LOS OLIVOS, Calif., Sept. 3, 2024 – Hyundai today announced the release of the refreshed 2025 IONIQ 5, including a rugged new IONIQ 5 XRT variant, ideal for venturing further off the beaten path. The expanded lineup offers more driving range and innovative features than ever, resulting in improved convenience, performance and safety. The IONIQ 5 will be the first model range manufactured at the brand-new Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) facility in Georgia.
Upgraded 2025 IONIQ 5 models, including the new XRT, arrive at Hyundai dealerships this fall to broaden IONIQ 5’s appeal. The factory-built 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT brings additional off-road capability and a bolder, more rugged appearance to this Hyundai EV for the first time.
IONIQ 5 aims to further enhance customer satisfaction by being the first Hyundai model to come equipped with the Tesla North American Charging Standard (NACS) port. This port opens 17,000+ chargers on Tesla’s Supercharger network without using an adapter, doubling the size of the DC fast-charging network available to new IONIQ 5 customers. 2025 IONIQ 5 models also will be sold with a Combined Charging System (CCS) adapter. All-new or refreshed Hyundai EVs will come exclusively with a NACS port beginning in Q4 2024.
Models produced at HMGMA are expected to be eligible for a $3,750 U.S. tax credit at start of sale. In the future, Hyundai anticipates the U.S.-built 2025 IONIQ 5 models to qualify for additional federal tax incentives. Leases continue to qualify for the $7,500 credit that Hyundai fully passes onto consumers with more attractive lease offers.
