- The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 sports bigger batteries, more range, and a Tesla NACS charge port
- The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be made in Georgia
- Hyundai didn’t say how much the 2025 Ioniq 5 will cost when it arrives
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 receives a number of notable updates, including bigger battery packs, a Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, and more rugged XRT variant. It will also be the first Hyundai EV built at the automaker’s new manufacturing complex in Georgia, dubbed the “Metaplant.”
Battery-pack sizes grow from 58.0 kwh to 63.0 kwh for Standard Range models and 77.4 kwh to 84.0 kwh for Long Range models—with expected increases in EPA range for both. The change was hinted at with the raucous 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N performance model, which debuted earlier this year with the 84.0-kwh pack.
Hyundai estimates a 20-mile boost for the single-motor SE Standard Range, to 240 miles. Single-motor SE, SEL, and Limited models with the bigger pack get a smaller bump from 303 miles to 310 miles. Dual-motor versions of those models should get 250 miles to 280 miles of range, depending on the specific trim level and wheel/tire size, up from the previous 260 miles.

A new XRT grade also joins the lineup for 2025, marking the first time this off-road-inspired trim has been applied to a Hyundai EV. The Ioniq 5 XRT receives a 0.9-inch suspension lift, new suspension tuning, all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels, and exterior cladding with a digital camouflage pattern. It’s only available with the dual-motor powertrain and larger battery pack, but Hyundai did not have a range estimate at press time.
The Ioniq 5 will be the first Hyundai EV with a built-in Tesla NACS charge port, which Hyundai says will open up access to more than 17,000 Tesla Supercharger stations without requiring an adapter. Hyundai will instead sell an adapter for the Combined Charging Standard (CCS) port the Ioniq 5 previously used. All new or refreshed Hyundai EVs will come exclusively with a NACS port starting in the fourth quarter of this year.

Like some other 2025 Hyundai models, the Ioniq 5 finally offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard equipment on all models. A parking collision-avoidance assist feature and sensors to detect whether the driver has their hands on the steering wheel are new, while the lane-centering and remote automated parking assist features are updated.

Exterior styling changes include new front and rear bumpers, a new rear spoiler, and new wheel designs Hyundai claims are more aerodynamic. Under the skin, the body shell, front and rear doors, and parts of the B-pillars have been reinforced to improve side-impact protection. Inside, the Ioniq 5 features a redesigned center console and climate controls, as well as a new steering wheel design.
As confirmed by Hyundai earlier this year, the Ioniq 5 will be the first EV built at the automaker’s new Georgia factory. This will help 2025 models qualify for a $3,750 federal tax credit, but Hyundai will continue to offer a $7,500 discount to lease customers through a loophole in the rules. Actual pricing information will be released closer to the 2025 Ioniq 5’s arrival at dealerships.
