Hyundai's 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT represents a major milestone in combining EV efficiency with true SUV capability. This new trim level brings about rugged improvements, with a focus on drivers wanting to explore some unpaved adventure, while still minimizing impact on the environment.
Design and Performance: Made for the Trail
The first thing that sets the Ioniq 5 XRT apart is the lifted suspension, robust all-terrain tires, and brand new front and rear fascias that add almost an inch of clearance under the body compared to standard models. The changes made to the XRT not only give it a distinct rugged off-road appearance, but aids off-road capability.
The XRT remains a dual-motor that delivers a combined horsepower of 320 and 446 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. The XRT has an 84.0-kWh NCM lithium-ion battery capable of an estimated range of 259 miles. This provides a balance of power and efficiency.
Enhanced Vehicle Comfort Meets Off-Road Capabilities
Inside, the XRT features a driver-focused cabin, which benefits from enhanced seats to provide adequate support on your next off-road adventure. The material resists dirt and dust, which functions well for excursions that may require a little extra cleanup. Exclusive pixel camo accents and XRT badging lend to a distinct look on the inside of this cabin.
While there are limited options for interior color decor, you can expect a very roomy and comfortable cabin with ample room from day-to-day, and for long weekend retreats.
Sophisticated Technology and Connectivity
Hyundai's advanced infotainment system is loaded in the Ioniq 5 XRT, with a big screen and simple touchscreen controls. Every Ioniq 5 XRT is fully compatible with all your connectivity, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
In addition, you can expect a number of safety features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and surround-view cameras assure your peace of mind on and off the road.
Charging and Compatibility
One of the everyday features of the 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT is its compatibility with the North American Charging Standard (NACS), which means the user has direct access to Tesla's Supercharger network as long as they do not use an adapter. The 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT comes with a system known as 800V technology, which enables faster charging. In optimal conditions, the 2025 Ioniq 5 XRT can charge from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes.
Pricing and Availability
The base price of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT is $56,975, while the tested model was priced at $57,700.
