Does Hyundai not want to sell the Ioniq 3 in Poland? In the United Kingdom, its price is slightly higher than the i20 and lower than the Bayon.
The Hyundai Ioniq 3 is the star of Hyundai’s British website. It is available there with additional costs, but even without them, its price is so high that it’s something we can only dream of in Poland. Including the purchase cost—which isn’t required if we return the car after four years of leasing—the version with a larger battery of ~64 (61) kWh is priced at the equivalent of 145,800 zlotys [total down payment]. If we go to the dealership with cash, the price of the Hyundai Ioniq 3 starts at 115,900 zlotys!

Hyundai Ioniq 3. Pretty, expensive
The alternative universe east of the Oder
We live in a paradox. Electric cars sell poorly in Poland, so some distributors don’t make an effort to drive down prices. As a result, electric cars remain expensive and unsold — a vicious cycle. Additionally, an indirect consequence of this deadlock is that Poles become poorer as they spend heavily on fuel instead of using cheap electricity. In short: we are too poor to save, and our environment doesn’t help either. By comparison, the United Kingdom, one of Europe’s largest BEV markets, is a paradise on Earth.
The Hyundai Ioniq 3 Advance with a battery of ~64 (61) kWh is available there for 21,995 pounds (equivalent to 115,900 PLN, or 118,800 PLN when accounting for VAT differences) if paid upfront. We can also lease it for four years and one month, with a mileage limit of 9,660 kilometers per year. In that case, the initial deposit is equivalent to 1,870 PLN, after which we must pay 48 nearly identical installments (equivalent to 1,869.4 PLN each). Of course, after the lease period ends, we end up with nothing unless we decide to buy it for an equivalent amount of 54,225 PLN.
The price for cash payment is slightly higher than the base price of the i20 variant (20,010 pounds) and lower than the prices of the Hyundai Bayon (starting at 24,065 pounds). Even if the government subsidy of 3,750 pounds is excluded, it would still be only slightly higher than the Bayon.

Meanwhile, in Poland, the distributor already limits price reductions from the very beginning. The 16-inch wheels from the British Advance version (shown above) are only available in the base Select edition, which is sold only with a smaller battery of ~44 (42.2) kWh. There, we pay around 118,800 zlotys for that equipment, small wheels, and large battery, while here the price for a small battery starts at 125,900 zlotys. If we want better range, we must upgrade to the higher Trend edition (starting at 142,900 zlotys) and change the battery (starting at 158,900 zlotys). In the end, we can only rely on a “loyalty bonus” of a 10,000 zloty discount.
The heat pump is like coffee and a seatbelt—it’s mandatory. It can’t be omitted, so it raises our base price by 3,500 zlotys (on the right):
