Hyundai is giving us a glance at its upcoming Ioniq 9 all-electric, three-row SUV ahead of its world premiere in November.

The company says the vehicle will mark a new milestone in its commitment to electrification.

“The ‘9’ in Ioniq 9 symbolizes the large vehicle class in Hyundai Motor’s Ioniq lineup, marking the company’s inaugural venture into the realm of large SUV EV models,” the automaker said in a news release. “Building on the momentum generated by Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9 is set to redefine the EV experience, boasting a spacious and comfortable interior thanks to Hyundai Motor Group’s acclaimed Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP).”

Hyundai calls the SUV’s design “aerosthetic,” meaning it blends aerodynamic performance and aesthetic appeal. The model is inspired by the sleek exteriors and spacious, cozy interiors of boats, and the model is said to have ample space for all passengers, including those in the third row.

The company intends to achieve global sales of two million EVs by 2030.
