Hyundai has introduced the refreshed 2025 IONIQ 5 lineup, featuring the all-new IONIQ 5 XRT model, designed for off-road adventures. This latest addition enhances the IONIQ 5’s appeal with a rugged look and improved capability, while offering increased driving range and innovative technology.
The expanded lineup will be the first to roll off the assembly line at Hyundai’s new Metaplant facility in Georgia, with models expected to arrive at dealerships this fall.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT brings a bolder design and enhanced off-road performance, with unique features such as dual motors, a 23mm suspension lift, and black 18-inch wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.

Exclusive exterior touches like digital camouflage cladding and black badges add to its rugged appearance. Inside, the XRT boasts H-Tex™ seating with a unique pattern, black headliner, and XRT badging throughout.
Hyundai is also making the 2025 IONIQ 5 the first model to feature the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, allowing access to over 17,000 Tesla Superchargers. This eliminates the need for adapters, doubling the fast-charging options for IONIQ 5 drivers. The lineup will also include a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter, and from Q4 2024, all new Hyundai EVs will come exclusively with the NACS port.
The new models are expected to be eligible for a $3,750 U.S. tax credit, with additional federal tax incentives anticipated in the future. Leases will continue to qualify for the $7,500 credit, which Hyundai fully passes on to customers through attractive leasing deals.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 also introduces upgrades across the range, including restyled front and rear bumpers, new wheel designs, a redesigned interior, and advanced safety features. The vehicle comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, as well as enhanced over-the-air software updates.
Hyundai’s Chief Operating Officer, José Muñoz, highlighted the ongoing success of the IONIQ 5, saying, “We’re continuing to give customers more of what they want by expanding the IONIQ 5 lineup with a dedicated off-road-capable XRT model, NACS port, design upgrades, and a long list of features developed with customers in mind.”
