Hyundai IONIQ 3 electric hatchback priced from £22,245

The new Hyundai IONIQ 3 compact electric hatchback is priced from £22,245, with two battery options and an expected range of up to 308 miles.

The Hyundai IONIQ 3 is available in four trim levels – Advance, Premium, Ultimate and N Line Evo – all with the larger 61kWh battery, and Advance trim is also available with the smaller 42kWh battery.

The IONIQ 3 is a B-segment hatchback but its interior has been designed to deliver space and storage typically associated with larger vehicles including a boot capacity of 441 litres.

The IONIQ 3 is the first European Hyundai model to feature Pleos Connect, Hyundai’s infotainment system based on Android Automotive OS. The system is available with a 12.9-inch or 14.6-inch display and supports intuitive access to vehicle functions, navigation and connectivity. Other key technologies include Hyundai Digital Key 2, Plug & Charge, an integrated EV route planner, interior and exterior Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality and Memory Reverse Assist, which can memorise the last 50 metres of driving inputs to assist with subsequent manoeuvres such as reversing out of tight parking spaces.

Customers wanting a sportier look can choose the N Line Evo with N Line styling changes to the front and rear including a higher and wider rear spoiler with lower diffuser, bespoke 19-inch black alloy wheels, black mirror caps and N Line badging.

Advance trim is available with a 42kWh 147PS powertrain with an expected 213 miles of range, or a 61kWh 135PS powertrain with an expected 308 miles of range from £25,745, which is likely to reduce to £24,245 with the Electric Car Grant.
