Which 2025 Ioniq 5 Trim Level Is Right For You?

Hyundai’s 2025 Ioniq 5 isn’t just a stylish car. It’s world-class! Alongside its cutting-edge charging tech and bold styling, this EV has earned a 2025 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.

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
• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster for easy glancing at the most crucial driving information
• Heated front seats that you can activate with a push of the button to keep you comfortable on cold morning drives.
• 8-way power driver seat to allow the driver to find the most comfortable position while driving
• Dual automatic temperature control so both driver and front passenger can enjoy their preferred temperature settings

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

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist to warn you and automatically apply the brakes to avoid a potential crash or reduce its impact once it detects a pedestrian or vehicle in front of it
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist keeps watch of the EV’s blind spots while changing lanes. It can either warn you of an incoming vehicle or gently brake to prevent a potential sideswipe
• Lane Following Assist monitors the road lines and gently steers the EV to keep it in lane, especially when in cruise control mode
• 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.

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE

Building on the features of the base trim, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SE is the perfect match for drivers who need more range and other confidence-boosting features. 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.

Other comfort and tech feature upgrades inside the Ioniq 5 SEL cabin include:

• Heated steering wheel to warm your hands during chilly morning drives
• Heated rear seats for rear passengers to get the same comfort as those in the front
• Auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink® automatically dims when it detects headlights behind the EV, reducing glare at night while controlling home security systems, gates, or garage doors without a remote
• Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium to unlock the car and share digital access with family and friends from your phone

Safety-wise, the 2025 Ioniq SEL has its own upgraded features from the SE:

• Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA) to assist with lane changes after tapping the turn signal while keeping you centered in the lane with a safe distance from the car in front
• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Enhancements to detect oncoming traffic at an intersection (junction crossing), steer away from an approaching vehicle on either side while changing lanes, and provide gentle steering support to avoid a collision when something suddenly appears in your path
• Forward Attention Warning (FAW) detects signs of distraction or drowsiness with a focus on the eyes. The system will alert you to take a break or refocus.
• Advanced Rear Occupant Alert (Advanced ROA) comes with motion sensors to detect pets or persons still inside the vehicle

Other notable key features of this Hyundai Ioniq 5 trim include:

• Hands-free smart liftgate with auto open
• Wireless device charging
• Roof side rails for attaching roof racks or storage boxes

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT

An EV with a bolder and tougher look to take you a little further on off-trail paths? If you are a driver wanting smart EV technology and SUV strength, the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq XRT is for you.

Though the well-equipped SEL trim serves as its foundation, it offers capability upgrades and more durable features. First off, you’ll have XRT-exclusive 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires. 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:

• Terrain mode setting makes the suspension more in tune for light-off roading for a more stable ride
• Standard HTRAC AWD to give all four wheels the extra grip on slippery surfaces, with an impressive 259 miles all-electric range
• Tow Mode to make the Ioniq 5 XRT capable of hauling gear, utility racks, or small trailers.

But that’s not all. What makes the Ioniq 5 XRT truly unique are the XRT-exclusive design details, which include:

• Black HTex™ leatherette-trimmed seats with XRT debossing for easy-to-clean yet durable upholstery with uniquely stitched XRT logo
• Black interior headliner to enhance the cabin’s sporty feel
• Unique front and rear fascias for a more aggressive, utility-inspired look
• Unique interior accents to match the adventurous theme
• Black side cladding to protect the vehicle’s lower sides from minor scrapes, mud, and debris
• Black window and “V” accent trims for a more rugged look
• Black roof spoiler and Hyundai logo badge to keep everything tied to the XRT’s stealth vibe
• XRT exterior logo to showcase the XRT’s off-road identity

Despite all these capability enhancements, safety is still of prime importance as it comes with two additional features:

• Parking Distance Warning (Forward/Side/Reverse with Contour Warning) to alert you whenever you get too close to any object or corner
• Remote Start Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2) so the EV can park itself when you’re not inside with the key fob

Other notable feature upgrades in the Ioniq 5 XRT trim include:

• Bose® Premium Audio
• Sliding center console
• Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) two-way charging (2nd row outlet)
