Hyundai Opens European Orders for Ioniq 3

The compact EV couples a 61 kWh Long Range that reaches roughly 497 km WLTP with a value‑focused package to sharpen price‑for‑range competition in Europe.

Overview

  • Hyundai opened order books on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, and has listed the Ioniq 3 for several European markets with entry prices around €29,000 and leasing offers from about €209 per month.
  • The car is offered with two battery choices: a 42 kWh LFP Standard Range that delivers about 344 km WLTP and a 61 kWh Long Range that reaches roughly 496–497 km WLTP.
  • Both versions use front‑wheel drive; the Standard Range pairs a 108 kW (147 PS) motor while the Long Range uses a slightly lower‑power 99 kW (135 PS) motor to favor efficiency.
  • Charging includes DC fast charging up to about 119 kW with Hyundai claiming roughly 10–80% times near 30 minutes and an optional three‑phase onboard AC charger up to 22 kW for faster home or public AC charging.
  • Hyundai developed the model in Rüsselsheim and builds it in Izmit, Turkey, and the Ioniq 3’s compact 4.16–4.17 m body, 2.65 m wheelbase and 441‑litre trunk aim to give European buyers roomy packaging at a lower cost, a move likely to pressure rivals on price and range.
