Hyundai has announced pricing for the 2025 Ioniq 5 lineup, and it’s slightly more expensive — but longer ranges and a built-in Tesla NACS port should make the EV more compelling.
The entry SE rear-wheel drive Standard Range model starts at $42,500 ($43,975 with destination fee), or a bump up from the 2024 version’s $41,800 starting price. It has an EPA-estimated range of 245 miles, a 25-mile jump over the 2024 model owed mostly to a larger 63kWh battery (an increase from 58kWh).
The range champions are the SE RWD, SEL RWD, and Limited RWD models. All of these 2025 Ioniq 5 trims get a claimed 318 miles of range, an improvement over last year’s 303 thanks to an 84kWh power pack (up from 77.4kWh). The SE will cost you $46,550 before the destination fee, while the SEL and Limited are respectively priced at $49,500 and $54,200.
Some of the biggest upgrades are reserved for the dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations. The SE AWD and SEL AWD trims jump from 260 miles of range to 290. The Limited AWD has only climbed a modest amount, from 260 miles to 269, but Hyundai appears to have closed some of the gap between AWD and RWD cars. The SE AWD costs $50,050 before the destination fee, with the SEL and Limited versions costing $53,000 and $58,100.
The new-for-2025 rugged XRT model (pictured above) begins at $55,400 before destination. As mentioned before, it gets an 0.9-inch higher ground clearance, unique 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, special body cladding, and exclusive fascias. You’ll find tougher seating inside as well as an XRT-only terrain drive mode selector.
As this is the first model range made at Hyundai’s new Georgia plant, it qualifies for a $3,750 federal EV tax credit with a purchase and the full $7,500 with a lease.
All regular 2025 Ioniq 5 models have redesigned bumpers and spoilers, an included (and often-sought) rear windshield wiper, more aerodynamic wheels, and available flush roof rails.
Inside, you’ll get a new steering wheel, more intuitive (and more physical) HVAC controls, and heated rear seats on SEL trims. The 12.3-inch infotainment system now has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, the latest Bluetooth/NFC digital car key support (again SEL and above), improved smart cruise control, USB-C ports, and over-the-air controller updates.
Driver assists are more commonplace. There’s a forward attention warning for everyone, alongside parking distance warnings (forward and back for all models, on the side for XRT and Limited). You’ll find a blind spot collision alert for the SE, with avoidance assistance on the SEL and higher. The SEL and above also get an advanced rear occupant alert, while the XRT and Limited add parking collision avoidance assistance as well as remote smart parking aids.
The highlight, for many, will be the native Tesla NACS support. There’s a CCS adapter if you need it, but you can now plug into a Supercharger and take advantage of the Ioniq 5’s fast 800V architecture in the process. Hyundai estimates 30 minutes to charge an 84kWh model from 10% to 80% using NACS. That’s slower than the 20 minutes you’ll get using CCS at other providers’ 250kW chargers, but you’re also getting access to a much larger charging network that should help you get cross-country.
You can expect to top up that same car in 81 minutes at a 50kW charger using CCS. At home, your car will take 7 hours and 20 minutes to replenish using a 240V power connector.
In some ways, this is the most crucial Ioniq 5 release to date, if not the Hyundai group’s most important recent EV release outside of the Kia EV9 SUV. The Ioniq 5 was already one of the most popular non-Tesla EVs on the market. Now, it has much stronger charging support, better range, and simply a more refined design. It might be the go-to option if politics or quality concerns are driving you away from Tesla’s vehicles, if not necessarily its charging stations.
