Hyundai is readying a small, cheap electric car called Ioniq 3 with up to 365 miles of range

Hyundai will launch a new small EV as a nearly-ready concept at the Munich motor show in September. It fits between the Inster and Kona EVs, but will be called Ioniq 3 because it runs on the company's most modern EV platform and has masses of connected tech. Production starts early next year.

The Ioniq 3 is front-wheel drive, with a likely choice of 58.3kWh or 81.4kWh batteries for a WLTP range of around 260 and 365 miles. The 0-62mph time will be under eight seconds. It uses a 400V electrical system, cheaper if slightly slower-charging than the 800V setup in the Ioniq 5, 6 and 9. It's related to sister company Kia's EV3.
