Final Production May Stay Close to the SEVEN Concept That Blew Us Away

Much of the design (and many of the features) found in the new IONIQ 9, formerly known as the IONIQ 7, can be traced back to the SEVEN concept car by Hyundai. This single concept car took the world by storm with groundbreaking innovations in both design and technology.

When you imagine a “futuristic” car, you might conjure images of sharp, defining lines on a smooth body for a contemporary sculpt lined with pixelated LEDs. That’s the foundation of the SEVEN concept, plus more. Inside lies a lounge-like rear seating area that’s both spacious and sociable, and that idea was carried over to the IONIQ 9 in the form of 2nd-row swivel seats that can face 3rd-row passengers. Also making the final cut is the “Parametric Pixel” lighting feature across the front fascia for a stunning appearance.

The IONIQ 9 Will Be Dropping the E-GMP Platform, But That’s Not a Bad Thing

The one constant that has stayed true throughout the IONIQ’s lifespan is the E-GMP platform. Surprisingly enough, the new IONIQ 9 will be dropping this tradition in favor of an all-new electric platform. This ride is confirmed to offer single and dual-motor options to cater to every kind of driver, offering around 300 miles of range on a full charge. Those who go with the AWD platform for the IONIQ 9 will have around 379 horsepower and 433 lb.-ft. of torque to use at their disposal.

Next-Gen Innovations and High-End Luxury at a Reasonable Estimated Price

How much will it cost for this alternative take on 3-row luxury complete with an all-electric platform? Exact numbers are yet to be tabulated, but so far, the upcoming 2026 IONIQ 9 is likely to cost just a little over $50,000 which is much lower than what we would expect from a ride of this caliber.
