Sustainability has never looked, or felt, this good. Thanks to the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6, you can experience firsthand what it’s like to drive in comfort and sustainably.

With its IIHS Top Safety Pick+ status and 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA, this EV is built to perform and protect. And all these come together when you open the door, thanks to Hyundai’s commitment to sustainability.

From ambient mood lighting to the eco-friendly materials used, explore the Ioniq 6’s interior and discover why driving it home from Dalton Hyundai is your best choice.

Hyundai’s Ethical Uniqueness: An Overview

With a rising trend in the creation of electric cars, Hyundai has made a bold step in making a unique line of EVs. Instead of just making EVs that focus on being energy efficient, they have incorporated environmental friendliness into the mix.

The result? Their newest philosophy is called “Ethical Uniqueness.” It may sound futuristic, but the concept behind this principle is to create energy-efficient and responsibly-manufactured vehicles

Starting with the Ioniq 6, Hyundai is now designing its EVs with materials and technologies that are not good for driving and for the environment.

In what interior features did Hyundai apply sustainability to the Ioniq 6?

Recycled PET Fabric

Who would have thought that clear water plastic bottles that we toss into the recycling bin could become a stylish fabric? But, with Hyundai promoting ethical uniqueness, they have incorporated these bottles in the Ioniq 6 interior’s upholstery.

Plastic bottles are made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a plastic known for its strong and lightweight properties. PET is used to create soda bottles, food containers, and polyester fibers.

But instead of leaving these bottles as trash, they become fabric for the Ioniq 6’s seat covers, headliners, and floor carpets. Hyundai collects these bottles, melts them, and re-spins them into fine threads that result in a fabric that is:

• Soft and smooth, similar to the traditional cloth used in upholstery
• Stain-resistant for easier clean-ups
• Lightweight but strong, ideal for areas that are prone to wear and tear (i.e., seats)

PET fabric is color-friendly. It holds dyes better, making the colors for the interior more vibrant. The best part? Creating this fabric doesn’t use as much water and energy compared to producing leather or cotton.

The result is sleek, stain-resistant cloth seats for the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Standard Range and 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE trims.

Bio-based Leatherette

In the SEL and Limited trims of the 2025 Ioniq 6, there is a fabric upgrade on its seating surfaces. Hyundai’s H-Tex® leather replaces the stain-resistant cloth.

Described as modern and high–end looking, you would expect this fabric to come from animals. However, it is a vegan alternative to animal-sourced leather.

H-Tex® comes from the oils of plants like castor beans and corn. The result? A fabric that is:

• Durable to scratches or wear and tear
• Stain-resistant for easy clean-ups
• Gentle to the touch for a premium, comfortable ride

With this, Hyundai shows the auto industry can do away with relying solely on animal-based products while staying comfortably stylish. Plus, eco-conscious drivers would appreciate that their EV is made with cruelty-free materials.

Eco-processed Leather

Part of the 2025 Ioniq 6 features for its interior is a leather-wrapped steering wheel for added comfort while driving. While leather may look and feel good, it has to undergo tanning. This is required to soften the stiff animal hides and prevent them from decomposing.

But this tanning process uses harsh chemicals to achieve the desired result, the most common of which is chromium. Though chromium quickly stabilizes and softens the hide, its waste can leak into soil and water systems. Plus, it can cause cancer and harm aquatic life.

Other chemicals commonly used in the tanning process include:

• Formaldehyde preserves and improves the hide’s water resistance, but can cause respiratory problems and cancer, aside from polluting waterways
• Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Sulfide to remove the hair from the hides, but can acidify the sources of water
• Synthetic Dyes and Solvents add color and finish to the leather, but are petroleum-based and release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the air and water

With the Ioniq 6, flaxseed oil is the tanning chemical used. It is a natural oil from flax plants containing natural fatty acids to naturally condition and preserve the material.

This way, you’re assured that as you’re driving the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6 EV, the fabric used is:

• Non-toxic and biodegradable
• Does not cause groundwater pollution
• Does not use carcinogens or heavy metals
• Safer for both workers and the production facilities

So, even if the steering wheel of the Ioniq 6 is wrapped in leather, you can rest easy knowing that your electric vehicle is environmentally friendly.

Recycled Fishing Nets

Do you know where old fishing nets go when they no longer serve their purpose? Most of you would answer “in the trash,” but that is not the case, unfortunately. It usually ends up in our oceans, making them one of the biggest sources of marine pollution. Add that they can trap sea animals, damage the corals, and take years to decompose.

But Hyundai saw this and found a way to repurpose this material inside the Hyundai Ioniq 6 electric car: carpets and headliner. Similar to PET bottles, Hyundai collects discarded fishing nets from the ocean and recycles the nylon into strong and flexible fibers.

With how good the Ioniq 6’s floor carpet and headliner are, you won’t know that they use upcycled fishnets to create them.

Bio-Paint

One thing that makes a car stunning is its paint. But did you know that car paints are often made from petroleum-based chemicals? These include:

• Urethanes
• Solvents
• Acrylics

Though they are in no doubt effective at their job, they release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. This is usually during the production and application processes. These VOCs then pollute the air and cause a plethora of health issues if not properly controlled.

But with Hyundai taking a commitment to a more eco-friendly approach, they have started using bio-paint made from plant extracts like corn and rape flowers. It can also come from vegetable oils like linseed oil or soybean oil, which are processed into renewable resins. These resins are then used as the base of the paint.

This way, you’re helping to lessen the carbon footprint just by simply driving an EV using bio-paint on its interior door panels and steering wheel.

Note-Worthy Interior Design Highlights of The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 6

Apart from the eco-friendly materials used for the Hyundai Ioniq 6 interior, other noteworthy interior features can convince you to go full EV:

• Dual 12.3-inch Screens for displaying music, navigation, and vehicle controls
• Bridge-style Center Console to add storage space while giving the front row an open and futuristic feel
• Flat Floor for easier stretching out, with the absence of the driveshaft tunnel
• Touch-sensitive Climate Controls for easy adjusting of airflow and temperature control with a tap
• Dual-color Ambient Lighting to change your cabin’s mood at night

No matter the purpose for driving the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric car, every trip you make with it is immersive and comfortable.

From practical SE trims to off-road-ready XRT, there is a trim made for you.

So, if you’re ready to shift gears, here’s a simple breakdown of the 2025 Ioniq 5 specs to help guide your decision and bring this electric SUV home today from Dalton Hyundai.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range

Budget-conscious drivers, first-time electric SUV owners, or people who only drive on short commutes would love having the essential features found in the 2025 Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range. Apart from its powerful battery, it also features a tech-savvy and comfortable cabin, along with high safety features.

Under the hood, you’ll get a 63 kWh battery and a rear-wheel drive system that powers the back wheels of this EV. With a similar setup to that of a sports car, you’re guaranteed a smoother and more responsive drive.

With fuel efficiency, you can expect a range of 245 miles on a single charge. This is more than enough for running errands, daily commutes, or some weekend fun within the city.

If you run out of battery, you can quickly recharge thanks to its ultra-fast charging system. After all, this is the first Hyundai with a Tesla Supercharger-compatible NACS port without an adapter. With instant access to the V3/V4 Tesla Superchargers, you can go from 10% to 80% in just 24 minutes!

Plus, the Ioniq 5 2025’s paddle shifters aren’t just for manual gear shifting. They control the EV’s regenerative braking feature that recharges your battery as you drive. As soon as the system detects that your foot is off the accelerator, it captures the car’s slowing-down motion and sends it back to the battery as electric power.

Inside, you’ll be greeted by a comfortable cabin with tech-savvy infotainment system features:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation for easy control of calls, music, maps, and other car settings in one place with the help of the wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration

If safety is your concern, the Ioniq 5 2025 is well-covered with Hyundai SmartSense features, such as:

• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC2) to help you stop and start in heavy traffic without constantly braking and accelerating while keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you
• Highway Driving Assist (HDA) keeps you centered in your lane while maintaining a set speed when on the freeway or long road trips. It also adjusts the EV’s speed automatically to keep a safe distance from the other vehicles.

One such feature is the availability of the HTRAC All Wheel Drive for a better grip and control in slippery conditions or challenging terrain.

Apart from that, its battery gets a huge capacity upgrade. The Ioniq 5 SE now has 84 kWh of battery, allowing you to reach up to 318 miles of range when configured with the RWD. But if you prefer to upgrade to an AWD, you still get an impressive range of 290 miles.

Despite this huge jump in its battery capacity, it retains the comfort, safety, and tech features that you enjoyed in the Standard SE Range model.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL

For those who want more tech and comfort features, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL is the perfect fit. The Ioniq 5 SEL builds on the SE’s strong base. It would please tech-savvy drivers and daily commuters. Small families will also enjoy its comfort and premium features.

On the outside, you now get LED projector headlights that illuminate the road more evenly and farther at night. The heated side mirrors still get their turn-signal indicators, but get an added boost with them becoming power-folding. This means that they can automatically fold when parked and heat up to clear fog or frost.

Inside the cabin, you’ll have a more premium feel. You now get H-Tex® leatherette-trimmed seats that are not only easy to clean, but are also soft and more upscale-looking. Plus, the front passenger can experience a more comfortable ride as they can adjust the seat in six ways using a button.

Apart from their distinct design, these tires have deeper tread patterns and reinforced sidewalls for better traction.

Next is the increased ground clearance thanks to its +23mm suspension lift. If the other Ioniq 5 trims have 6.1 inches of ground clearance, the added suspension in the XRT model gives it an impressive 7 inches! This makes it easier to clear roots, rocks, and uneven surfaces.

Other features included in the suspension lift include:

Looking for an SUV that blends style, cutting-edge tech, and safety? Good news, as the 2025 Hyundai Tucson ticks all these boxes. With its 5-star overall NHTSA rating and 2025 Top Safety Pick+ Rating from the IIHS, every drive through the streets of National City is a standout.

But with five trims to choose from, how do you know which 2025 Tucson is the right fit? So, which Tucson trim level offers what you need — and nothing you don’t? Let’s take a look.

2025 Tucson SE

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson SE is the best SUV for drivers who are:

• On a budget but love to have everything they need without the additional price tag of a premium trim.
• First-time SUV drivers, and
• Young professionals or students

It offers a rich set of standard features without compromising on safety, basic tech, or efficiency.

Under the hood, it is powered by a 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC®. This delivers a smooth ride of up to 33 MPG (highway) while producing 187 horsepower, making this SUV perfectly capable of uphill climbs. 

Out of the box, the 2025 Tucson focuses power on its front wheels (Front-Wheel Drive) for better fuel efficiency. But you get the option to upgrade to HTRAC All Wheel Drive for better traction in hilly or wet areas. And, with Drive Mode Select, you can switch between Normal, Sport, and Smart driving modes with just a push of the button.

But what makes the 2025 Tucson SE stand out from its peers is the inclusion of advanced safety features like:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection warns the driver to apply the brakes when a person or car appears
• Lane Keeping Assist to alert you if you drift out of your lane without signaling, and steer you gently back
• Lane Following Assist to keep you centered when using cruise control
• Driver Attention Warning (DAW) monitors your driving habits and alerts you to take a break
• High Beam Assist automatically switches between low and high beams depending on the traffic at night, for more visibility without the glare

Apart from its noteworthy safety features, you also get a 4.2-inch color LCD gauge cluster and color touchscreen display audio that lets you control calls, music, and other functions without touching your phone. This is all thanks to its wireless Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® integration.

Despite its affordability, this SUV doesn’t skimp on comfort and convenience with its durable and comfortable cloth seats. You can adjust the driver’s seat in six ways and the steering wheel, thanks to its tilt-and-telescopic features.

Exterior-wise, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL’s wheels get an upgrade. It now comes with 18-inch alloy wheels for a sportier, more upscale look. You also get a hands-free smart liftgate that opens automatically when it detects the key fob.

You’ll now enjoy your morning drives more as the Tucson SEL comes with heated front seats. It also has an 8-way power driver seat with power lumbar.

2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL Convenience

The 2025 Tucson SEL Convenience is the best SUV for drivers who love a tech-filled cabin without jumping to the highest trim. It builds on the SEL’s solid foundation of tech and comfort, but with more premium features.

Topping the list is the 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation so you can view your maps, apps, and music at a glance. Its built-in GPS navigation makes it easier for you to find your way around. Its gauge cluster also gets an upgrade as it goes fully digital. You can even customize it to your preferences.

Interior-wise, the Tucson SEL Convenience’s seats, steering wheel, and shift knob are now covered with the H‑Tex® leatherette. Not only is it soft to the touch, but this faux-leather surface gives an upscale feel and comfort without the leather pricing.

Plus, you get an expanded ambient interior lighting that allows you to choose from 64 colors in setting up your vibe in the cabin. Whether it’s the center console, dashboard accent areas, or the door pockets, you get that added mood boost while driving.

In the safety department, you also get two new features:

• Highway Driving Assist (HDA) to keep you centered in the lane while maintaining safe spacing, curved or not, to make freeway driving less tiring

2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT

Outdoor enthusiasts and people who need roof load options and towing capacity would love the 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT. Though this trim builds upon the smart tech and safety features of the SEL Convenience, it emphasizes rugged looks and outdoor utility.

It enjoys the same base powertrain as the SEL Convenience trim. It has a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that produces 187 hp, and an HTRAC AWD option is available. But you’ll notice the difference with its exterior.

To start with, its wheels are not just the 18-inch alloy finished ones. They have a design that is exclusive to the Tucson XRT only. One look and you’ll know it’s made for the beefier, off-road, ready-for-adventure look. The 2025 Tucson XRT also has bold styling cues that give off a more adventurous presence, including:

• Black lower front and rear fascia to better hide dirt and scrapes

• Tow hitch for light towing purposes (small trailers, bikes, gears)

This way, no matter the terrain or weather conditions, you can easily haul gear, cargo boxes, and bikes without worrying about the mess.

2025 Hyundai Tucson Limited

Buyers who want nothing but the best and have the money to buy would love the premium features of the 2025 Tucson Limited. Building on the safety, comfort, tech, and styling features of the previous trims, you can expect top-tier ambiance.

On its exterior, you’ll notice its dark chrome front grille right away. This refined, darker-metal finish adds a polished and upscale look to its front end. Its larger 19-inch alloy wheels give the Tucson Limited a sporty stance with better road grip and handling. Plus, it has projector-type LED headlights for better night visibility.

The 2025 Hyundai Tucson interior also gets major upgrades. One, you can enjoy a quieter ride as its acoustic-laminated side windows reduce the road and wind noise. A panoramic sunroof also lets more natural light and fresh air in, making the cabin feel more open.

Front seats are now leather-trimmed, with added heating and ventilation to keep you comfortable with just a push of the button. You can now adjust the position of the front passenger seat in six ways to keep you relaxed the entire ride. Rear seats are now also heated to keep them cozy, too.

Tech-wise, the Head-Up Display (HUD) projects information like navigation directions and speed on the windshield. This way, you don’t have to glance away to keep this data in check.

You also have an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® to reduce the brightness of the headlights behind you. HomeLink® allows you to program gates and garage doors from your car. Plus, this SUV remembers the seat and mirror settings for different drivers with its Integrated Memory System (IMS).

And, to keep you safe the entire drive, the 2025 Hyundai Tucson has boosted its safety suite in the Limited trim:

• Surround View Monitor (SVM) to show you a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of your car, perfect for tight maneuvering or parking
• Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse (PCA-R) warns and gently brakes once it detects something approaching as you reverse
• Parking Distance Warning (PDW) – Forward/Side/Reverse alerts you once you get closer to parking obstacles
• Highway Driving Assist (HDA) with Lane-Centering Cruise to let you drive the car semi-autonomously on mapped highways
• Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) to help you get in and out of tight spots remotely with your key fob

Other notable features of the 2025 Tucson Limited include:

• Bose Premium Sound System
• Power liftgate
• Hands-free smart liftgate

Since 1998, Hyundai Hope on Wheels has been unwavering in its support of families, researchers, doctors, and children affected by childhood cancer. Over the past two decades, this incredible initiative has donated more than $250 million nationwide, funding vital research and providing essential resources to those impacted by this devastating disease.

A Partnership in San Diego

This year, the San Diego Hyundai dealers are extending this legacy of compassion and support by partnering with the Emilio Nares Foundation. Their mission is clear and critical: ensuring no child misses life-saving treatment due to a lack of safe and reliable transportation. To help achieve this, the San Diego Hyundai dealers are proud to donate a 2024 Hyundai Palisade to the foundation, ensuring children in need have access to essential medical care.

The Emilio Nares Foundation: A Lifeline for Families

The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) was established to support families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer. Named in honor of Emilio Nares, who bravely fought Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), the foundation offers free transportation to low-income families, ensuring their children can attend crucial medical appointments. The flagship program, Ride With Emilio, provides safe, reliable rides to treatment centers, alleviating one of the significant burdens families face during their fight against cancer.
