Hyundai Unveils Concept Three at Munich Motor Show, First Compact Electric of the Ioniq Line. Prototype Combines Innovative Design, Sustainability, and Focus on the European Market.

The Hyundai officially revealed the Concept Three during IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich. The prototype marks a new chapter for the Ioniq line, highlighting the brand’s entry into the compact electric segment, as reported by Inside EVs on Tuesday, September 9.

This strategy emphasizes the importance of the European market for the automaker, which aims to combine bold design, sustainability, and technological innovation.

Design Inspired by Steel and Urban Proportions

Measuring 4.28 meters in length, 1.94 m in width, and 1.42 m in height, the Concept Three features balanced dimensions for urban use. The 2.72 m wheelbase ensures more interior space, while the “Art of Steel” design language showcases sculptural forms inspired by steel.

The prototype also features Parametric Pixel lighting at the ends and adopts the Aero Hatch profile, which combines aerodynamics and practicality for city life. The anodized effect finish and yellow details, also applied to the wheels, reinforce the model’s futuristic character.

Inside, Hyundai focused on simple and functional lines. Highlights include the customization options with “Bring Your Own Lifestyle (BYOL)” modules, allowing the environment to be adapted to the driver’s needs.

Additionally, the car includes a playful element named “Mr. Pix”, present in visual and interactive details, creating a unique experience.

The Concept Three also stands out for its use of recycled materials. The cabin features fabrics made from ocean waste, reclaimed wool, and lightweight aluminum foam.

This choice underscores Hyundai’s commitment to developing solutions with lower environmental impact while maintaining sophistication in automotive design.

Europe at the Center of the Electric Strategy

The presentation of the Concept Three confirms Hyundai’s priority to accelerate electrification in Europe. The brand has already announced plans to offer electric versions of all its models on the continent by 2027.

Furthermore, it plans to launch 21 new electric vehicles worldwide by 2030.

Today, approximately 80% of Hyundai cars sold in the region are manufactured locally, which helps meet the demands of European consumers.

The automaker is also investing in hydrogen technology development and in adopting renewable energy production processes.

Experience at IAA Mobility 2025

The Concept Three was showcased in an open space of 58 meters, inspired by the Parametric Pixel theme. In addition, Hyundai presented other studies, such as INSTEROID, and displayed models already available on the market, including the Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 N, Ioniq 9, Kona Electric, and the newly launched Inster.

During the event, the public also had access to test drives with nine electrified vehicles, including plug-in hybrids such as the Tucson and Santa Fe, along with new offerings from the Ioniq line.

With the Concept Three, Hyundai signals its entry into one of the most competitive segments in Europe: compact electric vehicles. There is no confirmation yet on when or if the model will be produced globally. However, the concept clearly indicates the path the brand intends to take in the sustainable mobility sector.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

China has just successfully tested the world’s first ground effect maritime vehicle, a craft that flies up to 6 meters above the water at 200 km/h, uses quantum technology and 6G communication, and can rescue patients in the middle of the ocean.

Yerba mate crisis hits the Northern Plateau of SC: a bumper crop in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina collapses the market, pressuring industries and producers, while labor shortages and cheaper competition amplify the problem in one of the country’s most traditional regions.

6 scientists warn of a silent loss of water in Brazil: more than half of the evaluated rivers may be draining into underground aquifers, while 17,972 wells reveal increasing pressure on supply, ecosystems, and water security.

Paraná takes a historic step to include Korean language instruction in public schools with direct support from the government of South Korea, which will offer free training for teachers, teaching materials, and complete pedagogical support for the state school system.

The sky of the Atacama allows for the naked-eye view of the Milky Way and houses the most powerful telescopes on the planet, but it may not last: light pollution is advancing uncontrollably, Chilean legislation is weak, and scientists fear losing this treasure of global science forever.
