Hence the chassis is basically front-motor, front-wheel-drive with the possibility to add the rear motor to make it AWD.

Maybe it would be possible to make a version with only the rear motor, but if the audience is willing to pay more for that, why not use the 800 V platform which is designed for this layout in the first place?

FWD is cheaper to make though due to battery arrangement, that is why they went with this configuration for more affordable, smaller cars like EV3, EV4. There obviously is enough space in EV3 to put an extra motor at the rear, but it would increase the price out of the "practical" range most likely. If they aim for Golf GTI segment with this Ioniq 3 it is totally plausible they can make it RWD - target audience will pay up extra.

"Customers will likely have a choice between single-motor (rear-wheel drive) and dual-motor (all-wheel drive) configurations."

I expect neither, but instead FWD - since EV3's platform only offers that so far (the AWD version has been told about since the beginning but still not seen). I wouldn't blame if it was RWD though, just because of the looks alone, but other layouts tend to perform better in the northern winter conditions of where I live...
