2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5: The EV crossover has received a thorough upgrade that also includes new amenities, an updated style, and an N Line edition with a little sportier appearance.
- Based on what is known about the Korean version, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 appears to be receiving a few upgrades.
- The available 77.4-kWh battery pack expands to an 84.0-kWh capacity, which should improve the range considerably.
- We anticipate these adjustments coming to the United States for the 2025 model year.
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is set to receive some major improvements for the 2025 model year, which should be available in the United States after three model years on the market. The electric SUV receives cosmetic modifications to the front and back ends, an expanded battery pack, an updated interior, and a new N Line variant with exterior and interior sporty elements.
Hyundai unveiled the Korea-spec 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5, which is depicted here. However, we anticipate that the majority of these features and specifications will transfer over to the U.S.-spec vehicle. This month, the new vehicle goes on sale in Korea, and we anticipate seeing dealerships here in the United States in the coming months.
Bigger Battery, More Range
The new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 model boosts the capacity of the 77.4-kWh battery pack found in the 10Best-winning Ioniq 5 to 84.0 kWh. We anticipate a significant range extension from that. With the new battery, we anticipate the 303-mile range of the rear-wheel-drive single-motor car to increase to about 325 miles; the 260-mile range of the all-wheel-drive dual-motor system might increase to 280 miles.
The current car’s Standard Range base model, which has a smaller 58.0-kWh battery pack, was not mentioned by Hyundai. We’ll have to wait to find out more about what’s happening with this less expensive setup, but this model may go away.
Other Updates
The significant external appearance improvements are completed with new front and rear bumpers. The car’s length is increased by 0.8 inches, and its rear spoiler and wheels have been redesigned. The inclusion of a windscreen wiper for the rear window excites us as well. We haven’t used this feature on our long-term Ioniq 5 because dirt accumulates there and is difficult to remove.
The interior has undergone some obvious alterations. The climate controls and infotainment buttons on the center stack have been rearranged, and the steering wheel is a new device with the same pixel lighting as the Ioniq 6. The wireless phone charging pad has been moved to a more practical location, and the center console now has new buttons for the heated seats and other settings. There is now a remote for folding the back seats. Hyundai has announced the release of Connected Car Navigation Cockpit, a new infotainment software.
Hyundai claimed to have installed structural reinforcements and adjusted the shocks beneath the surface. Moreover, additional sound insulation has been added to reduce noise from the electric motor in the back. Improved lane-keep assist and park assist are among the driver assistance features. A hand-detection feature has also been added to the steering wheel.
Ioniq 5 N Line
Hyundai is developing a new N Line trim level, which aims to close the performance gap between the regular Ioniq 5 and the high-performance Ioniq 5 N. It has 20-inch wheels, a body package, and distinctive bumper designs to give it a slightly more aggressive appearance. Its interior has sportier-looking pedals, athletic seats, a redesigned steering wheel, and red stitching all over.
The Ioniq 5 N Line may or may not have more power than the regular car, but it won’t have nearly the 641 horsepower of the Ioniq 5 N. Hyundai also made no mention of suspension adjustments, suggesting that the N Line treatment is primarily an aesthetic choice.
Watch for additional information about the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5, including pricing and details relevant to the United States, to be released later this year.
