According to preliminary data, the new products will be named Ioniq T10 and Ioniq T7. It is expected that the line of the Korean brand will be expanded over the next two years.
The current line of the Korean Hyundai brand currently includes one pickup truck — Santa Cruz. This model, which debuted in 2021, has a monocoque body and shares a platform with the Tucson SUV. The truck is presented on the North American market, in the States it belongs to the compact pickup truck segment, and competes with the Ford Maverick for buyers. In the future, the line of the Korean brand may be replenished with two new trucks.

Rumors about new products appeared after it became known about the application for registration of a new trademark that Hyundai filed in Australia. According to local publication Drive, we are talking about the Ioniq T10 trademark: this name is expected to be given to the brand's future all-electric pickup truck. There has been no official confirmation of this information from the company yet.

According to the application, the registered trademark will be used in a category that includes “cars, electric vehicles, pickups, crossovers.” The Australian publication suggested that the new product would be a pickup truck because of the letter “T” in the index, which presumably indicates the word truck used in the United States to designate models in this segment (by the way, in Australia it is ute).

The fact that the new product will be electric is hinted at by Ioniq in its name. In addition, it is assumed that a ten in the index means that the model in the brand hierarchy will be positioned (at least in terms of dimensions) at the top of the Korean brand's electric vehicle line. If all expectations are met, the Hyundai Ioniq T10 will turn out to be a full-size pickup truck, which in the States (according to the publication, Australia will not be the main market for the new product) will be able to compete with the current “green” Ford F-150 Lightning truck.

It is noted that such a new product may appear in the brand’s line over the next two years. There is no information yet about what “filling” the Ioniq T10 will have. Let us remind you that the current F-150 Lightning is equipped with a twin-engine power plant, its total output is 588 hp, and the maximum torque is 1050 Nm. The system includes a traction battery with a capacity of 131 kWh. This pickup truck takes less than four seconds to accelerate from a standstill to almost 100 km/h (up to 96.7 km/h). .jpg» />
It is expected that the Hyundai line will be complemented by another pickup truck in the future — the Ioniq T7 (the manufacturer has also registered this trademark). It is possible that such an electric vehicle will turn out to be a compact truck and will become a “green” alternative to the Hyundai Santa Cruz on the American market. There has been no official information regarding this potential new product yet either.
Meanwhile, the Korean brand Kia will soon have its own pickup truck: it will be presented in 2025. It is expected that it will be named Tasman and will have a diesel engine under the hood. Its competitors are likely to be the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux.
