SEVEN will arrive in 2024 and it's like nothing we've seen before; it's the perfect post-pandemic family vehicle.
First presented at AutoMobility LA, the Hyundai Ioniq 7 is an all-electric SUV set to be released in 2024. EVs are becoming more and more popular every day, and major car manufacturers such as Hyundai are taking bold and important steps towards a greener future. The South Korean company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by the year 2045. With the Ioniq 7, Hyundai plans to take clean mobility, sustainability, and family time to a whole new level.
Most EVs have rather dull and uninspiring designs and are often just everyday cars with the exception of having a battery pack in them. However, that is not true about the Hyundai Ioniq 7. Much like the Ioniq 5, SEVEN has a unique design that will please even the most demanding of tastes. Hyundai has designed a stunning and futuristic interior for SEVEN, as well as a sleek and cool exterior. This car looks like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, and we are not complaining. Without further ado, let's talk about all the details we know about this magnificent family hauler so far.

Hyundai has a vision for the future and it can be summed up in one word: electric. Hyundais feature some of the best-in-class EV technology being based on the brand's E-GMP platform. In a real-life situation with a 350-kW charger, SEVEN will be capable of charging from 10 to 80 percent in around 20 minutes. This awesome concept SUV is also engineered to achieve a target range of over 300 miles.
SEVEN Concept has been designed for the new era of autonomous driving, the driver’s seat has a retractable Control Stick, unlike any we’ve seen so far on an SUV, which you can hide away when it’s not needed. Its lounge-like interior has been specifically designed to be customizable, whether in the autonomous mode or has a driver controlling it.
Hyundai Motor has focused on being eco-friendly with their design for SEVEN; applying bio-paint to its exterior and hygienically-recycled and renewable materials throughout the interior. Bamboo wood and carpet, mineral plaster, bio-resin, and interior paint are all based on renewable sources that can significantly reduce the pollution caused by the production process.

Another interesting and novel idea Hyundai has focused on for SEVEN is implementing hygienic features, such as Hygiene Airflow System and UVC Sterilization. With extensive use of copper and hygienically treated fabrics that ensure all surfaces inside it remain clean at all times, SEVEN is every germaphobe’s dream car.
SEVEN is a post-pandemic car, equipped with a Hygiene Airflow System which takes inspiration from passenger aircraft. The airtight control governs how the air flows inside the car, moves fresh air towards the passengers, and extracts the used air out as efficiently as possible. The Hyundai Ioniq 7 takes hygiene very seriously, even after the passengers leave the car, that is when the UVC Sterilization begins and cleans up the interior for the family’s next journey.
The interior of SEVEN is perhaps the most impressive aspect of the vehicle for it has a very bold Hyundai design. Hyundai Ioniq 7's motto is spending quality time with yourself or with family and enjoying the ride. SEVEN is much more than a vehicle that takes you from point A to point B, it is a comfy and clean cabin where you and your family can experience freedom and safety like never before. With SEVEN you are free to explore alternative layouts and enjoy your time together, or alone.
SEVEN provides you with cool options such as a Vision Roof Display that features a panoramic OLED screen, a built-in mini fridge providing cool refreshment on the go and Shoe-care Compartments that refresh the passengers’ footwear.The Smart Hub and Universal Island are significant parts of SEVEN Concept's design. Previously introduced in the amazing Ioniq 5, this moveable console has a 27-inch display that can instantly turn the Ioniq 7 into a personal workspace or even into a family theater.
