Hyundai Ioniq 3

Summary

The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is an all-electric family hatchback that is likely to arrive in UK showrooms in late 2026 or early 2027.

Positioned above the compact Inster city car and below the larger Ioniq 5 hatchback and Ioniq 6 saloon in Hyundai’s all-electric line-up, the Ioniq 3 is set to challenge the sales of the similarly-sized MG 4 and Volkswagen ID.3.

While the hatchback has been officially unveiled, its still early days yet. No one in the British motoring media has got behind the wheel of the Ioniq 3. That means we have no review scores to display at the moment.

We will update this page with more information and reviews, as well as safety and running cost data, as soon as those are available. Check back soon!
