Hyundai tantalized us with a very successful test and hits the mark with its Concept Three.
With Concept Three, Hyundai sends a clear message: gone are the overly sensible electric compacts, it’s time for the show. Behind this flamboyant prototype lies the future Ioniq 3 expected in 2026.
Produced in Europe and designed to compete with European compacts, this Korean car aims to become Hyundai’s best-selling electric vehicle on the continent. But be careful, according to the Korean manufacturer, this is not just a simple compact; here, we’re talking about an aero hatch. In short, we have a sculpted hatch, a fighter jet-style spoiler, and a razor-sharp line. Because in 2025, even a Tesla should be wary of aerodynamics lessons taught from Seoul.
Hyundai has plenty of (good) ideas
The manufacturer even dares to introduce a new design philosophy, pompously dubbed “Art of Steel.” They sculpt steel as a noble material to give relief and personality. In short, Hyundai wants to erase the label of “practical car” and inject a good dose of fun. As further evidence, the concept hides Easter eggs called “Mr. Pix,” as if an electric compact absolutely needed a pixelated mascot to attract interest.
Inside, Hyundai doesn’t hesitate to refer to it as a living room on wheels. The butterfly doors won’t see production, but they help to better showcase this cabin designed as a living space. And, as a little surprise, while the trend is towards touch screens, Hyundai loudly proclaims its love for good old buttons. This will please nostalgic drivers or simply remind everyone that tapping on a screen while driving isn’t ideal.
