Designed for customers seeking maximum luxury, exclusive design, and top‑tier performance, Calligraphy Black Ink elevates the award‑winning IONIQ 9 SUV with a sleek and sophisticated new look. This new trim delivers an even more premium and dramatic look for Hyundai's flagship EV. Assembled in Bryan County, Georgia, the new IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Black Ink will be available at dealers this summer.
A New Flagship for a New Era
"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.
About the Meaning of "Calligraphy"
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, the IONIQ 9 Calligraphy Black Ink embodies a meticulous approach to design, one where every surface, stitch, and detail is shaped with purpose. This model's "Black Ink" designation further reinforces this idea, symbolizing clarity, strength, and confidence. Together, the name represents Hyundai's commitment to transforming everyday family transportation into something refined, elegant, and deeply considered.
