If the IONIQ 5 isn’t big enough, Hyundai is preparing to introduce the IONIQ 7, intended to fill the gap between the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9.
What we know about the Hyundai IONIQ 7
While the IONIQ 9 was intended to take the spot, initially called the “SEVEN” Concept, Hyundai decided the three-row SUV was a better fit as a flagship model, like the Kia EV9.
Hyundai offers the IONIQ 5, which is about the size of a Tesla Model Y, and then there’s the three-row EV9, but what if you wanted something in between?
You will soon have the option. Hyundai is launching two new electric SUVs as it expands into new segments. According express carThey will go on sale as IONIQ 7 and IONIQ 4. One will be located below the IONIQ 5 and the other will be an intermediate option, located below the IONIQ 9.
The IONIQ 7 is expected to be closer in size to the IONIQ 5, but with a more traditional boxy SUV design.
It will be more of a family vehicle with two- and three-row seating options. The IONIQ 7 is also expected to offer single- and dual-motor powertrains.
Although Hyundai hasn’t confirmed any details yet, the IONIQ 7 will likely offer a WLTP range of at least 400 miles. It will also likely use an 800V architecture, like the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9, for fast charging.
Since the IONIQ 5 measures 183.3″ long, 74.4″ wide and 63″ tall, with a 118.1″ wheelbase, the IONIQ 7 will be slightly larger, but with a more traditional SUV profile.
It’s hard to imagine Hyundai not equipping it with its new Pleos Connect infotainment system, which made its European debut in the IONIQ 3. In the U.S., the new 2027 Tucson is Hyundai’s first vehicle with the new setup.
The IONIQ 4 is also on the way
The IONIQ 4, for its part, will be a B-segment SUV, twin of the Kia EV3. It will be located between the IONIQ 3 and the IONIQ 5, with a more traditional SUV design.
Like the IONIQ 7, it will feature Hyundai’s Pleos infotainment system. The IONIQ 4 will be available with similar battery options as the IONIQ 3.
Hyundai offers the IONIQ 3 with two battery packs: 42 kWh and 61 kWh, which provide WLTP ranges of up to 214 miles and 308 miles, respectively.
When it arrives, the Hyundai IONIQ 4 will likely start at around £25,000 ($33,000) in the UK, or a little more than the IONIQ 3.
While those in the US will likely miss out on the IONIQ 4, given that Kia just launched the EV3 (see our review), there are hopes that Hyundai will bring the IONIQ 7 stateside as a bigger brother to the IONIQ 5.
In the US, the IONIQ 5 uses a 63 kWh or 84 kWh battery, providing an EPA range of up to 245 miles and 318 miles.
The 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 5 starts at $35,250, so the IONIQ 7 would likely cost a little more, between $40,000 and $45,000.
We should know more soon, as both are set to launch in the next 12 to 18 months. Check back soon for updates.
