Hyundai has just unveiled the 2025 IONIQ 5 lineup, packed with upgrades, enhanced performance, and even an off-road-ready variant, ensuring there's something for every type of driver. Manufactured at Hyundai’s new Metaplant in Georgia, this U.S.-made EV family is a blend of cutting-edge technology, environmental consciousness, and a dash of rugged adventure—all while offering competitive pricing and substantial federal tax incentives. Here’s a look at what Hyundai has brought to the table with the 2025 IONIQ 5.
Stepping outside the box, Hyundai has introduced the all-new IONIQ 5 XRT, designed for drivers looking to explore beyond paved roads. This model features an all-wheel-drive system paired with an 84-kWh battery, delivering the power and endurance necessary for rough terrains. With a higher ground clearance, rugged 18-inch alloy wheels, and unique all-terrain tires, the XRT is equipped to tackle snow, sand, and mud. The stylish details—like blacked-out trims, digital camouflage cladding, and an exclusive XRT badge—add a layer of sophistication to this trailblazer. Starting at $56,875, the XRT is as bold as it is capable.
Impressive Range and Fast Charging
The 2025 IONIQ 5 Long Range RWD stands out with an EPA-estimated range of 318 miles on a single charge, giving drivers the freedom to travel further with fewer stops. And thanks to its North American Charging Standard (NACS) port and CCS adapter, the IONIQ 5 grants access to over 36,000 fast-charging stations nationwide. Need a quick top-up? The IONIQ 5’s ultra-fast charging capability can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes using a 350-kW charger—ideal for busy schedules and spontaneous road trips.
Designed with Comfort and Connectivity in Mind
Hyundai has redefined comfort in the cabin with upgrades like redesigned HVAC controls, a new steering wheel, and heated rear seats for the SEL trim and above. The IONIQ 5 also comes with a 12.3-inch infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, making it easier than ever to stay connected on the road. Hyundai’s Digital Key 2 Premium, available on SEL and higher trims, adds a futuristic touch with NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy capabilities, ensuring a seamless entry experience.
Safety and Convenience Upgrades Across the Board
The 2025 IONIQ 5 is built with safety as a priority, featuring advanced systems like Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Forward Attention Warning, and Hyundai’s innovative Remote Smart Parking Assist 2. These enhancements not only increase passenger safety but also make parking and maneuvering a breeze.
Stylish New Look and Exclusive Colors
The IONIQ 5 has received a subtle facelift, with reimagined front and rear bumpers, a sleeker rear spoiler, and a new rear windshield wiper. For those who want to stand out, Hyundai has introduced exclusive new colors, including Ultimate Red and Cosmic Blue Pearl for the XRT, alongside other matte finishes like Atlas White and Celadon Gray for a refined, modern look.
Starting at Just $43,975
The updated IONIQ 5 lineup begins at $43,975 for the SE RWD Standard Range, with options extending to the top-tier Limited AWD at $58,100. With federal tax incentives of up to $7,500, Hyundai has made it easier for Americans to go green without breaking the bank. The 2025 IONIQ 5 will hit dealerships by the end of the year, ready to redefine what it means to drive electric.
