HYUNDAI has released a new teaser image of the Concept THREE, the IONIQ sub-brand's first-ever compact EV concept.

Hyundai has also confirmed the model's name as Concept THREE ahead of its global debut at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.

The Korean car maker says the THREE's side profile reveals an energetic stance, shaped by Hyundai's design language, Art of Steel.

It is inspired by the way steel bends and flows, the body features sculpted surfaces, clean intersections and distinctive character lines that emphasize both motion and precision.

While further details remain under wraps, Concept THREE will make its global debut at IAA Mobility 2025, held in Munich from September 9 to 14.

Hyundai Motor's participation in Europe's largest mobility showcase marks its return to the event after four years.

"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 Centre. "We defined the ‘Aero Hatch' typology to craft a silhouette that captures a sense of flow and becomes a beautifully proportioned sculpture."

Manuel Schoettle, exterior designer of 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."
