- According to reports, Hyundai’s new Ioniq 3 will come with Apple Carplay Ultra
- It would be the next car after Aston Martin DBX to get access to software
- This could mean more affordable access to the telephone interface for Apple Infota.
You may not need a $ 200,000 Aston Martin car to access Apple’s Carplay Ultra in the near future, since Hyundai seems ready to take the interface to its electric cars.
According to Top Gear, who reported that the Ioniq 3, which will be revealed in the Munich Motor Show this month, will admit Carplay Ultra, allowing a deeper integration between the information and entertainment system of a car and a connected iPhone that the standard erosion of the Carplay offers.
Instead of positioning between the INSER and Kona Ev de Hyundai, the Ioniq 3 is ready to be a compact electric car that is filled with connected technology. Top Gear points out that, like other automobile manufacturers, all this is part of Hyundai’s impulse to equip their cars with software designed to update throughout your life and can be personalized by car brands and end users with applications, even those that buy used cars.
In many ways, this approach to information and entertainment software is similar to how smartphones, tablets and computers work, with updates that are implemented in their entire lives and allow users a degree of choice and customization with the services and applications they want.

In the past, information and entertainment systems would often be outdated when a car left the production line and would be difficult to update unless the brand offered firmware updates through concessionaires. Or the car owners opted for third -party after -sales units.
Carplay Ultra is remarkable in this case, since it has been designed to integrate more closely with the underlying infotainment platform, allowing cars brands to create personalized issues in collaboration with Apple that adapt to each vehicle instead of offering a single interface.
Currently, Carplay Ultra can be found in the new Aston Martin DBX, a performance luxury SUV with a considerable price. But more car brands, especially those with cheaper vehicles, are ready to adopt Carplay Ultra. And it seems that Hyundai could be one of the main ones.
As for the Ioniq 3, Top Gear reports that it will be a front -wheel drive car with a 260 mile and 365 miles of an expected choice of batteries that arrive in capabilities of 58.3kWh or 81.4kWh, respectively. A 400 volt load system is expected. And the car could do the 0-62 MPH sprint in less than eight seconds.
It is not known about prices, but the Kona starts at $ 24,550, so it would expect the Ioniq 3 to be more expensive, but it arrives well below $ 40,000, since the Ioniq 5 starts at $ 42,600; Market prices vary greatly, so to keep things simple, I have focused on the prices of the United States here. Production for Ioniq 3 is inclined to the beginning of next year.
Time will say if other car manufacturers adopt Carplay Ultra this year, but do not wait for any great ads on the Apple side, since it is surely concentrated in the launch of the iPhone 17, which we hope to see on September 9 at the next Apple event.
