The all-new Hyundai IONIQ 3, the newest member of Hyundai’s award-winning IONIQ range, will make its UK public debut at the Everything Electric WEST at Cheltenham Racecourse from 12–13 June 2026.
IONIQ 3 is a fully electric compact hatchback designed to make EV driving simple, comfortable and practical for everyday life in Europe. Combining Hyundai’s bold “Art of Steel” design language with intuitive technology and a spacious interior, the model reflects the brand’s focus on advanced electrification and connected living. The vehicle introduces a new “Aero Hatch” design, engineered to improve both aerodynamic efficiency and interior space, with a sleek low profile and extended roofline helping maximise comfort and headroom for passengers.
