Hyundai has revealed the 2025 Ioniq 5 lineup’s cost, which is a little more. However, the EV should be more appealing because of its extended range and integrated Tesla NACS connection.
Starting at $42,500 ($43,975 with destination cost), the entry-level SE rear-wheel drive Standard Range model is more expensive than the 2024 model, which had a starting price of $41,800. Thanks mostly to a larger 63kWh battery (up from 58kWh), it has an EPA-estimated range of 245 miles, which is a 25-mile gain over the 2024 model.
The SE RWD, SEL RWD, and Limited RWD models are the range leaders. Thanks to an 84kWh battery pack (up from 77.4kWh), all of these 2025 Ioniq 5 trims are said to have a range of 318 miles, which is an improvement above the 303 miles of last year. The SEL and Limited are priced at $49,500 and $54,200, respectively, while the SE will cost you $46,550 before the destination fee.
The dual-motor all-wheel drive setups are the ones that will receive some of the largest improvements. The range of the SE AWD and SEL AWD grades increases from 260 to 290 miles. Although the Limited AWD has only increased slightly—from 260 to 269 miles—Hyundai seems to have made some progress in bridging the gap between AWD and RWD vehicles. The SEL and Limited models cost $53,000 and $58,100, respectively, while the SE AWD costs $50.00 before the destination fee.
The starting price of the new tough XRT model for 2025 (seen above) is $55,400 before destination. As previously stated, it receives customized body cladding, specialized fascias, all-terrain tires, 18-inch wheels, and a 0.9-inch increase in ground clearance. Inside, you’ll discover more durable seating and a terrain driving mode selection that is exclusive to XRT.
This model line is eligible for a $3,750 federal EV tax credit with a purchase and the full $7,500 with a lease because it is the first produced at Hyundai’s new Georgia facility.
All standard 2025 Ioniq 5 models come with updated spoilers and bumpers, more aerodynamic wheels, flush roof rails, and an optional (and highly desired) rear windshield wiper.
On the inside, SEL levels come with heated rear seats, a redesigned steering wheel, and more user-friendly (and tactile) HVAC controls. Improved smart cruise control, USB-C connections, the most recent Bluetooth/NFC digital vehicle key compatibility (again SEL and above), wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and over-the-air controller upgrades are all features of the 12.3-inch infotainment system.
Driver assistance is becoming prevalent. In addition to parking distance indications (front and back for all models, on the side for XRT and Limited), there is a forward attention alert for all vehicles. The SE has a blind spot collision alert, while the SEL and higher have avoidance assistance. Advanced rear occupant alerts are also available for the SEL and higher, and remote smart parking aids and parking collision avoidance assistance are available for the XRT and Limited.
For many, the native Tesla NACS support will be the high point. Although a CCS adapter is available if necessary, you may now connect to a Supercharger and benefit from the Ioniq 5’s quick 800V design. Using NACS, Hyundai calculates that it will take 30 minutes to charge an 84kWh model from 10% to 80%. Although it’s not as quick as the 20 minutes you’ll get at 250kW chargers with CCS from other suppliers, you’ll have access to a much wider network of charging stations that should enable you to travel across the country.
Using CCS at a 50kW charger, you should be able to fill up that same car in 81 minutes. Recharging your automobile at home with a 240V power connector will take seven hours and twenty minutes.
This is, in some respects, the most significant Ioniq 5 release to date, if not the most significant recent EV release from the Hyundai group outside of the Kia EV9 SUV. One of the most well-liked non-Tesla EVs available was the Ioniq 5. It now boasts a more sophisticated design, a greater range, and considerably stronger charging support. Though not necessarily its charging stations, it could be the preferred choice if politics or quality issues are turning you off from Tesla’s cars.
