Hyundai Motor to debut IONIQ 7 concept in November LA auto show

Hyundai Motor Co. on Thursday revealed teaser images of SEVEN, an all-electric SUV concept that would be the IONIQ 7, its first large-size SUV under its standalone electric vehicle sub-brand.

The top South Korean automaker plans to debut SEVEN at the AutoMobility trade show in Los Angeles on Nov. 17.

Hyundai said it will officially launch the IONIQ 7 SUV in 2024, following its launch in February this year of the IONIQ 5, a crossover utility vehicle (CUV), and the IONIQ 6, a mid-size sedan due out in the first half of next year.

The three models sit on Hyundai Motor Group’s self-developed EV platform, the Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which will underpin all forthcoming electric cars from both Hyundai and sister firm Kia Corp.

According to the teaser, the parametric pixel design that represents the design identity of the IONIQ brand has been applied to the headlamps.

Its interior gives premium feels with wood materials and fabric sheets.

Hyundai Motor Group has said it will introduce 23 fully electric models and sell 1 million units a year globally by 2025.
