Hyundai Teases SEVEN Concept That Will Lead To 2024 Ioniq 7 Full-Size Electric SUV

Hyundai is charging ahead with its electric plans announcing a new concept named SEVEN that will make its world premiere at this month’s AutoMobility LA show on November 17.

If you haven’t figured it out already, the SEVEN will serve as a preview to the production Ioniq 7 electric SUV, which according to a previous announcement from Hyundai, will arrive in the market in early 2024 offering a similar footprint to the Palisade in both six- and seven seat configurations.

The Korean company was coy about any details surrounding the concept, limiting information to some exterior design choices such as the lighting architecture that’s a combination of what we’ve seen on the Ioniq 5 and the Staria van, and the lounge-ambience and use of eco-friendly materials inside.

“The teased images reveal a form following function design that dares to diverge from traditions of the internal combustion engine era. SEVEN’s lighting architecture is defined by Parametric Pixels, IONIQ’s unique design identity connecting analog with digital emotion,” said Hyundai.

“[The] SEVEN’s interior suggests a premium and personalized lounge ambience, deepening the space innovation that Hyundai Motor has shown with IONIQ 5. Furnishings trimmed in sustainable materials offer a refined, eco-friendly mobility experience that reflects the changing lifestyles of its customers,” the company added.

CarScoops’ artist, Josh Byrnes, recently tried to speculate on the Ioniq 7’s appearance based on some shadowy teasers released in September, but we’ll revisit the electric SUV after we see the concept at the LA Auto Show.

Plenty Of Power And Fast Charging For The Ioniq 7

While it remains to be seen what the study will bring forth, Hyundai has previously confirmed that all Ioniq models will ride on their E-GMP platform and that the 7 will use the new SK Innovation batteries with a capacity of 100 kWh and 800-volt technology, offering a range of more than 300 miles (483 km) range and fast charging with a 10-80 percent recharge taking around 18 minutes. It will also offer an all-wheel drive version employ a dual-motor setup with a combined output of 308 hp (230 kW / 313 PS). We wouldn’t be surprised if Hyundai comes out with even more powerful options at a later stage.
