Hyundai announced that it will launch its first three-row electric SUV later this year, possibly named the Ioniq 7 or Ioniq 9.
Although Hyundai has not given many details about the new SUV, it is expected to share characteristics with other electric models from the company and their equivalents, such as the Kia EV9. Using the same E-GMP platform suggests they will have similar batteries and powertrains.
The Ioniq 7 concept, displayed at the Los Angeles Auto Show in 2021, offers clues about the final model’s design, which is expected to retain elements such as pixel lighting and the integrated hood emblem, while more conceptual aspects, like the glass tailgate, will be replaced by more traditional options.
The definitive name of Hyundai’s three-row electric SUV is still unknown, although the names Ioniq 7 and Ioniq 9 are the most speculated. As the launch date approaches, more information will be released, clarifying what to expect from this new model.
