Hyundai Opens IONIQ 3 EV Orders, Starting at About $30,000
The Korean automaker's latest electric vehicle enters the competitive sub-$35,000 segment.
Hyundai has opened orders for its IONIQ 3 electric vehicle, with pricing starting at approximately $30,000 in the United States.
What Happened
Hyundai has officially begun accepting orders for the IONIQ 3, its latest entry in the growing compact EV segment. The automaker set the base price at around $30,000, positioning the model to compete against other affordable electric vehicles entering the market. Order openings signal that Hyundai is moving forward with deliveries of this new nameplate.
Why It Matters
The approximately $30,000 starting price places the IONIQ 3 among the more accessible mainstream EVs available in the U.S. market. This pricing strategy comes as automakers face continued pressure to offer lower-cost electric vehicles amid shifting demand patterns and increased competition from both established rivals and new entrants. Buyers seeking entry-level electric vehicles have limited options at this price point, making any new entrant notable for the segment.
The Bottom Line
Hyundai's IONIQ 3 is now open for orders with a base price near $30,000. Deliveries are expected to follow as production ramps up. Prospective buyers should consult Hyundai directly or visit dealerships for specific configuration options and delivery timelines.
