​Hyundai has revealed pricing and spec details for its new Ioniq 3 hatchback, one of the five new models the company's got coming in the next 18 months. 

The Ioniq 3 is the sibling model of Kia’s EV2, they share the same bits underneath – EV2 pricing was announced back when the car went on sale in April. 

The 3 is the fourth model in the Ioniq line-up of electric cars from Hyundai, though you’ve still got the Inster and Kona so we’re not quite sure what the thinking is – something to do with signature pixel lighting if the press release is anything to go by. 

The new electric supermini comes in four trims, with two battery sizes – 42kWh and 61kWh. The smaller battery is only available with the entry level Advance trim, plus you’ve also got Premium, Ultimate and N Line Evo specs to choose from with the bigger battery. 

The Advance 42kWh starts the range from £22,245, and you’ve got to stump up £3,500 if you want the bigger battery. The Ioniq 3 is rated at 213 miles of WLTP range in this trim with the smaller battery, and 308 miles of WLTP with the larger one. 

Advance trim comes with 16in alloys, LED lights front and rear, dual zone climate control, keyless entry, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors plus wireless Apple and Android with 12.9in touchscreen infotainment setup.

Premium will cost you from £27,445 and comes with 17in alloys, battery pre-conditioning, wireless phone charging, auto wipers and a digital instrument panel. 

Ultimate, costing from £29,945, will upgrade you to 18in alloys, satnav, matrix LED headlights, heater seats and steering wheel, ambient cabin lighting and reclining back seats. 

Opt for the top spec N Line Evo trim at £31,945 and you’ll get 19in alloys, a 14.9in infotainment display, suede and cloth interior, 360-degree parking help as well as a fancy parking system that lets you move in and out of a space from outside the car. 

A heat pump does not come as standard on the Ioniq 3, that’s a £1,250 option from Premium trim onwards that also comes with V2L capability. 

Hyundai reckons the Ioniq 3 will qualify for Band 2 of the electric car grant, which would mean £1,500 off all these prices except the entry car with the 42kWh battery that Hyundai doesn’t think will get the grant. 

We've still not driven the car in the UK, but you can see what Ginny and Vicky thought about the car when they went to see previews of it – including the huge ‘megabox’ storage underneath the boot floor that’s possibly the most exciting thing about the Ioniq 3. 

Orders might have just opened for the car, but production has only just started at the plant in Turkey that’s going to be piling them out of the door, with deliveries expected to start before the end of the year.
