Hyundai teases next two members of Ioniq family: Ioniq 6 concept, Ioniq 7 SUV
After fully unveiling the Ioniq 5 all-electric vehicle, Hyundai is gearing up to take the electric charge forward with the next two members of its Ioniq family. The auto company recently teased the Ioniq 6 concept sedan and Ioniq 7 large SUV on its social media, shortly after detailing its carbon neutrality plans.
Hyundai plans to stop selling the internal combustion engine-powered vehicles by 2035, and the Ioniq 6 and Ioniq 7 are the next two upcoming battery-powered weapons in its arsenal. The company has already confirmed that the former will enter the market in 2022 while the latter will be introduced in 2024.

The image of the Ioniq 6 concept car in the teaser image looks unchanged from the Hyundai Prophecy concept car and will be based on it.

The side profile of the Ioniq 7 SUV has been showcased for the first time and its silhouette appears to have a rounded bonnet and a sweeping roofline. The wheel arches appear to be in square-like shape and have large diameter rims. Hyundai has previously teased Ioniq 7's front look where the SUV looks boxy with a grille-less look. It features a full-width horizontal LED bar and vertical LED units on the bumper.
