NEXT STAGE: New in 2025

The electric three-row kid hauler is based on Hyundai’s Seven concept, which debuted at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, and follows the three-row EV9 from Kia, on sale this year. The Ioniq 7 is differentiated with a more fastback roofline.

It rides on Hyundai’s E-GMP architecture and shares the EV9’s powertrain. Rear- and all-wheel-drive configurations are expected, along with single- and dual-motor setups. Standard-range models may use a 76.1-kilowatt-hour battery, while long-range models could carry a 99.8-kWh pack. The long-range Ioniq 7 equipped with rear-wheel drive will likely deliver up to 300 miles of range.

It could start production in Korea in the first half of 2024 and be added to the Metaplant roster in 2025. U.S. sales are expected to start mid-2025.
