hyundai's best-selling electric car, the ioniq 5, has been receiving a lot of praise for its retro-chic design, excellent driving range, and smooth ride. the 2025 ioniq 5 is now available in north america in an improved version, the xrt!, which is also equipped with a nacs charging port that can utilize tesla chargers.

ioniq 5xrt is the second new personalized version after the high-performance trim ioniq 5n. hyundai uses a suspension lift of about 2.3 cm (0.9 inches) and independent suspension adjustment on the xrt model. tires more suitable for off-road are installed on 18-inch wheels. since the battery is carried on the floor, there is no additional lower protection, but mild off-road driving should be sufficient.

the exterior changes are the use of black front and rear bumpers. the xrt trim is available in two unique colors: "ultimit red" and "cosmic blue". the front is equipped with a red towing ring, which can tow up to 2.6 tons. the approach and departure angles are 19.8 degrees and 30.0 degrees respectively, making it more suitable for off-road driving than the current model.

the battery capacity of the 2025 ioniq 5 is higher than before. the battery capacity of the base model has increased from 58 kwh to 63 kwh. the battery capacity of the long-range version has been expanded from 77.4 kwh to 84 kwh. the driving range depends on the configuration and the size of the wheels.

the xrt model is equipped with a larger battery and a dual-motor awd system. it provides performance suitable for off-road driving. hyundai did not mention the power figures of the new trim, but considering that the previous dual-motor version offered 320 horsepower and 49.5 pound-feet of torque, it is not expected to change much.

another major change to the ioniq 5 is the introduction of a nacs (north american charging standard) style charging port. with this port, the ioniq 5 can use tesla's more than 17,000 superchargers. in addition, all vehicles also include a ccs adapter, which allows charging even at charging stations that are not compatible with the charging port.

hyundai introduced a new bumper design in another update for the 2025 ioniq 5. interior updates include a new air conditioning system layout, usb-c ports, seat heating adjustments, wireless apple carplay and android auto.
