2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5: Electric SUV Range, Specifications, and Photos
Hyundai’s giving the Ioniq 5 a major overhaul for the 2025 model year, and the electric crossover is looking better than ever. For starters, there’s a brand-new XRT trim level that’s all about off-road cred. This thing’s got a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system, a bigger battery pack, and a host of styling cues that scream “off-road ready.” Think black exterior trim, unique 18-inch wheels, and a redesigned front end. The suspension’s also been lifted to improve the approach and departure angles – it’s not a hardcore off-roader, but it’ll definitely be more capable than the regular Ioniq 5.
The XRT trim bears a striking resemblance to the upcoming Rivian R3, so if you were thinking Hyundai was copying that design, you’re not entirely wrong. But the similarities stop there – the Ioniq 5’s still a unique beast.
The other trim levels get some minor updates too, including new bumpers, a redesigned rear spoiler, and more aerodynamic wheels. Inside, the center console’s been reworked, and there are physical buttons for the heated front seats. Heated rear seats are now standard on some trims, and the wireless charging pad’s been relocated.
You’ll also find a 12.3-inch touchscreen running the latest version of Hyundai’s infotainment system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Oh, and it can receive over-the-air software updates, which means Hyundai can remotely roll out new features.
The lineup still includes rear- and all-wheel-drive models, as well as a Standard Range and an Extended Range battery pack. The Standard pack’s capacity has increased from 58 to 63 kilowatt hours, while the Long Range pack’s gone from 77.4 to 84 kilowatt hours. All-wheel-drive trims can drive for up to 280 miles on a charge, depending on the wheel and tire combination. Rear-wheel-drive models are rated for up to 310 miles, except for the SE Standard Range, which gets 240 miles.
And here’s the best part: the 2025 Ioniq 5 is the first Hyundai to be equipped with a charging port compatible with Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS) technology. That means you’ll be able to use the 17,000-plus Supercharger stations in the US without needing an adapter. Every new or refreshed Hyundai EV will gain NACS compatibility in late 2024.
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will start rolling out across the US in the fall of 2024, and since it’s built in Georgia, it’s eligible for a $3,750 tax credit. Leased Ioniq 5s, meanwhile, still qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit.
