Look, I get it — most people want bigger vehicles, big and bigger. But I don’t really understand it, even if I know the logic well. I simply have a strong preference for smaller vehicles. (Stay tuned for more on that later….) There are many small EVs that I love, but the Hyundai IONIQ 5 now takes the cake.
Hyundai just revealed images of the IONIQ 3 today. It was love at first sight. This is now my ideal car. It looks super cool and slick. It’s got a beautiful, classy interior. Well, I would prefer faux leather seats, but other than that it looks perfect. It’s got futuristic design elements, but it doesn’t go too far with that and they genuinely just look better. It’s got modern tech (screens) to the perfect degree for my tastes.
Back to the exterior, it is basically perfection. Note that the IONIQ 3 N line was released earlier this year. It’s okay. It’s fine. But it’s really not my things. But this normal IONIQ 3 is a whole different matter. Unfortunately … I don’t expect we’ll ever see the IONIQ 3 in the USA. I’ll have to move back to Europe if I want to get one of these….
That’s my subjective take. For the rest of the article, I’ll share Hyundai’s take and more details on the car from its maker.
