EV Channels Review
The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL AWD receives a significant refresh, highlighted by the integration of the NACS (Tesla) charge port as standard, a major convenience for accessing the Supercharger network. The vehicle also benefits from an upgraded 84 kWh battery pack across most trims, increasing range to an estimated 290 miles. Interior enhancements include new infotainment hardware and software (ccNC), wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, manual charge preconditioning, and a revised center console with a wireless charging pad and digital keypad. New features for the SEL trim include heated second-row seats, Digital Key 2 Premium, and an 8-way power passenger seat. While the reviewer praises these upgrades and the overall value proposition, they note persistent criticisms regarding the use of hard plastics on the door panels and armrests, especially at this price point. The reviewer also touches on the uncertainty surrounding federal tax credit eligibility for 2025 models, advising potential buyers to look into Hyundai's own incentives.
