This positions it as a smaller, more affordable alternative to the Ioniq 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Indian buyers, this is a very important development because it signals Hyundai\u2019s plan to expand its EV portfolio beyond premium offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If launched in India, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carbikebhp.com\/new-cars\/hyundai\/\">Ioniq 3<\/a><\/strong> could become a strong rival in the \u20b915\u2013\u20b925 lakh EV segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Hyundai Ioniq 3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is a new compact electric vehicle positioned
