Hyundai teases all-new 7-seat Ioniq 9 interior

Hyundai has released a teaser image of the interior its new seven-seat electric SUV, the Ioniq 9.

The sketch follows a previous teaser image showing the profile of the new car, and promises "the ultimate lounge-like environment" according to Simon Loasby, the senior vice president and head of the Hyundai Design Center. "Soft, elliptical design elements contribute to a serene and sophisticated atmosphere" according to Hyundai, but we'll have to wait to see what that looks like in real life.

We know the Ioniq 9 will share its mechanical underpinnings with the excellent Kia EV9, which is very promising. However, Hyundai's car looks to be sleeker, with less blocky styling.

We can expect pixel-style lighting, as per the Ioniq 5, and lots of interior space. The interior technology is likely to owe a lot to Hyundai's existing seven-seater, the Santa Fe – we'd expect the dual-screen infotainment setup to be lifted wholesale.

We'll update this article when more information about the new Hyundai Ioniq 9 is revealed in Los Angeles later in November.
