When it comes to cars Hyundai Kia and Genesis, Yippee KoreanCarBlog (KCB) always a good resource. We have now discovered a rendering of the model on the website Hyundai ioniq 7, which comes from NYMammoth. The collaborators also released some prototype images of the cockpit.
Pictures of the prototype exterior Hyundai ioniq 7 were already available in June. In the new pictures from November, the front lights were already quite visible. We can see there vertical LED daytime running lights on the left and right sides and the beginnings of the headlights. But white prototype (photographed by GabetzSpyUnit) shown above video and on which the rendering is based shows the appearance even better. The horizontal line is also visible on it LED light strip on the front, which the 2021 study already had.
ionic 7 will be based on a known platform E GMP and will be related to the model Let's EV9 and the upcoming model Genesis GV90, although not much is known about the latter. ionic 7 will probably be launched soon - by the end of 2023 or early 2024. It will hit the market in 2024, which is Hyundai already officially confirmed.
Because the study is supposed to have wheelbase 3,20 meters, while Let's EV9 measures only 3,10 meters, is assumed to be Hyundai's rookie longer than 5,01 meter long EV9. While the EV9 stops at 100 kWh battery capacity and range 541 km, supposed to ionic 7 thanks to the improved energy density, stored more energy and traveled up to on a single charge 640 km, according to KCB.

KCB has also already released two photos of the camouflaged interior, which are included in the following video in English. You can see a steering wheel that is supposed to be similar to the one in Santa Fe. It has different buttons and paddles on the left and right sides recovery setting (see from 5:45). There is a camera behind the wheel to ensure that the person behind the wheel is looking at the road.
Thick rotary knob on the right is probably only in prototypes; supposedly used for activating and deactivating the system. Driving mode P, N, R and D probably activated by the on switch center console. In the last part a large SUV it will offer up to seven seats in three rows, just like the EV9.
V video (at about 4:15) the last part of z is also shown open rear window. You Hyundai apparently staying true to the design of the concept vehicle. The rear part obviously descends vertically.
