Lastly, while a 6-seater version of the Kia EV9 with swiveling 2nd row seats does exist, we’d like to note that only the 7-seater version of the EV9 is coming to the US. However, based on the similarity in size and design to the Kia Telluride, we estimate that the Kia EV9 will have up to 20 cubic feet of cargo capacity when all seats are occupied, and up to 82 cubic feet of cargo space when the 2nd and 3rd row seats are folded. According to Kia, the EV9 has “ample cargo capacity”, which doesn’t help us generate any numbers. Like the IONIQ 7, the Kia EV9 exterior trends towards large and blocky, which honestly bodes well for interior cargo space. ![]() This charging rate comes from the 800V charging architecture that the EV9 shares with its sibling, Hyundai’s IONIQ 7 (the two share the same base powertrain and electrical design, the E-GMP platform). Kia claims the 10%-80% charge time should be as short as 24 minutes at a DC fast charger. Our next 7 seater EV SUV is the Kia EV9, a full-sized electric SUV that can tow up to 5000 lbs. Reservations for the EX90 are currently open, though customization options aren’t available until your reservation comes up in the build queue. Volvo expects to be able to begin delivery of the EX90 in late Q3 of 2024. And, of course, the EX90 is the only one of the two to include a third-row seat. ![]() While the Polestar 3 is tuned for faster acceleration, the EX90 maximizes its power with a towing capacity of 4,850 lbs (over 1,000 lbs more than the Polestar 3). Volvo built the EX90 on the same platform as the Polestar 3, with a 400V electrical architecture capable of a 10%-80% recharge in about 30 minutes (with a 250 kWh connection). This added space comes with a price: the Volvo EX90 is expected to have a price tag of about $80,000. However, unlike the Model Y, the third-row seating of the EX90 is designed for adult-sized passengers. The 2024 Volvo EX90 electric SUV is the only EV SUV on our list that mimics the sleek, minimalist-modern interior design of Tesla Model Y. ![]() Regardless of who’s watching, though, Hyundai plans to integrate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into the IONIQ 7’s infotainment experience. The IONIQ 7 should have the latest and greatest in infotainment technology, but we don’t yet know which seats will have enough access to these systems to comment on how family-oriented they are. Speculation says the interior design of the IONIQ 7 will likely be similar to the Hyundai Palisade in style and in cargo capacity (for the 7 seat Palisade, maximum cargo capacity with all seats folded is 86 cu ft with all seats up and full passenger load, 18 cu ft). Prototype sightings also seem to confirm that the IONIQ 7 won’t have the fancy coach-style doors that it had in its concept renderings, instead opting for the traditional middle pillar door setup.Īs for the IONIQ 7’s conceptually modern, lounge-like interior, well…we will likely see something much more practical and commonplace in the market-ready release. The final exterior details of the IONIQ 7 haven’t been revealed yet, but past iterations of the design and reports of real-world prototype sightings indicate that the exterior will definitely be on the boxy side with curves to soften the edges. Charging speeds will likely be similar to the IONIQ 6, with a possible charge from 10%-80% in under 18 minutes (assuming the use of a 350kWh DC fast charger, of course). With an estimated range of around 300 miles and an estimated MSRP of $50,000, the IONIQ 7 will be a direct market competitor for the 7 seater Tesla Model Y. Hyundai plans to bring the IONIQ 7 to the market for 2024. This three-row, 7 seat EV SUV from Hyundai has gone from a concept unveiling in the 2021 LA Auto Show all the way to the real-world test phase in the summer of 2023. * denotes estimates, not finalized manufacturer’s claims Today, we’re going to look at four upcoming 7-seater EVs in 2024: 1) Hyundai IONIQ 7 SUV Make/Model In a previous blog post, we looked at all the 7 seater EV options available in 2023. Fortunately, we’ve done the digging for you. In other words, trying to find 7 seater EVs in the USA can be like digging for the proverbial needle in a haystack. As a result, the information on electric vehicles with more than 5 seats is often lacking advertisers are still trying to catch up with all the new release info. Unfortunately, EV manufacturers have overwhelmingly catered to 5 seater options until recently. ![]() Hyundai, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and others are scrambling to introduce 7 seat EV options in the US, and we are seeing glimpses of even higher capacity electric vehicles on the horizon. Tesla’s Model X and Model Y may have dominated the 7-seater market for electric vehicles over the last several years, but more manufacturers are starting to see the need for higher capacity EVs in today’s market.
