Real-world images of the non N Line Ioniq 3 have now surfaced, providing a detailed look at the model. The Ioniq 3 is marketed as an 'Aero Hatch' and features a sloping coupe-like roof. The starting price is expected to be around EUR 28,000, which is approximately Rs 31 lakh.

Key Highlights

• Hyundai Ioniq 3 standard model revealed with real world images
• Base variant offers 42 kWh battery and 335 km range
• Top variant features 61 kWh battery with 490 km range
• Boot capacity is 441 liters with additional 119 liter underfloor storage

Design and Variants

The standard Hyundai Ioniq 3 presents a more understated design compared to the N Line version. It features subtly styled front and rear bumpers, unique alloy wheels without N branding, and more reserved color options. The standard model is expected to account for the majority of Ioniq 3 sales globally. In Ireland, it is set to compete with vehicles like the Toyota Yaris Cross, offering a larger size at a lower starting price.

Hyundai plans to offer five variants of the Ioniq 3 in Ireland. The base variant will come with a 42 kWh battery pack, providing an estimated range of 335 km on a single charge. The top-spec variant will feature a larger 61 kWh battery pack, which promises a range of about 490 km per charge.

Dimensions and Interior Features

The standard Ioniq 3 measures 4,155 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,505 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,680 mm. The N Line variant is slightly longer at 4,170 mm. Despite its sloping roof, the Ioniq 3 offers a 441-liter boot capacity. There is also a 119-liter underfloor storage compartment, referred to as the 'Megabox.'

Inside, the standard Ioniq 3 features a lighter teal and grey interior, in contrast to the N Line’s all-black theme with red accents. The steering wheel displays a quad dot logo, and most equipment is similar across variants. The central infotainment screen can reach up to 14.6 inches and uses Hyundai’s new Pleos software. Additional features include a fully digital instrument cluster, powered front seats, adaptable cup holders, a steering column-mounted gear selector, ventilated front seats, electric boss mode, Bose premium audio, panoramic sunroof, and rear AC vents.
