Hyundai is about to launch the Ioniq 9, a three-row electric SUV, which is the production version of the Seven concept, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in the United States.

In a recent teaser, the brand showed a sketch of the Ioniq 9’s interior, which stands out for its lounge-style design, offering an alternative to the gasoline-powered Palisade and competing with the Kia EV9, which was launched earlier.
The Ioniq 9 keeps features from the 2021 Seven concept and will be built on the same E-GMP platform used in other Hyundai electric models and Kia’s EV6 and EV9. This suggests the new SUV could come with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and a range from 370 km to up to 489 km, depending on the configuration. Power is expected to vary between 201 horsepower in the base version and up to 379 horsepower in the dual-motor versions.
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is expected to hit the U.S. market in 2025, with an estimated price around $50,000. The debut at the Los Angeles event gives a preview of the expectations for the new model, which is expected to position itself as a competitive option in the growing market for three-row electric SUVs.
