The model introduced {that a} three-row seven-seater will be a part of the road of electrical Ioniq fashions earlier than the tip of 2024.
That is all Hyundai has given us thus far: there is a new EV popping out by the tip of the 12 months. Whereas that is pure hypothesis, there is a good probability that the corporate is referring to the manufacturing model of the Seven Idea (pictured) offered on the 2021 Los Angeles auto present. We’re anticipating that the outside styling has modified considerably over the previous three years; the design examine was extremely futuristic.
Inside, the crossover will get a whole make-over. Nothing suggests the idea’s residing room-like inside, which featured a curved, sofa-like rear bench seat and a pair of swiveling entrance seats, will attain manufacturing. The seating format will likely be nearer to the Palisade’s, with area for 2 passengers up entrance, three within the center, and two within the again, however the cabin will stay tech-heavy with a number of display screen area.
What probably will not change is the structure.

The structure can accommodate a number of totally different drivetrain layouts: front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive. Hyundai hasn’t launched technical particulars, however the EV9 is on the market with both rear- or all-wheel-drive — the three-row Ioniq (which is perhaps known as Ioniq 7) might supply each, too.
Extra particulars about Hyundai’s greatest Ioniq mannequin will emerge within the coming months, and an unveiling is deliberate for later in 2024. It is not too far-fetched to invest we might see it within the metallic for the primary time on the 2024 version of the Los Angeles present. The EV will go on sale shortly after its debut as a 2025 mannequin. As for the present Palisade, it is coming into its final mannequin 12 months in the marketplace with out important modifications.
