Hyundai Motor introduces IONIQ 3, a fully electric compact hatchback designed to make electric mobility intuitive, comfortable and relevant for everyday European needs. 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.
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.
