look. Those elements include a black chrome front skid plate and rear garnish, gloss black roof rails, black window moldings, inner door handles and even the Hyundai emblem on the front is black.
