Hyundai Motor is preparing two electric sports utility vehicles for Europe, models that could be called the Ioniq 4 and Ioniq 7, Electrakt reported. The automaker is expected to launch a small electric SUV positioned between the Ioniq 3 and Ioniq 5 and a family SUV to sit between the Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 9 within 12 to 18 months. Names and specifications have not been officially announced.

Hyundai Motor is considering selling humanoid robots and robot dogs through its existing car dealer network and exploring whether Hyundai Capital can provide similar financing support for robots. CEO Jose Munoz raised the possibility at an investor event. The plan builds on Hyundai Motor Group\'s robotics push, including its 2021 acquisition of an 80% stake in Boston Dynamics. The consumer robot market remains early, and Hyundai has not clarified target buyers.
