Hyundai Ioniq 3 Lease Deals

The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is a compact five-seat electric SUV that squeezes a 441-litre boot and up to 308 miles of WLTP range into a body just 4.16 metres long. It is the smallest of Hyundai's dedicated electric models, sitting below the larger Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6.

It suits drivers who want an electric car they can park easily but still load up for a weekend away, and who can charge at home or at work. Front-wheel drive, automatic, and quietly quick enough rather than fast.

The choice is refreshingly simple: one body style, one electric powertrain with a range of battery sizes, and four trims - Advance, Premium, Ultimate and N Line Evo - plus a handful of optional packs.

About the Hyundai Ioniq 3

The Ioniq 3 is Hyundai's entry point into its bespoke electric range: a small, low-drag five-door with five seats, a 441-litre boot with the rear seats up and a five-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty behind it.

Reviewers consistently single out two things. The styling, which looks like nothing else in the class, and the handling - road testers describe it as nimble, accurate and genuinely enjoyable, helped by a relatively modest kerb weight for an electric car.

They are just as consistent about what it isn't. With 133-145 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, performance is brisk rather than rapid, and 0-62 mph takes 8.8-9.6 seconds depending on version. Testers also credit Hyundai for keeping physical knobs and buttons for volume and climate rather than burying everything in the touchscreen.

Why lease a Hyundai Ioniq 3?

Because every Ioniq 3 arrives well equipped and comfortably specified for a contract-hire car, with no need to pay for the basics. Safety and driver-assistance kit is standard across the range, and so is the technology most drivers actually use daily.

Every version gets adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control, DAB digital radio and an electric parking brake. Parking is covered by front and rear sensors plus a rear-view camera on all trims.

On the safety side, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, autonomous emergency braking and automatic high beam are fitted throughout. The battery carries its own eight-year, 100,000-mile warranty guaranteeing 70% of capacity, which matters less on a lease but says something about how the car is built.

Which Ioniq 3 powertrain is right for me?

There's only one: fully electric, front-wheel drive, with an automatic transmission. The decision you're really making is battery size, and that comes down to how far you drive between charges.

Electric

Battery 42.0-61.0 kWh, 133-145 bhp, WLTP range up to 308 miles, automatic, front-wheel drive. There's no engine, so you charge it rather than fuel it - home charging overnight is the cheapest way. Hyundai quotes a 10-80% charge in 29 minutes on the best version. Top speed is 102-105 mph.

The smaller battery suits short commutes and town driving with a home charger. If you regularly do long motorway runs, the bigger battery is the one to look for, and our electric car guide explains how to work out the range you genuinely need.

Which Ioniq 3 trim should I choose?

Four trims, and the step up each time is mostly about wheels, cabin materials and convenience kit rather than extra safety equipment - that's standard throughout. Advance covers the essentials; N Line Evo is the sporty-looking one.

Advance

The entry trim, and far from sparse: 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, cloth upholstery, wireless phone connection with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front and rear parking sensors, and smart cruise control with stop-and-go. In entry form it has the 145 bhp motor and front-wheel drive. The Advance is currently available from £353.40 a month.

Premium

Premium moves to 17-inch alloy wheels and adds a six-way electrically adjustable passenger seat, wireless phone charging, a digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, power-folding door mirrors and rain-sensing wipers. Cloth upholstery, 133 bhp in entry form. The Premium is currently available from £419.56 a month. Against the Advance, that is currently £66.16/mo more expensive.

Ultimate

Ultimate brings 18-inch alloy wheels, Alcantara upholstery, matrix LED headlights, navigation-based smart cruise control with built-in navigation, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, active lane-change assist and privacy glass. The comfort kit most people miss on a cold morning, in other words. The Ultimate is currently available from £456.82 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £37.26/mo more expensive.

N Line Evo

The range-topper pairs sportier N Line looks with 19-inch alloy wheels, a 360-degree camera with around-view monitor, Remote Smart Park Assist for self-steering parking, and a larger 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. Alcantara upholstery again. The N Line Evo is currently available from £476.68 a month. Against the Ultimate, that is currently £19.86/mo more expensive.

Beyond the trims, Hyundai offers an EV Pack, Design Pack and Comfort Pack, plus combinations of the three. Which packs you can add depends on the trim, so check the individual deal - and our guide to choosing your car is worth a read if you're torn between specifications. Paint runs to seven colours: Atlas white, Aurora grey, Fierce red, Ice blue, Lumen grey, Phantom black and Vibrant blue.
