“The Ioniq 5 N is a very high performance car that is fun to drive, charges quickly, and looks good. It does NOT offer the high-end amenities of the top level Ioniq 5 (non-N). The software needs some work. The summer tires are poor below 30 degrees F, even on dry pavement it will slide without too much pushing.”
2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a major mid-cycle update that brings larger batteries, more driving range, and a standard NACS charge port. It also gains refreshed styling, useful cabin upgrades, and a new XRT trim for light off-pavement use.
About the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5
1st generation (2022-present in the U.S.), mid-cycle refresh year
Hyundai positions the IONIQ 5 as a design-forward electric SUV that mixes quick charging, strong real-world usefulness, and a roomy cabin with a distinctive retro-futuristic look. Its core appeal is that it feels more spacious and upscale than many compact EV rivals while also standing out for 800-volt fast-charging capability, long-range availability, and easy everyday comfort. For most shoppers, it is the practical, style-led Hyundai EV that balances tech, comfort, and charging speed better than a plain appliance-like crossover.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 lineup ranges from the straightforward SE Standard Range to the longer-range SE and more comfort-focused SEL. Limited is the premium version, with a panoramic glass roof, a head-up display, ventilated front seats, Bose audio, and extra camera aids. The new AWD-only XRT takes a more rugged approach with a 23 mm suspension lift, terrain settings, tow hooks, and tougher-looking bumpers.

2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5
(22 reviews)
“This vehicle is for performance minded track ready individuals. Its purpose is to bring life back into electric only driving. If you're the type of person who looks forward to spirited driving on the regular, it's great! If you're not looking for that, just get one of the standard ioniq 5's. They're also great cars.”
“Hate the top bumps on the steering wheel, uncomfortable positioning. Also can not see the blue console lights for A/C during the day.”
