Meet the IONIQ 3, a fully electric compact hatchback designed to make electric mobility intuitive, comfortable and relevant for everyday commuting needs.

The IONIQ 3 combines bold design rooted in Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ philosophy, simple and easy-to-use technology and a spacious, comfortable interior.

Embodying the IONIQ lineup’s mission to lead advanced electrification and connected living under Hyundai’s vision of ‘Progress for Humanity,’ it is shaped by a design approach that balances simplicity, precision and material authenticity.

At its launch, this IONIQ 3 introduces a new “Aero Hatch” typology with a silhouette optimised for both aerodynamic efficiency and generous interior space. Its low, sleek front-end transitions into a distinctive roofline that runs straight over both front and rear occupants before accelerating downward to merge seamlessly with the rear spoiler. This geometry maximises interior roominess, delivering notable headroom and improved comfort for the rear passengers.

How does IONIQ 3 meet the needs of electric car customers?

IONIQ 3 has been developed to meet the needs of everyday drivers, young families and innovative customers who value functionality as much as style. Built on Hyundai Motor Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) with a 400-volt electrical architecture, the vehicle delivers a balanced combination of efficiency, driving range and charging capability, designed to support everyday comfort and ease of use.

Two battery options are available, offering projected WLTP ranges of 344 km (Standard Range) and 496 km (Long Range), allowing customers to choose the setup that best fits their lifestyle.

What defines the design of IONIQ 3?

IONIQ 3 introduces Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ design language to the compact EV segment. The design follows Hyundai’s ‘Art of Steel’ philosophy, inspired by the raw tension and purity found in steel production.

Surfaces are reduced to a few deliberate volumes that create a strong and precise visual impact, reflecting the natural behaviour of sheet metal. Signature pixel lighting elements further reinforce the IONIQ identity, complemented by four central dots referencing the letter “H” in Morse code. Aerodynamic optimisation results in a target drag coefficient of approximately 0.263, supporting efficiency while reinforcing a clear and modern design identity.

Customers can personalise their IONIQ 3 with eleven exterior colours, multiple interior schemes, and wheel options from 16- to 19-inch (including N Line variants). The additional IONIQ 3 N Line elevates the standard model with sporty design elements and exclusive touches, creating a bold, dynamic presence.
