Hyundai recently showcased the 2027 IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Black Ink during a recent media event near the Hyundai Metaplant in Georgia, as its most luxurious expression of electric mobility to date.
Assembled in Bryan County, Georgia, this flagship three-row SUV is designed for drivers who refuse to compromise between high-output performance and bespoke design. Expected to arrive at dealerships this summer, the Calligraphy Black Ink could have something not everyone would like. Looking at the Korean-spec model, and despite choosing the white color in which it is also available (though the U.S. model might only be available in black, likely for this very reason), we noticed that the tailgate door is completely black, no matter the exterior color.
Meticulous Design: The Art of “Calligraphy”
The “Calligraphy” designation is more than just a trim level; it is a philosophy. Inspired by the precision and intentionality of traditional calligraphic art, Hyundai has treated every stitch and surface of the IONIQ 9 as a purposeful work of art.
The “Black Ink” moniker adds a layer of depth, symbolizing strength and confidence. By combining these concepts, Hyundai transforms family transportation into a refined, elegant experience that stands out in a crowded EV market.
Exclusive “Black Ink” Exterior Enhancements
Available in the striking Abyss Black Pearl, the Calligraphy Black Ink model features a curated suite of blacked-out elements that give the SUV a stealthy, commanding silhouette. Key exterior highlights include:
Exclusive 21-inch Turbine Design alloy wheels finished in black.
Black chrome front skid plates and rear garnish.
Gloss black roof rails and window moldings.
Blacked-out front Hyundai emblems and inner door handles.
These updates refine the IONIQ 9’s already award-winning design, creating a more dramatic and sophisticated aesthetic.
A Sanctuary of Tech and Comfort
Inside, the IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Black Ink offers a standard six-passenger layout focused on serene comfort and sustainable luxury. The cabin is outfitted with a specialized black interior colorway and premium materials, including:
First- and Second-Row Relaxation Seats: Featuring power recline and ventilation for ultimate passenger comfort.
Sustainable Materials: An eco-suede headliner crafted from corn-derived fibers and unique aluminum trim with handcrafted patterns.
Third-Row Luxury: Even the third-row passengers enjoy heated seats, a rarity in the segment.
The tech suite is equally impressive, featuring a 10-inch Head-Up Display (HUD), a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system, and a digital Full Display Rearview Mirror. For added convenience, the vehicle includes Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2) and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, allowing you to power external devices using the car’s battery.
