Hyundai Ioniq 3 to bring Apple CarPlay Ultra to an affordable EV

Hyundai plans to equip the upcoming Ioniq 3 — a small, budget-friendly electric hatchback — with Apple CarPlay Ultra, a next-generation CarPlay experience that until now has mostly appeared in high-end vehicles such as the Aston Martin DBX.

Why this matters

  • CarPlay Ultra offers deeper iPhone integration across vehicle displays, including instrument clusters, with a native-like experience.
  • Until recently, CarPlay Ultra was limited to very expensive vehicles (Aston Martin DBX, etc.). Putting it in a compact EV could make advanced in-car iPhone integration widely accessible.
  • The Ioniq 3 is expected to be price-competitive thanks to production in Turkey and modern EV features like OTA updates and customizable EV sounds.

Key points

  • Model: Hyundai Ioniq 3 (small, affordable EV)
  • Feature: Apple CarPlay Ultra (deeper dashboard integration)
  • Context: CarPlay Ultra previously seen in premium cars (Aston Martin DBX ~€180k)
