New large Hyundai electric heading to Europe


This is the new Hyundai Ioniq 9, a 3-row large electric SUV on its way to Europe next year, writes Brian Byrne. The style will continue to change the visual image of Hyundai, with very clean slab-sided design similar to the latest Santa Fe and a distinctive rear treatment.

The car will have a rated driving range of up to 620km and there will be RWD and AWD versions.

The car will include in its high tech specification an option for the owner to upgrade to different features over the internet. In some markets the car can be set up to manage parking payment directly by the vehicle itself. Digital side mirrors will replace bulky mirrors with small cameras, the screens inside located close to the angle that mirrors would usually be looked at.

No date yet for arrival and no pricing, but look to Kia's EV9 for probable cost range.
