Overview

The Ioniq 3 will be an electric hatchback. As confirmed by Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) the Ioniq 3 will be built in Turkey. [1] It was originally speculated to be a subcompact SUV named the Ioniq 2 and was expected to sit in-between the Bayon and Inster in Hyundai's lineup. Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) confirmed that the model will launch sometime in the third quarter of 2026. [2]

The starting price is expected to be around €30,000 and the Ioniq 3 will use the Art of Steel design language first introduced on the second generation Hyundai Nexo.

The Ioniq 3 was previewed by the Concept THREE, which was revealed on September 8, 2025, in Munich, Germany. [3]

Powertrain

The Ioniq 3 is expected to use a front-wheel-drive layout and borrow the motor and batteries from the Kia EV3. If confirmed then the Ioniq 2 will use the EV3's 58.3kWh and 81.4 kWh batteries and a motor producing 201 horsepower and 209 pound feet of torque. [4]

[5] [6] Sketches of the concept show that the Concept THREE will use a rear ducktail spoiler and diffuser, a raked visor-shaped glasshouse, and narrow wrap-around lights. The Concept THREE will use the Art of Steel design language. [7]
