IONIQ: Dedicated BEV brand embodying Hyundai’s future mobility vision
Every vehicle developed for the IONIQ brand offers a next generation customer experience that seamlessly integrates the most advanced technologies into everyday life settings. SEVEN concept is the perfect example of IONIQ, with its space innovation and hygienic features transforming the vehicle as an innovative living space on wheels.
Redefining SUV with aerodynamically pure exterior and powerful presence
SEVEN concept is built upon Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), a dedicated BEV architecture. SEVEN has an aerodynamically pure silhouette instinctively divergent from a typical SUV. The low, leading edge of the hood, a single, streamlined roofline, and elongated wheelbase communicate a clear break from traditional SUVs powered by internal combustion engines.
A sustainable and hygienic mobility environment
Hyundai Motor has focused on developing vehicles to always ensure a safe and healthy travel experience. SEVEN uses various eco-friendly materials while offering segment-leading hygienic features, such as Hygiene Airflow System and UVC Sterilisation. UVC Sterilisation activates once the vehicle is vacated of its passengers. The control stick, first-row storage drawer, and speakers pop up. Then, integrated sanitising UVC lights help clean the living space of bacteria and viruses. In addition, there are sanitising storage compartments in the bench and Smart Hub console for personal belongings.
A welcoming, premium lounge style interior for the autonomous driving era
SEVEN’s interior design priority lies in space innovation offering greater freedom for our customers than ever before. SEVEN’s wheelbase reaches 3.2 meters, thanks to its design cue to push the wheels outward to extend the wheelbase as much as possible.
The flat floor allows Hyundai Motor to explore an alternative to the traditional row-based seat arrangements, creating a more fluid interior layout. The Pillarless Coach Doors offer a grand entrance to reveal a welcoming interior with a completely new dimension of space. The streamlined roofline, long wheelbase, and flat floor that extends to the third row opens new opportunities to furnish the interior like a premium lounge.
Powerful Performance with an all-electric range target of over 480kms
Thanks to its versatile E-GMP platform, SEVEN will be able to provide outstanding driving range and ultra-fast charging capabilities, delivering a driving experience tailored to customer’s needs. In a real-world situation with a 350-kW charger, SEVEN is capable of charging from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 20 minutes. The concept is also engineered to achieve a target range of over 480kms.
* Note: SEVEN is a concept vehicle, and its specifications should not be considered as those of an upcoming production model.
