Hyundai has unveiled Concept THREE, its first compact EV under the Ioniq sub-brand, at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.

Built to meet Europe’s growing demand for compact, space-efficient EVs, the Concept THREE combines aerodynamic design with expressive details, including Parametric Pixel lighting and an anodised-effect finish. The cabin focuses on modern and intuitive layouts with a heavy focus on the customisable “Bring Your Own Lifestyle” modules, while sustainable materials — from ocean-waste textiles to aluminium foam — reinforce Hyundai’s eco push.

Appearance-wise, it bears an unmistakable resemblance to one of the Ioniq models. Firstly, it’s sharp in every panel and has sleek lines and creases. The shape could be reminiscent of many older JDM hatchbacks, but the modernised design set down by the Ioniq 6 is present.

Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric Makes Global Debut With Up To 713 KM Range

Not long after BMW introduced the second-gen iX3, Mercedes-Benz has revealed the all-electric version of its popular GLC SUV at the Munich Motor Show in Germany. Named GLC with EQ Tech, this new model sits on a dedicated EV platform with Mercedes claiming it to be good for up to 713 km on a full charge. While electrified, the SUV has a slightly familiar design language that links it to the rest of the GLC range.  

 

Also Read: Mercedes-Benz G 580 EV Review: The Green Beast
 Mercedes Benz GLC Electric Unveiled 1Starting with the design, the GLC with EQ Technology brings a fresh take, albeit on a familiar design template. At a glance, it still looks very much like a GLC, with similar proportions and an overall shape that mirrors its ICE sibling. But some clear visual updates set it apart, one of which is the grille. It is now fully illuminated with 942 tiny LEDs. 

 

The headlights get star-shaped daytime running lights, and the rear features a sleek light bar with star-like LEDs – touches borrowed from the electric CLA. There’s also a subtle roof spoiler that helps with aerodynamics, and according to Mercedes, the electric GLC manages a drag coefficient of just 0.26. As for the profile, 20-inch alloys come standard, but you can bump that up to 21 inches.  

 

Also Read: Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 Launched In India At Rs 1.35 Crore
 Mercedes Benz GLC Electric Unveiled 3
The GLC with EQ Tech has an 84 mm longer wheelbase as compared to the ICE GLC, measuring 2,972 mm. When it comes to storage, the boot space is rated to be 570 litres, plus an additional 128 litres in the frunk.  

 

Coming to the interior, Mercedes has brought back physical buttons and knobs on the steering wheel and centre console, moving away from the touch-sensitive controls seen in many of its recent models. That tactile approach contrasts nicely with the highlight of the cabin, which is the massive (optional) 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen. It stretches across the entire dashboard and merges the digital instrument cluster, central infotainment display, and a passenger screen into one unit.   
 Mercedes Benz GLC Electric Unveiled 4
The cabin also gets extensive ambient lighting running across the dashboard, doors, roofline, and even inside the air vents. Buyers will have plenty of ways to customise the interior too, with a range of materials and trim options on offer. These include Artico or Nappa leather upholstery, along with metallic and carbon fibre trim finishes.  
 Mercedes Benz GLC Electric Unveiled 2
The GLC packs a 94 kWh battery and runs on an 800-volt architecture, which helps it deliver both strong performance and quick charging. It puts out 483 bhp and has a top speed of 210 kmph. On the WLTP cycle, the claimed range is up to 713 km. Charging is fast as with a max capacity of 330 kW, the GLC can add up to 303 km of range in just 10 minutes. Mercedes says that four other versions of the GLC EV will follow, though we expect the battery pack to remain the same.

IAA 2025: Volkswagen ID.Cross Concept Previews Taigun-Sized Electric SUV

Volkswagen's star showcase at this year's IAA Mobility show is an electric SUV concept that provides a look at an upcoming, battery-powered compact SUV. Named the ID.Cross, the latest VW concept is the fourth in a series of concept vehicles Volkswagen has revealed in recent years, which preview its future mass-market electric offerings. The ID.Cross is, from a size standpoint, quite close to the Volkswagen Taigun, and the production model it spawns is expected to be one of Volkswagen's most affordable EVs globally. The ID.Cross has been showcased at IAA 2025 alongside the ID.Polo and ID.Polo GTI, both of which will be revealed in final production form in the first half of 2026.

Volkswagen ID.Cross Concept: Dimensions

 

Based on the VW Group's MEB Plus (MEB+) architecture, the ID.Cross measures in at 4,161 mm in length, 1,839 mm in width and 1,588 mm in height, with a 2,601 mm wheelbase, which means it falls just short of matching the Taigun's dimensions in every dimension except width. 

 

Volkswagen ID.Cross Concept: Performance and Range

 

The ID.Cross is equipped with an electric motor that produces a peak 208 bhp and drives the front wheels only. This will be sufficient to propel the SUV to a top speed of 175 kmph, according to VW, and the company expects this SUV to have a range of up to 420 kilometres (WLTP), though no battery details have been shared at this point.

 

This is a developing story. Please stay tuned for more details.
