Despite the test mule being heavily camouflaged, some visual elements were visible. These include an upright bonnet, slim LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), and vertically stacked LED headlamps mounted on the front bumper. Other notable exterior attributes include roof rails, a blacked-out roof, flared wheel arches, body-coloured Outside Rear View Mirrors (ORVMs) integrated with turn indicators, and an elongated roofline that blends into the rear profile. The rear section also looked like it featured vertical LED taillights. The Ioniq 7 could also incorporate flush door handles, aligned with the contemporary theme seen across the brand’s electric vehicles.
Beneath its skin, the Ioniq 7 shares its e-GMP electric platform with its siblings, the Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and the Kia EV9. In terms of its powertrain, it is likely to mirror the EV9. The base model might feature a 76.1 kWh battery pack paired with a rear-mounted motor generating around 350 Nm of torque. Hyundai may also introduce a long-range variant equipped with a larger 99.8 kWh battery unit.

The Ioniq 7 is expected to globally debut by 2024. While there has been no official confirmation from the brand, it is possible that it might bring the electric SUV to Indian shores, as it already sells the Ioniq 5 here, which has seen some success.
