The big day is finally within reach. By the end of this month, Hyundai’s highly anticipated first three-row electric SUV is set to make its debut. Hyundai has unveiled its latest teaser for the IONIQ 9, offering a closer look at the innovative vehicle as it prepares to make its public debut around the corner. The brand unveils its innovative Tesla Cybertruck-inspired LED light bar in a debut video. Test it out under.
Here is the rewritten text in a different style:
Hyundai’s SEVEN concept first debuted at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, marking a pivotal moment for the brand three years ago. While the initial buzz surrounding the powerful electric SUV has died down, recent developments have brought it back into focus.
In August, Hyundai officially confirmed that its upcoming electric SUV would be dubbed the IONIQ 5 upon its market debut. The renaming of the previously anticipated IONIQ 7 (SEVEN) to simply “IONIQ 9” underscores its status as Hyundai’s new premium electric vehicle model.
The all-new electric SUV is expected to follow in the footsteps of the popular IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 models, built around its advanced E-GMP dedicated electric vehicle platform.
Just days ago, Hyundai provided the first glimpse of its latest model, revealing its sleek profile.

Hyundai claims its IONIQ 9 marks a “significant milestone” in the brand’s shift towards large SUV electric vehicles. Design cues are drawn from luxurious boat interiors, featuring sleek exteriors and expansive, comfortable interior spaces. The vehicle’s extended wheelbase and curved roofline provide ample room for all passengers, including those seated in the third row.
The sleek and modern LED strip is showcased prominently in its latest teaser. The design of this new electric pickup truck bears an uncanny resemblance to Tesla’s pioneering Cybertruck. When driving, it’s impossible to ignore a road sign, even if you’ve never seen one before.

As Hyundai’s highly anticipated IONIQ 9 approaches its official unveiling, the vehicle has been spotted undergoing rigorous testing in a variety of public settings. Last week, we conducted a thorough examination of the design that gained attention in California.
Although official specifications have yet to be announced, the IONIQ 9 is expected to rival the Kia EV9 in terms of size. The EV9 measures 197.2 inches in length, 77.9 inches in width, 70.1 inches in height, and features a 122-inch wheelbase, comparable to the Kia Telluride’s dimensions. Notwithstanding, the EV9 boasts a whopping 42 inches of rear legroom, eclipsing even the iconic Cadillac Escalade in this regard.
Kia’s flagship electric vehicle, the EV9, launches with a starting price of around $55,000; its sibling, the IONIQ 5, is expected to debut at a similar or slightly higher price point.
The Hyundai IONIQ 9 is expected to roll off the production line at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in Georgia, mirroring the modern design and engineering of the 2025 IONIQ 5. Hyundai announced that its US-manufactured electric vehicles (EVs) are eligible for a prorated $3,750 tax credit, while also offering the full $7,500 incentive through leasing arrangements. Upon the battery portion opening subsequently next year, Hyundai anticipates that its US-manufactured electric vehicles will become eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
Hyundai unveiled its 2025 IONIQ 5 on Friday, priced from $43,975, with a range of enhancements and additional features compared to the current model. With its sleek, modern design and integrated NACS charging port, owners gain seamless access to Tesla’s vast network of Superchargers, unlocking unparalleled convenience and range.
Hyundai is expected to unveil its latest offerings at the LA Auto Show starting November 22, 2024. As remaining details continue to emerge right up until the final day.
