The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is an upcoming battery electric subcompact hatchback to be manufactured by Hyundai. Sales are set to commence between early and late 2026.

Overview

The Ioniq 3 will be an electric hatchback. As confirmed by Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) the Ioniq 3 will be built in Turkey.[1] It was originally speculated to be a subcompact SUV named the Ioniq 2 and was expected to sit in-between the Bayon and Inster in Hyundai's lineup. Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) confirmed that the model will launch sometime in the third quarter of 2026.[2]

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 September 8, 2025, in Munich, Germany.[3]

Powertrain

The Ioniq 3 is expected to use a front-wheel-drive layout and borrow the motor and batteries from the Kia EV3. If confirmed then the Ioniq 3 will use the EV3's 58.3kWh and 81.4 kWh batteries and a motor producing 201 horsepower and 209 pound feet of torque.[4]

Hyundai Concept THREE

The Ioniq 3 was revealed at the 2025 Munich Motor Show in Germany. The production model will not be revealed, but rather the concept previewing the Ioniq 3, called the Concept Three (stylized as Concept THREE).[5][6] Sketches of the concept show that the Concept THREE will use a rear ducktail spoiler and diffuser, a raked visor-shaped glasshouse, and narrow wrap-around lights. The Concept THREE will use the Art of Steel design language.[7]
