Overview
- Hyundai’s Ioniq 3, unveiled Monday at Milan Design Week, runs a 400‑volt version of the E‑GMP EV platform with 42.2 kWh and 61 kWh batteries rated at about 214 and 308 miles WLTP.
- The single‑motor front‑wheel‑drive setup delivers roughly 100–108 kW with 0–100 km/h in 9.0–9.6 seconds, DC fast‑charging from 10 to 80 percent in about 29–30 minutes, and AC charging up to 22 kW with Vehicle‑to‑Load power outlets.
- The car debuts Hyundai’s Pleos Connect system in Europe, which uses Android Automotive for native apps on 12.9‑inch or 14.6‑inch screens and keeps physical switches for core climate and audio controls.
- The model was designed in Europe and will be built at Hyundai’s İzmit plant in Türkiye, with European sales expected later in 2026 and entry pricing reported around £25,000 or the upper‑€20,000s, and no U.S. launch planned for now.
- An ‘Aero Hatch’ shape targets efficiency and space with a claimed 0.263 drag coefficient, a flat floor, and a 441‑liter boot with a hidden Megabox, positioning the Ioniq 3 against rivals like VW’s ID.3, Kia’s EV2/EV3, and BYD’s Dolphin for urban buyers.
