Hyundai Ioniq 7 – Expected Specs, Range, Features & More

Hyundai is planning to pre-pone the launch of its flagship 7-seat SUV, the Ioniq 7 for the second half of 2023 in contrast to 2024, which was the target earlier. The 3-row Hyundai Ioniq 7 will be the next prominent EV from the Korean carmaker after the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6. With production planned from 2023 onwards, local manufacturing in the USA is aimed to commence in 2025. The production version will be based on the company’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). The Ioniq 7 could be treated as the electric version of its popular Palisade large SUV.

Hyundai has been aiming for a range of over 300 miles (483 km) from this platform. To achieve that with such a large SUV, we expect the battery size to be at least 100 kWh. The Ioniq 5 puts out 320 hp and 605 Nm of power and torque in the 4WD version. We could expect something similar with the Ioniq 7 as well. However, what is confirmed is the fact that the charging capabilities of the Ioniq 7 will be similar to the Ioniq 5. This translates to an architecture that supports 350 kW DC fast charging enabling a 10-80% charging time of about 20 minutes. Also, to enhance the accessibility of the electric SUV, it might well be offered in both RWD and AWD variants.
