Hyundai previews two new IONIQ EVs in cryptic video

Two new Hyundai IONIQ electric vehicles? In a cryptic teaser, Hyundai offered the first look at “the new journey of IONIQ.”

Hyundai hints at new IONIQ Venus and Earth EVs

After unveiling the Boulder Concept at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday, Hyundai quietly previewed two new IONIQ EV models.

In a series of cryptic images and videos, Hyundai offered a sneak peek at the Earth and Venus. While it didn’t specify which one was which, the teaser shows what appears to be a new look for Hyundai’s upcoming IONIQ models.

In the video posted on its Korean social media account, Hyundai’s caption read, “An overwhelming presence that imprints at first glance. The new journey of IONIQ begins.”

Hyundai followed it up with two images previewing the new IONIQ EVs. Although it’s just the front end, one appears to be a sporty sedan or coupe that looks similar to Kia’s Vision Meta Turismo concept car with slim LED headlights rather than the Pixel lighting that’s a signature on Hyundai’s other IONIQ models like the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 9.

While it’s hard to tell from the teaser, the other model looks like a smaller crossover, again with slim, more aggressive-looking taillights.

We should learn more soon. On Hyundai’s Chinese joint venture’s website, Beijing-Hyundai has a countdown for the “IONIQ Brand Launch Event” set for April 10. Check back for the full reveal.

Hyundai will unveil the IONIQ 3 at Milan Design Week later this month, its new entry-level electric hatch. Are the Earth and Venus next to join the IONIQ lineup? We’ll find out on April 10.
