Hyundai Ioniq 3 review

Not that much, which is the best news possible. Hyundai has clearly worked very hard behind the scenes to get the maximum £3,750 Electric Car Grant – something the Cupra Raval doesn’t get. Still, most people aren’t likely to use that to buy the most affordable Advance model. You could have one of those for £18,495, which is a steal, but instead the best seller is likely to be the flagship £28,195 N Line Evo with all the trimmings.

For what it’s worth, we’d recommend the £26,195 Ultimate. Big battery, pretty much all of the kit you want without it getting ideas above its station. That means you get the smaller 12.9in central touchscreen, but it's paired with essentials like heated seats and a heated steering wheel, plus you get matrix LED headlights, 18in wheels and a wireless phone charger. This also opens up the option for the £1,500 panoramic roof, and you'll want to spend another £1,250 on the EV Pack for its heat pump.

Overall, every Ioniq 3 looks pretty compelling value alongside most rivals though and that can only be a positive thing. Hyundai isn’t saying how many they expect to sell, but with pricing this competitive we can guarantee you’ll be seeing lots on the road in the coming months.

How much will I pay on finance?

A great question. Prices start at a seriously impressive £188 per month for the entry-level Advance trim with the small battery. That's on a three-year deal with a £5,000 deposit and a 10,000-mile-per-year limit. 

If you specced up our preferred Ultimate trim with the bigger battery and the two optional packs (list price £28,945), the same finance terms would see you spending £427 per month.
