Hyundai Seven EV, concept form of Ioniq 7 SUV, to debut today: What to expect


Hyundai Seven Concept electric SUV is all set to make its official debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show later tonight. Hyundai has announced that it will be the third in the Ioniq family, which will follow the Ioniq 6. Both will join the Ioniq 5, which was launched earlier.
Hyundai Seven Concept electric SUV, or the Ioniq 7 as it would be called when production starts, will be a large SUV and will be able to accommodate seven occupants. Just like its electric siblings, the Seven electric concept SUV will be developed on the new Hyundai-Kia E-GMP platform, a modular and flexible architecture designed specifically for purely electric vehicles.
