The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is an upcoming battery electric supermini car to be manufactured by Hyundai starting in 2026.

It is the fourth product marketed under the electric car-focused Ioniq sub-brand after the Ioniq 9.

It is Hyundai’s first dedicated electric vehicle to feature the 400-volt architecture.

Overview

History

The Ioniq 3 is an electric hatchback. As confirmed by Hyundai's European CEO Xavier Martinet, the Ioniq 3 will be built in Turkey from August 2026.[1][2] Martinet confirmed that the model will launch sometime in the third quarter of 2026.[3] It debuted in the Netherlands on 31 July 2026[4]

The starting price is expected to be around €30,000, and the Ioniq 3 will use the Art of Steel design language first introduced on the second generation Hyundai Nexo.

The Ioniq 3 was previewed by the Concept THREE, which was revealed on 8 September 2025, in Munich, Germany.[5]

The Ioniq 3 was teased on 14 April 2026.[6] It was unveiled in Milan, Italy, during Milan Design Week on 20 April 2026.[7]

Design

The Ioniq 3 is the first electric Hyundai designed in Europe for the European market.[8][9] It uses split headlights, with illuminated dots right above the grille. The N-Line variant has a diffuser integrated into the rear bumper and a custom rear spoiler. The A-pillar, roof, side skirts, and cladding are all painted black.[10]

Features

The Ioniq 3 has a centre touchscreen with a size of 14.6 inches. Hyundai chose to keep physical buttons for the Ioniq 3.[11] Lower trim levels use a 12.9-inch central touchscreen. Hyundai's Android-based Pleos software-defined infotainment system is used like in the Kia PV5. It has an electronic column shifter mounted on the right stalk. Hyundai also designed the center console to be two-story.[10]

Powertrain

The Standard Range version has an electric motor producing 107 kW (143 hp; 145 PS) paired to a 42.2 kWh battery. It gets a range of 344 kilometres (214 mi) on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure cycle. The long-range model is less powerful, using a 99 kW (133 hp; 135 PS) motor compared to the 107 kW of the Standard Range. It uses a 61 kWh battery that allows the Long Range version to get a range of 496 kilometres (308 mi) on the same cycle. Both versions have a torque output of 249 N⋅m (25.4 kg⋅m; 184 lb⋅ft) regardless of power output.[10]

Production

Unlike the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6, and Ioniq 9, the Ioniq 3 is produced at the Hyundai Assan Otomotiv plant in İzmit, Turkey, where it is built alongside the i10, i20, and Bayon, as the Hyundai’s first dedicated electric vehicle to be assembled in Europe.

Hyundai Concept Three

The Ioniq 3 was previewed at the 2025 Munich Motor Show in Germany as a near-ready concept called the Concept Three (stylized as Concept THREE).[12][13] The Concept THREE the Art of Steel design language, equipped with a rear ducktail spoiler and diffuser, a raked visor-shaped glasshouse, and narrow wrap-around lights.[14][1]
