2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Review

The Ioniq 5 is not just an electric vehicle, but a statement of innovation and style. In fact, the most noticeable hallmark of the 2025 Ioniq 5 is its unusual beauty. This ride is distinctive and bold. Curb appeal is often cited by critics when discussing why it has won so many awards.

Another major hallmark of this EV is its unbeatable spaciousness. The cabin boasts as much as 106 cubic feet of passenger space. 

The second row is almost as adult friendly as the front seats.  In fact, there’s a flat floor, allowing almost 40 inches of rear legroom. The second row has reclining seats, dedicated air conditioning vents, and rear side-shades. 

Yet another hallmark is this EV’s welcoming interior design. It strikes a balance between contemporary and classic.  A refined look is achieved with top quality materials in handsome color schemes.

Hyundai offers two soft upholstery choices. A stain-resistant fabric is a favorite with parents.  If you want something dressier, the answer is H-Tex, a leather-like fabric that has a lower carbon footprint than regular leather.   Keep scrolling to get information about Ioniq 5 prices and trim levels.

Most single-motor EV SUVs have the motor attached to the front axle. Hyundai does it differently.  The 2025 Ioniq 5 has a single electric motor attached to the rear wheels. This gives the EV SUV a bigger push, and it makes it more fun to drive. 

This Hyundai EV comes with two batteries. The smaller battery generates 168 horsepower, but it uses its rear motor to generate a fast 258 lb-ft of torque. The larger battery pack allows the 2025 Ioniq 5 models to produce 225 horsepower.

With two motors, an electric car in Gilbert can do much more. The 2025 Ioniq 5 Long Range AWD model utilizes its motors to generate 320 horsepower. Even better, this smart electric vehicle can produce almost instantaneous torque at a rate of 446 lb-ft. 

Ioniq 5 charging is easier than most of its rivals because Hyundai uses 800-volt architecture. This allows it to charge much faster. It speeds up the time to boost the charge from 10 to 80 percent with roadside DC fast charge. It just takes 18 minutes to get you back on the road. Home charging is quicker, too.

The Ioniq 5 range is as much as 303 miles with  the long-range fully charged battery and front-wheel drive. With all-wheel drive, the electric range is still excellent at 266 miles. 

Hyundai packs on value, matching the contemporary electric capability with the most modern connectivity tools. A large 12.3-inch touchscreen is easy to utilize. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to stream your apps to the screen.

Doubling your screen space, there’s a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel. Drivers will love the way that the systems keep them informed without unnecessary clutter. 

Ioniq 5 features include an 8-way power chair and a high-tech cockpit.  Phoenix drivers like the special automatic temperature controls because there is a driver setting that saves energy while directing the AC to the only person in this electric car in Gilbert.

Stepping up to the SEL, the cabin grows even more richly furnished. Plus you’ll find ambient lighting and a wireless charger.  The Limited cabin has a head-up display, Bose audio, and awesome ventilated seats.

 Every Ioniq 5 is packed with SmartSense safety features. Hyundai lane keeping assist and forward collision-avoidance assist are standards. The blind spot warning comes with an avoidance assist, a function rarely found on rivals. Highway Driving Assist provides a semi-autonomous system for use on designated interstates. 

There are serious environmental benefits to driving the all-electric Ioniq 5. It has zero tailpipe emissions and a lower carbon footprint. 

You can linger without leaving a trace. You may be sitting in the carpool lane at your child’s school, driving through a fast food restaurant, or waiting at a redlight, but your car won’t be spewing dangerous fumes. Likewise, you can use your air conditioning and other features without worrying about waste. 

If your house were to lose power, the Ioniq 5 has vehicle-2-load capability. This can be used to power appliances at your home, or you can use it at campsites and other remote locations.
