2025 HYUNDAI IONIQ 5: ALL YOUR FAVORITE FEATURES PLUS SOME NEW ONES

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 receives a series of well-received updates, building upon an already strong foundation. Key improvements highlighted include the addition of a much-requested rear windshield wiper and the integration of the NACS port, making it the first non-Tesla to feature it. Inside, the cabin benefits from wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a revised center console with a wireless charger, and a more modern aesthetic with black trim around the dual screens. The driving dynamics are praised for their comfort and nimbleness, even on challenging, wet, and windy roads, with the reviewer noting good pedal feel and responsive acceleration. While the reviewer acknowledges the Ioniq 5 N offers more performance, the standard AWD model is deemed sufficiently powerful and enjoyable for spirited driving. The vehicle's spaciousness, particularly for drivers with mobility needs, is also a significant positive. Concerns about winter range are addressed, with the consensus being that modern EVs handle cold weather well, and the ability to precondition the cabin remotely is a major advantage. The inclusion of a complimentary home charger or charge point credits for 2025 buyers is also a notable incentive.
