Hyundai unveils Concept Three, a vehicle billed as a compact city car. However, its sculpted profile is more reminiscent of a sports coupé. With this teaser, Hyundai is building up anticipation ahead of the IAA Mobility 2025show, which runs from 9 to 14 September in Munich.
A long-awaited return to Munich
After a four-year absence, the Korean manufacturer is making a comeback at the IAA, Europe’s biggest mobility show. To mark the occasion, Hyundai has chosen to officially unveil its first compact electric concept from the Ioniq range. This model could herald a future Ioniq 3, an electric city car promised to be bold and innovative.
Sculptural and dynamic design
The styling of the Concept Three illustrates the new design language known as the « Art of Steel ». Inspired by the fluidity of steel, the bodywork combines taut surfaces, clean lines and precise intersections. Its bold appearance is reinforced by a sharp profile, a plunging bonnet and reduced side windows. The whole evokes an assertive sportiness, far removed from the traditional image of the city car.
The birth of the Aero Hatch
Concept Three introduces a new type of vehicle, dubbed the « Aero Hatch ». This fluid, muscular silhouette aims to reinvent the compact electric vehicle segment. According to Simon Loasby, Hyundai’s Head of Design, the project was an opportunity to completely rethink the electric city car, combining movement with balanced proportions.
A key event for Hyundai
Hyundai will present the Concept Three in detail at a press conference on 9 September. The public will also be able to discover the vehicle in the IAA Open Space in the heart of Munich. With this styling study, the brand confirms its ambition to establish itself as a major player in sustainable mobility in Europe.
