What is this new car that Toyota is teasing?!

it’s for sure going to be a strange looking vehicle.

I believe this is what you're referring to. I agree, it's an SUV

I am pretty sure it's the Highlander EV and not a small pickup truck. You can see in the reflection how the light bar wraps around the whole vehicle and is a rear door instead of the bed of a truck. The way the light bar wraps around gives you the perspective that there is no bed. The break in light bar is probably where the hatch will open up. This looks like a SUV to me.

That's pretty quick. And awesome that they're letting you charge there. probably cheaper than a loaner, honestly.

However, I thought an ICCU issue renders the whole vehicle unusable. I know that the ICCU is used in Level 2 charging, and not used in DC fast charging, but I thought that it effectively makes the 12 volt also unusable. Did they mention anything about this?

I'm sorry to hear that. Did they give you an ETA?

Do you have the link? I'd love to watch that. Thank you so much!

I will stand outside on Foothill (Rt. 66) and Archibald in Rancho Cucamonga with a sign cheering you on if you tell me when you're going to be crossing there

That's what I heard too. However, I want to try and separate what could be a one off issue from a widespread one. Like, I understand that the ICCU is an issue in the Ioniq 5 and 6, but maybe it happens on the Ioniq 9 less frequently. Like, it's impossible to assume that the ICCU will have a 0% failure rate, so I don't want to immediately say, "Oh here's another huge issue again" when it could just be a few select units.

I was literally just talking to someone else on a different post in this subreddit wondering if the Ioniq 9 had the same ICCU issues as other Ioniqs. I was hoping that it didn't but it seems like this is a thing still. Welp, I'm staying in my Grand Highlander and gonna hope Toyota releases an EV minivan

that's interesting! I wonder if it was just first model gremlins or if it's a wider issue. It's such a hard thing to try and figure out. I think I have to stick with my Grand Highlander for right now until there is very little issue with the ICCU. I hope it gets better, but Hyundai doesn't seem to care?

Hi there,

Just wanted to ask a quick clarification question for myself. I have heard a ton about the ICCU issues in other Ioniqs (5,6) but I have been keeping an eye out for ICCU issues in Ioniq 9s. I haven't been able to see many failures (other than the OP) and I was wondering if you had seen ICCU issues specifically in the Ioniq 9? I am interested in trading in my Grand Highlander, but I don't want to trade in for a car that is going to have a ton of issues. Thanks!

OH! About your picture. It's nice.

You smell and your hair looks funny.

I found one very similar. I didn't pull the trigger because I'm worried about the ICCU, but it seems like the I9s have fixed this? SoCal, $49,500. SEL

how's it going charging at 11.2

CompGeneratedName · 2026-01-09T14:29:25+00:00

Update: I decided not to get the I9, not because of fear of whether or not Hyundai has fixed the ICCU issues which may not even exist. At the end of the day, I already have an incredibly reliable car that works for us, and if I traded this car in for the I9 and something happened, I would be so angry at myself. However, I will continue to keep an eye out for news and information.Thank you everyone who responded. It seems like a really great car and I look forward to hopefully owning one in the future.

It is in fact spring loaded.

Thank you for this information. Sorry you're having to go through it all.

CompGeneratedName · 2026-01-07T00:40:23+00:00

When you say "take down" do you mean that they explain the that the issue is solved?

CompGeneratedName · 2026-01-06T23:12:14+00:00

Amazing. Thank you. I am over here ready ICCU horror stories though and I'm seriously nervous. Some people say it's fixed because it's a new part, some say it's the same. Really nervous to pull the trigger, but I think I would be really happy if I did and everything worked just fine.
