Hyundai has announced the updated 2025 IONIQ 5, now with increased battery capacity, longer range, and advanced features. The refreshed electric vehicle lineup starts at $43,975 for the SE RWD Standard Range, while the new off-road-ready XRT model is priced at $56,875. With a focus on innovation, this U.S.-made EV promises enhanced driving experiences, ultra-fast charging, and access to a vast network of chargers nationwide.
Enhanced Performance and Range
The 2025 IONIQ 5 lineup boasts a range of powertrains and driving ranges tailored to different needs. The SE RWD delivers up to 318 miles on a full charge, thanks to a larger 84-kWh battery, while the Limited AWD trim offers 269 miles of EPA-estimated range. The XRT trim, designed for adventure, features all-terrain tires, a lifted suspension, and terrain modes for snow, sand, and mud. This rugged trim is ideal for those who enjoy off-road escapades, with 259 miles of range and dual-motor AWD for increased capability.
Ultra-Fast Charging and Nationwide Access
Charging is made more convenient with the 2025 IONIQ 5’s new North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, providing access to 36,000 NACS and CCS fast chargers across the U.S. The IONIQ 5 can charge from 10-80% in just 20 minutes when using a 350-kW DC fast charger. This ultra-fast charging capability ensures that road trips and daily commutes are more seamless than ever before. The 2025 models also come with a complimentary Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter, offering compatibility with legacy charging infrastructure.
Designed for Comfort and Technology
Inside, the IONIQ 5 has undergone several updates to enhance both driver and passenger comfort. The redesigned HVAC controls, a more ergonomic center console, and new steering wheel provide a more intuitive experience. Heated rear seats are now available on higher trims like the SEL, and the new infotainment system features a 12.3-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration as standard. Hyundai Digital Key 2 is also available, allowing seamless entry and operation through smartphones and smartwatches.
XRT Model: Built for Adventure
The IONIQ 5 XRT is a standout in the 2025 lineup. Designed for off-road capability, it features unique black 18-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, and digital camouflage cladding. The XRT also comes with a dedicated Terrain Mode, front tow hooks, and increased ground clearance, making it the perfect choice for adventurers. Exclusive colors like Ultimate Red and Cosmic Blue Pearl, along with XRT-specific badging, give this model a rugged and distinct look.
Safety Upgrades
Safety is a priority in the 2025 IONIQ 5, with standard features such as Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Forward Attention Warning, and Advanced Rear Occupant Alert. New for this year are Parking Distance Warning and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist, with features such as Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 available on higher trims like the XRT and Limited.
