Hyundai Motor UK has announced UK pricing, specification and technical information for the New Hyundai IONIQ 3, a compact electric Aero Hatch, with prices starting from £22,245 OTR.
Customers can reserve the New Hyundai IONIQ 3 now by completing the online vehicle configurator and submitting their details at https://www.hyundai.com/uk/en/models/ioniq3/configurator.html. Customers who place a reservation now will benefit from a £1,500 Hyundai Reservation Saving on all 61kWh models, unless and until an Electric Car Grant (“ECG”) becomes applicable. Once the assessment process is complete, Hyundai anticipates that all 61kWh models will be eligible for the Band 2 ECG. The Hyundai Reservation Saving and the Electric Car Grant cannot be used together. Details of all available offers can also be found on Hyundai’s website.
The New Hyundai IONIQ 3 has been developed for drivers seeking an affordable, efficient and practical compact electric car. Built on a 400-volt electrical architecture, IONIQ 3 combines everyday usability, fast DC charging, AC charging up to 11 kW and two battery options, with an expected driving range of up to 308 miles.
IONIQ 3 introduces Hyundai’s “Art of Steel” design language to the compact EV segment. The Aero Hatch body shape combines aerodynamic efficiency with generous interior space, supported by a target drag coefficient of approximately 0.263 and signature pixel lighting that reinforces the Hyundai IONIQ electric vehicle identity.
IONIQ 3 is the first European Hyundai model to feature Pleos Connect, Hyundai’s infotainment system based on Android Automotive OS. The system is available with a 12.9-inch or 14.6-inch display and supports intuitive access to vehicle functions, navigation and connectivity. Other key technologies include Hyundai Digital Key 2, Plug & Charge, an integrated EV route planner, interior and exterior Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality and Memory Reverse Assist, which can memorise the last 50 metres of driving inputs to assist with subsequent manoeuvres such as reversing out of tight parking spaces.
IONIQ 3’s design ensures aerodynamic performance but customers wanting a sportier look can choose the N Line Evo. With bold N Line styling changes to the front and rear including a higher & wider rear spoiler with lower diffuser, bespoke 19” black alloy wheels, black mirror caps and N Line badging, N Line Evo captures both sporting intent and true aero hatch efficiency.
Although IONIQ 3 has a B-segment footprint, its interior has been designed to deliver space and storage typically associated with larger vehicles. Practical features include an open bridge floating centre console, adjustable cup holders for large drinks bottles, Megabox underfloor storage and total boot capacity of 441 litres.
The IONIQ 3 Advance is available from £22,245 and includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED front headlamps and rear lamps, front and rear parking sensors, a 12.9-inch infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear view monitor, smart key with push-button start, smart cruise control with stop-and-go and an electronic parking brake. Standard safety equipment includes High Beam Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Follow Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist. Advance is available with a 42kWh 147PS powertrain with an expected 213 miles of range, or a 61kWh 135PS powertrain with an expected 308 miles of range from £25,745 (£24,245 with either/or Hyundai Reservation Saving/ anticipated ECG)
The IONIQ 3 Premium, priced from £27,445 (£25,945 with either/or Hyundai Reservation Saving/ anticipated ECG) builds on Advance with 17-inch alloy wheels, privacy glass, battery heating and pre-conditioning, a 9.9-inch digital information cluster, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, electrically folding door mirrors, wireless smartphone charger, seat back pockets, solar windscreen and passenger seat height adjustment. Premium options include the EV Pack with heat pump and Vehicle-to-Load functions. All Premium models use the 61kWh 135PS powertrain and offer an expected range of up to 303 miles.
The IONIQ 3 Ultimate, priced from £29,945 (£28,445 with either/or Hyundai Reservation Saving/anticipated ECG), adds 18-inch alloy wheels, navigation for the 12.9-inch infotainment system, matrix LED headlamps with dynamic welcome function, heated front seats, heated steering wheel, rear seat armrest, front seat lumbar support, rear air vents, reclining rear seats, cabin ambient lighting and Highway Drive Assist with hands-on detection and navigation-based smart cruise control.

All Ultimate models use the 61kWh 135PS powertrain and offer an expected range of up to 300 miles.
The IONIQ 3 N Line Evo, priced from £31,945 (£30,445 with either/or Hyundai Reservation Saving/anticipated ECG) is the range-topping trim and adds N Line exterior design, 19-inch N Line alloy wheels, a 14.6-inch infotainment display with navigation and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, suede and cloth N Line seats, N Line interior design with red accents, surround view monitor, blind spot view monitor, parking collision avoidance assist, 360-degree parking sensors, remote smart parking assist and Memory Reverse Assist.
