Hyundai has confirmed the name of its next electric car, perhaps unsurprisingly following in the Ioniq series it has established.
The (likely) 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 3 will be the smallest in the line-up so far, undercutting the Ioniq 5 as the brand’s entry into a new segment for the Ioniq models.
Set to debut in April this year, the Ioniq 3 remains completely under wraps with Hyundai not even having teased what the car may look like.
The confirmation of its name lines up with a convenient hint, the recent Concept Three, shown off at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.Â
The concept car is a fastback-style hatch that wears the brand’s Ioniq badging across its tail, and lines up with the design language used by the Ioniq 5 and 6.
Likely to be built on a similar version of the shared Hyundai/Kia E-GMP platform as the Kia EV3 and EV4, though if the concept is anything to go by the Ioniq 3 won’t be quite as boxy and SUV-like as the EV3.
The incoming Kia EV4 could be a better indication of size, though the Hyundai Ioniq 3 is unlikely to look much like it - the recognisable Ioniq pixel lighting is just one design element that Hyundai appears to have already locked in for the Ioniq 3.
While the Ioniq 3 might not look quite as wild as the Concept Three, Hyundai rarely reveals a concept car for no reason. The Ioniq 5 and 6 were both preceded by concepts (The Concept 45 and Prophecy respectively) that showed clear lineage to the eventual production cars.
Stay tuned as the reveal in April approaches.
