Hyundai's all-electric hot hatch, the Ioniq 3, has gone on sale in the UK starting at £18,495 (around $25,000) after a £3,750 Electric Car Grant. Announced in April, it is now available to order. Ashley Andrew, president of Hyundai Motor UK, said it received more pre-launch interest than any previous Hyundai in the country.\n\nThe base Advance trim includes a 42 kWh battery with 213-mile range. The top-end N-Line Evo version costs up to £31,945 (around $42,000) and features a 61 kWh battery offering up to 308 miles of range.
Built on a 400V architecture, it charges from 10 to 80 percent in about 29 minutes.\n\nThe Ioniq 3 is Hyundai's first European vehicle with the new Pleos Connect Infotainment system based on Android Automotive OS. Depending on trim, it offers a 12.9-inch or 14.6-inch display, plus optional features like heated seats and Highway Driving Assist 2.\n\nHyundai has no plans to bring the Ioniq 3 to the US due to tariffs. Instead, US customers can consider the slightly larger Ioniq 5 or the Kia EV3 starting around $31,000.
