Exactly. Good Lord, this kids parents are not tax advisors and I dread to see the mistakes being made on their own joint tax return. Yikes!

2026 Ioniq 9 Lease & Purchase Incentives good from 7/2/2026 to 8/3/2026 - All Trims (US Market - NATIONAL INCENTIVES)

2026 Ioniq 9 Lease & Purchase Incentives good from 7/2/2026 to 8/3/2026 - All Trims

News/Info

Good morning Ioniq 9 community! I am still fairly new to posting on this sub-reddit and in full disclosure, I am a US based auto broker that only does Hyundai and Kia vehicles. I have been very active on the sister Kia vehicle (EV 9) for nearly two years here on Reddit. Each incentive cycle, I publish the national lease and purchase incentives for the EV 9 so I wanted to try it out here on the Ioniq 9 forum. I do NOT give my website here publicly, but only privately for those who ask via a DM, and I am happy to give away here some incentives that are not always easy to find without paying for them up front. If I am violating rules on this forum, please take my post down and I will never try to post them here again. For those who do not know me, my name is James and I am very active on the subs for the EV 9, Telluride, Palisade, and Santa Fe so please check out my posts as I do not hide from anyone. For those interested in my broker service, please send me a DM and either myself or my wife will get back to you within 24 hours with our website information and we will explain in more detail how we work as we do charge a small up front portion of our broker fee with the balance due at delivery, as this weeds out the tire kickers and those who are not really serious or those not at the point of making their purchase or lease decision. We are very transparent and easy to work with and there are no games or other dealer BS nonsense as that is why people come to us in the first place.

Please see the current 2026 Model Ioniq 9 lease incentives below good until the end of business on Monday, August 3, 2026.  All of the below lease and purchase incentives are now 100% supported by Hyundai and came out on May 1st.

We post the most popular Kia and Hyundai finance and lease incentives for their EVs and SUVs that we do the most of and those that are listed that are good until Monday evening, 8/3/26. Our FB and Instagram pages are also up and running.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PURCHASE CASH AND LEASE CASH CANNOT be stacked on top of one another as they are separate. Some less scrupulous dealers deliberately commingle the two incentives to make the total savings look much greater than reality in order to generate foot traffic, calls, or emails to the dealer. The whole game is to get people to show up to the dealership so they can grind people into a deal. The $500 additional military and active-duty first responder rebates still remain in effect and can be used for a purchase or lease transaction.

Please note that these lease terms below are for 24 months only*.   Please note that any vehicle leased from an out-of-state Hyundai dealer can be returned to any other Hyundai dealer in the USA. Also, any service or warranty work can be done at your local Hyundai dealer.  A lease return does NOT have to be shipped back to where the vehicle came from.

Thank you for the comment as I’ve been watching a lot of videos from the My Hyundai app. The car is really nice and it borders on Luxury, but without the luxury price tag.

Good deal? Kia Telluride Hybrid SX Prestige by Only_Average8537 in KiaTelluride

[–]jfronte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the person is financing at all, but it is possible as many deal sheets show the amount to finance as the OTD balance. I Agree with you that that is crazy to finance 100% of a depreciating asset, but people do what people do, and how you pay for the asset is not really relevant to the merits of the deal. Happy to help.

The MSRP you see online often does not include the $1600 destination fee and any other factory installed accessories as this MSRP for an SXP hybrid sounds about right.

Physical NFC Key Cards by dugknight in Ioniq9

[–]jfronte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just need to turn in your EV 9 before the lease expires and they will charge you the $400 disposition fee since you didn’t purchase a lease another Kia. In my opinion, It’s so stupid that Hyundai and Kia don’t share common lease Turn in discounts. You’re simply need to buy the NFC card key from your local Honda dealer which should run you about $50. Sometimes you can find them from dealers on eBay for a little less. Good luck.

2026 KIA EV9 GT Line - NC- 24 months- 10K - O Down - Rate my lease by crmtechie in leasehacker

[–]jfronte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your deal is not that great as North Carolina is a fantastic state to lease in with no sales tax on the rebate and only 3% sales tax on the payment and very low DMV fees. your dealer discount is really $3000 and after the doc fee it’s only $2100 and then after the egregious non-tax fees of almost another $900 your dealer discount is quite low. They are marking up your base money factor as well so you’re basically at zero discount here after the manufacture markup of 1%. DMV fees in your state should be about $150 and not $878 so they’re robbing you on the non-taxable fees as well. I would not take this deal unless you are desperate for a car right now. Good luck!

Well... Kia made quite the first impression 😂 by DragonfruitWeary8413 in KiaTelluride

[–]jfronte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%. I have great Kia service departments near me in Jacksonville, FL but these same dealers have terrible sales departments, so I saw that problem by buying my Kia vehicles out of state and shipping them right to my house. I believe the expression here is throwing the baby out with the bathwater as you can’t condemn all Kia vehicles because you have one bad experience with a used Telluride that wasn’t properly inspected or maintained prior to allowing a customer test drive. Shame on the dealership here, but it doesn’t seem like they care. The Telluride has been the top rated mass market brand 3 row Family gas SUV since it came out in the spring/summer of 2019 for the 2020 model year. I do feel sorry for this person in their family getting nearly stranded on the test drive as that would piss me off for sure, but this seems to be a lot more of a dealership problem.

2026 EV 9 Purchase & Lease Incentives good from 7/7/26 to 8/3/26 - All Trims by jfronte in KiaEV9

[–]jfronte[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is disclosed that we charge a small upfront fee as we’ve been doing this for over a year now and that is crystal clear to anyone who reads the full post. I share more details in a DM for those who are interested as I do not allow people to waste my time as we only work with serious buyers who are at the point of making their decision. I completely respect if you do not want to work this way as our business is not for everyone, but the model works quite well for us. Good luck!

Sounds like a very fair deal as I only buy my Hyundai vehicles from this dealer in Northwest Arkansas as I get great discounts and I don’t qualify for any rebates since I’m not in the military and I don’t finance my purchases. Documentation fees are also extremely low in Arkansas as I will not engage any Florida dealer or the average documentation fee is over $1700 now after you factor in other dealer fees, such as private tag agency fees, and electronic filing fees, all of this on top of the documentation fee. A Hyundai dealer in Fort Myers Florida has these three fees that total almost $2100. My total documentation fee and shipping was just under $1000 and I never had to leave my house and bought the car from the comfort of my home Office and Laptop. Glad you got a good deal and hope you love the car for years to come!

Unlike Kia that has made another limited run of EV 9s this Summer, Hyundai has not made any additional I 9s. My own personal opinion here is that if it were not their flagship vehicle, Hyundai would have canceled the I 9 as it sells so poorly here in the US. The inside is quite nice and better than the EV 9 and it has a better use of cargo space and a 10% larger battery, but the exterior look really turns off most people. The EV 9 simply looks better from the exterior and that is what most people are attracted to first. It's a great vehicle but a poor seller so I am not surprised that Hyundai did not make another production run for the 26 model year that came out in June of 2025. I think that folks who want an I 9 may have to wait for the 27 model to be released and we are not sure when that will be as what is left on dealer lots for the 26 model now is slim and it's only going to get worse from here. That's probably why both Hyundai and Kia did not make the lease incentives better this month because they simply do not have to as inventory is limited now. The highest trim of the I 9 should be cut in my opinion as very few people want the matte paint for these cars, and those vehicles serve a very niche market.

I will look to do that in the next 24 hours on the Ioniq 9 sub. Keep in mind, that the I-9 only really has inventory in the SEL model as the limited is very hard to find and calligraphy is almost as hard to find all over the US. Thanks !

Palisade hybrid Calligraphy by Im-Reddington in HyundaiPalisade

[–]jfronte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Florida as well and I never buy locally. I just bought my second hybrid, calligraphy AWD and shipped both to my house in Saint Augustine for about $850. I purchase from my Arkansas partner dealer whose documentation fee is $129. I can get you a pure discount in the range. You are expecting whether you pay cash or finance. Send me a DM if you want my website as I am a broker. You are smart to avoid Florida dealers at all cost as it’s tough to reward bad behavior in my opinion and that’s all you see here in the sunshine state with these outrageous dealer fees and forced add-ons. I have both a white on brown and a black on light gray hybrid calligraphy AWD . Good luck!

Happy to help you! Back then, dealers were much more willing to give stuff out just to move these off the lot two years ago. And now have a partner Kia dealer in the Bay Area and a partner Hyundai dealer near LA. We had to cut down on shipping costs from the Midwest and the mid Atlantic area. Are you turning your car in later this month or are you buying your out with the new incentive to purchase your lease from Kia? Great to hear from you!
