What’s New for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5
A lot. Even though 2025 marks just the fourth year of the Ioniq 5, Hyundai takes this model seriously, so there are a bunch of changes and improvements. A bigger battery means more competitive range, which is key for this hot segment, and Hyundai adds new features as well, such as a NACS charging port that makes the Ioniq 5 compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network. Finally, the new Ioniq 5 XRT trim adds off-road styling and capability to this Hyundai EV lineup.
Design
The Ioniq 5 is a small crossover with an athletic design. It’s not quite as bold or aggressive as the related Kia EV6, though it’s attractive and pleasant overall. Muscular fenders showcase new wheel designs for 2025, and updated bumpers and an updated rear spoiler complete the refresh. The all-new Ioniq 5 XRT features a higher ride height, exclusive badging, different front and rear fascias, a pixel-style cladding pattern, and matte black 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, as well as the choice of exclusive Ultimate Red or Cosmic Blue Pearl paints.
Powertrain
For 2025, Hyundai updates the Ioniq 5 with bigger batteries. That means the standard-range models increase from 58.0 to 63.0 kWh, and the long-range models increase from 77.4 to 84 kWh. Hyundai projects the biggest increase in range will be with the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) SE Standard Range version, increasing from 220 to upwards of 240 miles. Other RWD trims will increase from 303 to upwards of 310 miles. For all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions, Hyundai notes that range will go from 260 miles to between 250 and 280. The lower end of that scale likely covers the XRT, which will probably have lower range due to its all-terrain tires and higher stance; Hyundai notes that the increase in range for other models depends largely on wheel size.
Interior
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 seats five passengers across its two rows. Across the lineup, the 2025 model gets updates to its steering wheel, center console, and HVAC control designs. Heated rear seats now come standard on all but the base trim, joining standard cloth upholstery and heated front seats. Options include synthetic leather seating, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free power liftgate, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and heated front seats. The new XRT gets a black headliner and uniquely patterned seats. Cargo space is about average for the class. The frunk measures about one cubic foot, and there are 27.2 cubic feet behind the second row, opening up to a total of 59.3 cubic feet.
Technology
The 2025 Ioniq 5 features a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen display with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, capable of over-the-air (OTA) updates. The Hyundai Digital Key system comes with all but the base trim. Hyundai supplies five USB-C ports. The 2025 Ioniq 5 also makes a switch to the North American Charging Standard (NACS), with a charging port compatible with the Tesla Supercharger network. It will also include a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter to allow it to work with other types of chargers.
