The IONIQ 5’s Little Brother is Here!
Is this the electric hatchback we’ve been waiting for? In this episode we took a closer look at the hotly anticipated Hyundai IONIQ 3 in Frankfurt to see if it can truly be a "one-stop shop" family car for under £30k.
Built on the same E-GMP platform as the upcoming Kia EV2, the IONIQ 3 trades the boxy SUV look for a sleek "Aero Hatch" design. With a 300+ mile range on the long-range model and a secret "Megabox" boot that defies its compact dimensions, Hyundai is aiming right at the heart of the Renault 4 and Volvo EX30.
In this episode:
đźš— The Stats: 42.2kWh vs 61kWh battery options.
đźš— The Design: Why it looks like a "sexy receding hairline."
đźš— The Practicality: Can a person actually fit in the boot? (Spoilers: Yes)
đźš— The Tech: Android Automotive OS and V2L capabilities
