MUNICH/SEOUL, September 9, 2025 – Hyundai Motor Company has unveiled Concept THREE, its first compact electric vehicle (EV) concept under the IONIQ sub-brand, at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.
The debut represents Hyundai Motor’s commitment to offering exceptional EVs in a rapidly evolving global market, where the focus shifts from technological advancement to experiences of emotional fulfillment.
At IAA Mobility 2025, Hyundai Motor will also showcase its full EV lineup and outline its European electrification strategy, reinforcing its role as a leader in Europe’s transition to clean energy.
At the heart of Hyundai Motor’s participation at IAA Mobility 2025 is the global debut of Concept THREE, an innovative compact EV concept that represents the next step in the company’s electrification journey.
As the first compact EV concept under the IONIQ sub-brand, Concept THREE signals Hyundai Motor’s future expansion into a new vehicle category, complementing its existing midsize and large EV models.
With Europe experiencing a surging demand for compact EVs — driven by urbanization, sustainability regulations and the growing need for space-efficient solutions — the Concept THREE demonstrates Hyundai Motor’s vision for meeting this demand by drawing on its advanced electrification capabilities.
Complementing its strategic positioning, Concept THREE’s innovative design also underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering a meaningful, emotionally resonant experience in an accessible and practical package.
Hyundai Motor anticipates the introduction of Concept THREE to set the tone for its next chapter of design innovation and strengthen its competitive position in the electrification journey.
“Returning to IAA Mobility after four years away is a true milestone, and such as occasion deserves a milestone car,” said Xavier Martinet, President and CEO of Hyundai Motor Europe. “Concept THREE represents the next step in Hyundai Motor’s electrification journey. With its compact dimensions and Art of Steel design language, it embodies our vision of delivering mobility that is practical, accessible and emotionally resonant”.
Hyundai Motor views Europe as a hub of innovation in the EV era, driven by its diverse cultures, advanced environmental policies and urban-focused mobility needs. The region’s demand for compact, sustainable vehicles positions Europe at the center of the company’s global electrification goals.
Nearly 80 percent of Hyundai Motor vehicles sold in Europe are locally manufactured, reflecting the brand’s deep integration and ability to tailor solutions to the unique mobility needs of both urban areas and rural communities.
Key elements of Hyundai Motor’s electrification roadmap for Europe include:
Compact EVs play a critical role in addressing Europe’s urban challenges, as exemplified by the debut of the Concept THREE at IAA Mobility 2025, underscoring Hyundai Motor’s mission to make electrification accessible and attractive for European consumers.
Hyundai Motor’s participation at IAA Mobility 2025 marks a major milestone, as the company returns to Europe’s largest mobility event for the first time in four years. With 750 exhibitors and over 500,000 visitors expected from 110 countries, IAA Mobility represents not just a showcase of mobility innovation but a critical platform for engaging with Europe’s largest EV market.
IAA Mobility has evolved significantly since 2021, transforming from a traditional motor show to a city-wide event that spans from Munich’s Messe exhibition halls to the open space in the city center. This format allows brands to directly engage with consumers in immersive and interactive ways, making it a perfect stage for Hyundai Motor’s ambition to lead Europe’s electrification movement.
Hyundai Motor will draw eyes at the IAA Open Space with a 58-meter-wide, 7-meter-tall booth located in Munich’s bustling city center, Ludwigstraße. Inspired by Parametric Pixel, a key design element on Hyundai Motor vehicles, the booth features six oversized glass pixels that exude a commanding presence. This design reinforces Hyundai Motor’s commitment to innovation and emotive design leadership while creating a striking visual presence that stands out among competitors.
Key highlights of Hyundai Motor’s booth include:
Completing the experience, the 'Hyundai AddGear' display — showcasing the solution for flexible item mounting in the vehicle — lets visitors experience modular in-car accessories firsthand.
IAA Mobility is not just an exhibition; it is a global stage for the future of mobility. Hyundai Motor’s return to the event in 2025 reinforces its ambition to lead in the European EV market, leveraging the IAA Mobility as a platform to redefine urban mobility and introduce the next chapter of its electrification journey.
