As confirmed by Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) the Ioniq 3 will be built in Turkey.[1] It was originally speculated to be a subcompact SUV named the Ioniq 2 and was expected to sit in-between the Bayon and Inster in Hyundai's lineup. Hyundai's European CEO (Xavier Martinet) confirmed that the model will launch sometime in the third quarter of 2026.[2]
The starting price is expected to be around €30,000 and the Ioniq 3 will use the Art of Steel design language first introduced on the second generation Hyundai Nexo.
