The electric hatchback comes in four trim levels and with either a 42.2 or 61 kWh battery, although the smaller battery is reserved for the entry-level Advance version.
The Ioniq 3 Advance with the 42.2 kWh battery starts at £22,245 on the road. Its front-mounted electric motor produces 107.8 kW and 250 Nm, with Hyundai quoting an expected range of 213 miles (343 kilometres). The 61 kWh version of the Advance costs £25,745 and combines the larger battery with a 99.5 kW motor. Despite the lower output, it offers the longest expected range in the line-up at 308 miles (496 kilometres). The range figures are still subject to final homologation.
Hyundai has opted for a 400-volt architecture for the Ioniq 3. Maximum DC charging power is 119 kW with the smaller battery and 110 kW with the 61 kWh pack. According to Hyundai, charging from ten to 80 per cent takes 29 and 30 minutes, respectively. Both versions have an 11 kW onboard charger for AC charging. Plug & Charge and an EV route planner are also part of the technology package.
At 4.15 m long and 1.8 m wide, with a wheelbase of 2.68 m, the Ioniq 3 sits in the B-segment. The boot provides 441 litres of space, increasing to 1,213 litres with the rear seats folded.
