Hyundai’s upcoming three-row EV reportedly gets a new name; launch delayed

ABU DHABI: Hyundai delays the launch of its new three-row electric SUV, originally scheduled for debut in the summer. Prospective buyers waiting for the flagship vehicle will now have to wait until early 2025 when it arrives in dealerships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What new name has Hyundai’s new three-row electric SUV acquired?

    As per the reports, Hyundai’s new three-row electric SUV has now been renamed as the IONIQ 9.
  • When will Hyundai's new three-row electric SUV be released?

    Originally slated for summer, Hyundai's new three-row electric SUV is now expected to launch in early 2025.
  • Hyundai’s upcoming three-row SUV, initially named the Ioniq 7, will now adopt the Ioniq 9 moniker for its production launch. The name change to IONIQ 9 has been reported by the Korean Car Blog. 

     IONIQ 9

    The IONIQ 9’s pricing strategy was confirmed indirectly by HMCA (Hyundai Motor Company Australia) COO John Kett, positioning it in Hyundai's SUV lineup as the flagship. The release timeframe of the IONIQ 9 will be similar to the smaller Inster electric SUV which is available at under $40,000 price tag. The pricing of the IONIQ 9 contrasts sharply as it is expected to be the most expensive model in the brand’s lineup.

     IONIQ 9

    The Hyundai IONIQ 9 will utilize the E-GMP EV architecture similar to the previous Ioniq models. Hyundai has not confirmed specific powertrain details but it is anticipated that it will have setups similar to the Kia EV9.

    By the end of the decade, Hyundai plans to come up with around twelve EV models, utilizing a next-generation platform that will feature standardized motors and batteries.
