The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 receives a mid-cycle refresh that enhances an already excellent vehicle. Key improvements include a larger 84 kWh battery (up from 77 kWh), offering slightly more range and faster peak charging speeds (up to 250 kW). The interior benefits from a redesigned center console with direct physical buttons for climate controls and heated/cooled seats, a significant usability upgrade. The infotainment system now features CCNC with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Notable exterior additions are a rear wiper and a digital rearview mirror. While the core driving dynamics remain impressive, with a quiet and spacious cabin, the refresh addresses previous minor annoyances, making the Ioniq 5 an even more compelling option. The reviewer highlights its fast charging capabilities (10-80% in ~20 minutes) and a real-world range of 318 miles for the RWD model. The Limited trim is stickered at $56,000 but is eligible for tax credits, bringing it under $50,000 before dealer incentives.
