ALL NEW 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 7 STUNS The Entire EV Industry

Hyundai considers the 2024 Ioniq Seven concept a living space on wheels, which is exactly what the all-electric SUV looks like. Said to be similar in size to the three-row Hyundai Palisade, the Seven rides on the company's new cross-brand E-GMP platform, which will underpin the Ioniq 5 and many other upcoming Hyundai and Kia EV models. With a futuristic façade that includes unusual lighting elements, shape-shifting wheels, and glass panels on the roof and rear, the Seven concept is just that: a concept. However, it teases design language and technology that could eventually become reality. While its enormous coach doors and furniture-like seats are other fantastical features, the idea of a vast interior with flexible configurations is conceivable. The 2024 Ioniq Seven targets a range of over 300 miles and exceptionally quick charging times.

While the Ioniq Seven concept still appears to be a long way away from production, we expect Hyundai to use the nameplate on a large all-electric SUV with seating for up to seven or eight. With the brand planning to roll out three new EVs—including the already revealed Ioniq 5—over the next few years, we're not sure when the Seven will be available to the public. At the earliest, we think it'll be a 2024 model. Hyundai hasn't said anything about how much the Ioniq Seven will cost or what trim levels will be offered, but we expect it to be offered in a lineup similar to the smaller Ioniq 5 with SE, SEL, and Limited models. With electric vehicles expected to become more prevalent over the next couple of years, we wouldn't be surprised if their cost gets a lot closer to their similarly-sized, gas-powered counterparts. That suggests the 2024 Ioniq Seven could start at around $50k, which is currently the top-end of the Palisade lineup. While we're not sure what size battery will power the Ioniq Seven, we expect it to have a sizable useable capacity because Hyundai is targeting a driving range that exceeds 300 miles. Hooked up to a 350-kW fast-charger, the Seven's battery can allegedly be charged from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes. The Ioniq Seven concept showcases the immense interior space that's possible when the body of a three-row SUV is combined with a completely flat floor. Hyundai makes the most of the collaboration by trading traditional rows of seats for flexible configurations that can create a lounge-like experience. A set of huge coach doors that open from the middle out promise an SUV that's super easy to get in and out of—even if parking in tight spots becomes more difficult. Then again, details like the doors may not make it onto the production model. The Ioniq Seven concept also trades a conventional steering wheel for what's described as a "retractable control stick" that sounds weirder than Telsa's yoke-style helm. You can bet that won’t be in the production version. The concept also boasts a built-in mini refrigerator and compartments to, uh, "refresh passenger's footwear." However, the showpiece is its OLED screen that doubles as a panoramic roof. It can display user-requested content or change the interior atmosphere to something relaxing. Hyundai's concept of space innovation is likely to be unparalleled, unless the others follow suit. Hyundai's clearly ambitious about this one, in the same way it has been with its previous EVs. The goal is to comfort the customers the moment they step in. The wheels have been pushed out as far as possible, giving Hyundai the room to extend the SUV's wheelbase, which is said to be class-leading at 126-inches
