A new three-row electric SUV is about to hit the US market. Hyundai\u2019s<\/a> larger IONIQ 9 will finally show its face in November as testing and final quality inspections conclude.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost three years since Hyundai unveiled its first three-row electric SUV concept. The concept, called SEVEN<\/a>, is now expected to go by the IONIQ 9.<\/p>\n

With the number \u201c9,\u201d the new electric SUV is expected to hold a bigger role as Hyundai flaghip model. In the US, Hyundai offers the IONIQ 5<\/a>, IONIQ 6, and Kona Electric, but a larger electric SUV could help it gain even more market share.<\/p>\n

Like Hyundai\u2019s other dedicated IONIQ models, the SUV will ride on its E-GMP platform. The EV platform already underpins Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis models, offering long-range capabilities (360 miles range), fast charging (10% to 80% in 18 mins), and plenty of interior space.<\/p>\n

Leading up to its debut, the IONIQ 9 has been spotted out testing in public several times. Most recently, it was caught driving in California<\/a> ahead of its US launch (you can see that video below).<\/p>\n

Hyundai\u2019s larger IONIQ 9 to debut in November<\/h2>\n

According to industry sources on August 12, Hyundai plans to unveil the IONIQ 9 at the LA Auto Show in November.<\/p>\n

Since March, Hyundai has been test-producing IONIQ 9 models at its Asan Plant in Korea. The company is currently conducting final quality inspections.<\/p>\n

The timing coincides with the completion of Hyundai\u2019s US Metaplant in Georgia. Hyundai is expected to produce the electric SUV at the new plant to qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit.<\/p>\n

Hyundai has already said the updated IONIQ 5<\/a> will be the first vehicle to roll off assembly at the facility, but adding IONIQ 9 production would make sense.<\/p>\n
