As reported during the world premiere in April, Hyundai is positioning the Ioniq 3 as a sleek Aero Hatch in the fiercely competitive volume market. Measuring around 4.16 metres in length, the model directly targets competitors such as the Renault 5, the Cupra Raval, and the VW ID. Polo, combining striking design with high everyday practicality.
In the Netherlands, the Ioniq 3 is launched in its base variant with a 42 kWh battery (Standard Range) at a starting price of €27,995. A comparison with its sibling model, the Kia EV2, reveals a close alignment in pricing: the latter starts at €27,595 in the Netherlands and €26,600 in Germany. That means the Ioniq 3 could also be slightly cheaper for end customers in Germany than in the Netherlands, partly due to Germany’s VAT rate being two percentage points lower (19% vs. 21%).
Customers opting for the larger battery variant with 61 kWh (Long Range) will pay at least €31,995 in the Netherlands. The smaller battery offers a WLTP range of around 344 kilometres, while the Long Range version achieves up to 497 kilometres. Interestingly, the base model with the shorter range delivers slightly more system power—107.8 kW—compared to the Long Range variant, which provides 99.5 kW.
