Hyundai Motor is building excitement for its upcoming compact electric vehicle (EV) as it unveils a new teaser image and officially announces Concept THREE. This marks the first compact EV concept from the IONIQ sub-brand.
Following initial teasers last week, Hyundai has now confirmed the name, Concept THREE, ahead of its global debut at the IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, which runs from September 9–14.
A Look at the Design
The new image offers a glimpse into the future-forward design of Concept THREE. Its profile reveals a bold, energetic stance that draws from Hyundai’s “Art of Steel” design language. Inspired by the way steel bends, the body features sculpted surfaces and clean lines that highlight both motion and precision. This expressive side view also previews the “Aero Hatch,” a new design that reimagines the compact EV silhouette.
“Designing the Concept THREE was an opportunity for us to rethink the compact EV from the ground up,” said Simon Loasby, Head of Hyundai Design Center. “We defined the ‘Aero Hatch’ typology to craft a silhouette that captures a sense of flow and becomes a beautifully proportioned sculpture.”
Returning to the Global Stage
Hyundai’s participation in IAA Mobility 2025, Europe’s largest mobility showcase, marks its return to the event after four years. This move reaffirms the company’s commitment to the European market and its leadership in sustainable innovation.
Further details about Concept THREE and its role in redefining the compact EV segment will be revealed during Hyundai’s press conference on September 9.
