Two intelligent battery options give you the flexibility to choose the right electric range for your lifestyle. The standard 42.2 kWh pack handles daily commutes and urban driving with incredible efficiency, while the long-range 61 kWh option pushes the estimated WLTP range up to an impressive 308 miles—giving you total confidence for extended weekend road trips.
Both variants utilise an agile front-wheel-drive layout powered by a highly responsive 147 PS (108 kW) electric motor. When it is time to plug in, the IONIQ 3’s advanced 400V architecture makes quick work of charging stops; rapid DC charging can boost your battery from 10% to 80% in just 29 minutes, ensuring you spend less time waiting and more time driving.

A compact electric vehicle should never have to compromise on presence, and the IONIQ 3 translates the bold vision of the IAA Mobility 2025 Concept THREE into a stunning production reality. Rooted in Hyundai’s innovative "Art of Steel" design philosophy, the exterior introduces a brand-new "Aero Hatch" silhouette—a sleek, low-slung shape that achieves a remarkable 0.263 Cd drag coefficient while turning heads with signature Parametric Pixel lighting that subtly integrates four central dots to represent the letter "H" in Morse code. Step inside, and that striking exterior gives way to a calming "Furnished Space" interior built on the flat-floor E-GMP architecture. Designed to feel as warm and intuitive as a modern living room, the cabin prioritizes purposeful simplicity with sustainable, bio-based materials inspired by 1970s furniture, high-mounted digital displays for a clear natural sightline, and the deliberate retention of tactile physical controls, ensuring the space is clean, considered, and genuinely built to spend time in.
The Hyundai IONIQ 3 is packed with next-generation technology designed to make every journey safer, simpler, and more connected. Rather than overwhelming you with complicated menus, the interior focuses on intuitive controls and seamless smartphone integration.
