Hyundai Motor UK has launched its biggest-ever competition, giving one member of the public the chance to win an all-new IONIQ 3. Running from 17th July to 31st October 2026, the initiative invites the public to visit participating locations across the UK where the all-new IONIQ 3 will be on display and create a short social media video featuring the vehicle for the chance to drive one home.
The competition forms part of the wider IONIQ 3 launch campaign, designed to generate excitement and advocacy for Hyundai's latest electric model through user-generated content. Throughout the campaign, the all-new IONIQ 3 will appear at a range of public events across the UK, including the Bristol Balloon Fiesta and the British Motor Show, as well as at dedicated Hyundai retailer events. Cars are also expected to begin arriving in Hyundai retailer showrooms across the country from October, giving even more people the opportunity to visit their local retailer, capture their content and take part in the competition.
To enter, participants simply need to visit one of the participating locations, capture a creative short-form video featuring the static IONIQ 3, and post it to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or YouTube Shorts tagging @HyundaiUK and using the hashtags #IONIQ3 and #WinAnIONIQ3. Full details, terms and conditions, and a list of participating locations can be found at hyundai.co.uk.
Entries will be assessed by a judging panel on four criteria: creativity and originality, content quality and execution, accuracy of any product information, and engagement potential. The panel will shortlist the five highest-scoring entries, which will then be published across Hyundai UK's Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube channels. The entry with the highest social media engagement over a two-week period will be declared the winner and receive the keys to an all-new IONIQ 3 from their nearest Hyundai retailer.
The IONIQ 3 represents the latest chapter in Hyundai's expanding electric vehicle line-up. The competition offers people across the UK the opportunity to discover the vehicle in person, showcase their creativity and be in with the chance of winning Hyundai's newest electric model.
