The All-New Hyundai IONIQ 3 in Newry County Down

Something new is on the horizon. The Hyundai IONIQ family is growing. Introducing the IONIQ 3, an all-electric compact hatchback that proves you don’t have to sacrifice bold design or cutting-edge technology when choosing a smaller footprint.

Inspired by nature and refined into high-strength steel, the IONIQ 3 is the next evolution in our award-winning electric line-up. Designed specifically for the needs of modern European drivers, it combines urban agility with the premium feel and innovative spirit of the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6.

Design

Visually striking from every angle, the Ioniq 3 showcases Hyundai’s sleek "Aero Hatch" silhouette, blending aerodynamic efficiency with futuristic flair. Clean, sculpted body surfaces are complemented by signature pixel light graphics, giving it a distinct, high-tech roadside identity. Inside, the "Furnished Space" layout uses warm, eco-friendly textiles and soft-touch materials, creating a serene, contemporary lounge environment rather than a traditional, cluttered car cockpit

Drive

Behind the wheel, the Ioniq 3 delivers a quiet, refined, and confident experience tailored for city streets and open highways alike. Instant electric torque offers smooth, responsive acceleration away from traffic lights, while the low center of gravity keeps handling poised through tight corners. Adjustable regenerative braking lets drivers tailor deceleration to their personal style, enabling relaxed one-pedal driving that takes the friction out of tedious stop-and-go commuter traffic.

Practicality

Designed to maximize real-world usability, the Ioniq 3 transforms its compact exterior footprint into an remarkably spacious cabin. Thanks to its dedicated flat-floor platform, passengers enjoy impressive legroom front and back. Deep door pockets, versatile console storage, and an expansive trunk easily accommodate groceries, luggage, or sports gear. The accessible loading height and clever packaging ensure that busy family runs, gear-heavy getaways, and daily errands remain organized and hassle-free.

Living with it

Living with the Hyundai Ioniq 3 effortlessly simplifies daily routines through thoughtful, intuitive technology. Upfront, the Pleos Connect system powers a responsive touchscreen alongside wireless smartphone integration, making navigation and media seamless. Overnight charging keeps morning commutes stress-free, while quick DC fast-charging tops the battery up from 10 to 80 percent in under 30 minutes on longer weekend road trips. It bridges modern digital convenience with relaxed, everyday electric driving.
