The Hyundai Ioniq 3 – Hyundai’s new entry-level EV – goes on sale with a choice of two powertrains and four spec levels. Costs from £22,245.
Hyundai is calling the Ioniq 3 the ‘Aero Hatch’ thanks to its slippery shape – which looks a bit like the love child of an Ioniq 6 and Veloster – and it’s being offered with the choice of two powertrains: a 42.2kWh battery with 144bhp and 61kWh with 134bhp, and four trim levels – Advance, Premium, Ultimate and N Line Evo.
The entry-level Advance trim is the only option for the 42.2kWh powertrain (priced from £22,245) and comes with 16″ alloys, LED lights, parking sensors, Climate, Smart Cruise, 12.9″ infotainment, and safety nannies including High Beam Assist and Blind Spot. You can also have the Advance with 61kWh powertrain for £22,245 (inc ECG). Move up to Premium trim (from £25,945), and you also get 17″ alloys, Privacy Glass, battery heating, 9.9″ drive display and auto wipers.
Next up is the Ultimate trim (from £28,445), which adds 18″ alloys, Matrix LED headlights, heated front seats and steering wheel, ambient lighting and Smart Cruise.
Topping the Ioniq 3 offerings is N Line Evo (from £30,445), which gets N Line exterior bits, 19″ alloys, 14.6″ infotainment, suede and cloth N Line seats, N Line interior design with splashes of red, and a surround view monitor.
Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai & Genesis UK, said:
The IONIQ name is already one of the most recognised and trusted among EV buyers who recognise it stands for smart design, real-world efficiency, and leading technology. With IONIQ 3, we’re taking that legacy into a new space with a model that delivers genuine EV innovation at a price point that makes electric mobility attainable for even more households.
