It was initially called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hyundai.com\/worldwide\/en\/brand-journal\/ioniq\/introducing-the-seven-concept\">SEVEN concept<\/a>, indicating it would join Hyundai\u2019s lineup as the IONIQ 7.<\/p>\n<p>However, earlier this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autonews.com\/cars-concepts\/name-change-hyundai-ioniq-7-become-ioniq-9\">reports surfaced<\/a> that Hyundai planned to call it the IONIQ 9. The name change is more than a number. As the number \u201c9,\u201d the new electric SUV is expected to be Hyundai\u2019s new flagship model.<\/p>\n<p>Although the IONIQ 9 was expected to launch this summer at the Busan Motor Show, Hyundai is now looking toward the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>New reports from South Korea claim Hyundai is still testing the electric SUV. Hyundai wants to ensure the model is perfect before it hits the market.<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to its debut, Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 9 has been spotted several times testing in public. In April, we got a good look at the big-bodied electric SUV after it was <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2024\/04\/09\/hyundai-ioniq-9-three-row-ev-set-debut-us-sighting\/\">caught testing<\/a> in California. You can see from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ppVf9xHWm_k\">the video<\/a> the IONIQ 9 is much bigger than Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" title=\"2025 Hyundai Ioniq 9 First road video new Electric 3 Row SUV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ppVf9xHWm_k?feature=oembed&amp;rel=0&amp;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe>\n<\/p><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hyundai IONIQ 9 testing in the US<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Last August, the IONIQ 9 was <a href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2023\/08\/23\/hyundais-three-row-ioniq-7-spotted-compared-kia-ev9\/\">spotted next to Kia\u2019s EV9<\/a>.
