Hyundai Debuts Concept Three in Munich, Previewing Compact Ioniq 3 EV

Executives signal a potential N hot hatch is under review without approval.

Overview

  • The Concept Three was unveiled at IAA Mobility 2025 as a compact electric hatch that strongly previews a production model for the Ioniq lineup.
  • It introduces Hyundai’s new ‘Art of Steel’ design language, a dual-motor all-wheel-drive concept powertrain, and a cabin trimmed with sustainable materials.
  • Media reporting points to production around mid‑2026, with some coverage indicating a start in the first half of 2026 at Hyundai’s plant in Turkey.
  • Show-car flourishes such as asymmetrical doors, oversized wheels, and a massive diffuser are not expected to carry over, with the production car anticipated as a conventional five-door.
  • Hyundai leaders say a performance variant is being seriously considered but not approved, with reports suggesting an Ioniq 3 N could follow around 2027 if it gets the green light.
