Hyundai IONIQ 3 Launches in UK with Full Grant

Hyundai has opened UK orders for the all‑new IONIQ 3, and every trim qualifies for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant, which reduces the entry price to £18,495 on‑road. The compact Aero Hatch now shares the same grant footing as the KONA Electric, making it an attractive option for buyers. The grant is applied automatically in the configurator, so customers see the discounted price right away.

Pricing and Battery Details

The larger battery gives up to 308 miles of range with DC rapid charging, while the smaller pack powers the entry trim.

The five‑seat IONIQ 3 has a 441‑litre boot and a drag coefficient of 0.263. Standard features include Android‑Automotive‑based Pleos Connect and Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance, while the Ultimate trim adds Matrix LED headlights, Highway Driving Assist 2, heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

Ashley Andrew, President of Hyundai Motor UK, said pre‑launch interest was stronger than for any new Hyundai the brand has introduced in the UK, and that securing the full grant across every version should convert that interest into orders now that cars are arriving in retailers this month. The all‑new IONIQ 3 can be ordered through Hyundai retailers across the UK, with grant‑inclusive pricing and full specifications available on the Hyundai UK configurator. For a compact EV that claims class‑leading range and serious kit, the launch is worth watching closely through autumn 2026.
