Hyundai Motor on Tuesday released a teaser image of a new compact electric vehicle (EV) concept model under the automaker's Ioniq line, ahead of its world premiere at an international auto show in Germany next week.
The debut of the model, named Concept Three, at the IAA Mobility 2025, slated to be held from September 9-14 in Munich, will mark Hyundai's return to Europe's largest mobility trade show after four years, underscoring its renewed focus on the European market and sustainable innovation.
The design sketch image highlights the model's future-oriented styling. Its side profile features a bold stance defined by Hyundai's design philosophy, named Art of Steel.
The sculpted surfaces, sharp intersections and distinctive character lines also emphasize both dynamism and precision, Hyundai said.
"Designing the Concept Three was an opportunity for us to rethink the compact EV from the ground up," said Simon Loasby, senior vice president and head of Hyundai Design Center.
Manuel Schoettle, exterior designer of the Concept Three, added, "The authenticity of the way we treated the steel fits perfectly. It just felt natural, making the Concept Three extremely pure, and hopefully it will bring a smile to your face."
