This huge Hyundai EV concept is hiding something important

 

Hyundai hides something important before the eyes. While Hyundai Seven Concept – launched today at La Auto Show 2021 – may be an expansive vision of what might look like an electric SUV with a luxury interior lounge, actually previews that are expected to cover three lines to join the IONIQ line.

 

The car shows automatically, not surprisingly, designed to attract attention. The concept of giving car makers the opportunity to experiment with design and technology that is almost ready for their production colleagues, although sometimes the vehicle that will end up in the showroom is much easier to see through glitter.

 

Seven concepts are one example. Of course, the car show is “a large sports electric vehicle (SUEV)” in terms of Hyundai, deviating from traditional SUV design languages ​​and stylish setup cues and vice versa focusing on aerodynamics and maximizing internal volume. Which allows Hyundai to fill wheelbase 10+ feet with the lounge-esque cabin complete with swivel chairs and moving footwear.

 

There is a pillarless coach door to make climbing in easier – and, easily, makes showing it at a easier stage, also – and a large glass roof, along with a panoramic screen that is built which can show streaming media or graphics such as a soothing screensaver. Hyundai then throws in a mini refrigerator, “shoe-care compartment” promised to “refresh the passenger footwear,” and the center island modeled in a luxurious kitchen. Not surprisingly, Hyundai also talks about the potential of autonomous driving, leaving them enabled to focus on playing with technology rather than related to the road.

 

Look outside it, and the reality of what teases Hyundai is far more descending to the earth – although it is no doubt even more important. Seven concepts are preview from what car makers can do on the E-GMP, the global electric modular platform developed specifically for EV. More specifically, this is a vision of the three-line model in the future, seven-seat electricity.

 

It was not difficult to imagine that slotting on top of Ioniq 5, the five-seat electric hatchback announced by Hyundai in February. A Hyundai Ioniq 7, because the SUV can be labeled, it will handle the market that is still not served among EV. Even though there are some fair options if you need to sit five, your short list gets much shorter if you need two additional seats.

 

Hyundai, of course, becomes a coy about the purpose of production, and it is clear that “seven is a concept vehicle, and the specifications should not be considered as a coming production model.” That means your SUV version maybe one day can buy it would not certainly support the same 350 kW charging with the concept – enough to take EV from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes. It also won’t reach 300+ miles of the seven targeted range concepts.

 

Such a careful position is par for courses for high profile concepts, but it is difficult to imagine Hyundai not playing at least the core element of this evething into something destined for the showroom. Stripped the interior’s excess, a thin room of the cabin can provide a significant advantage compared to the three-line gas-powered SUV – hopefully it also maintains the recycling system, antibacterial, and air filtration system, even if it loses the Joystick controller that supports a more traditional wheel wheel.
