Hyundai’s upgraded 2025 IONIQ 5 starts at under $44,000 with more range and an NACS port

Hyundai officially announced prices and EPA range estimates for the new 2025 IONIQ 5. The upgraded IONIQ 5 is Hyundai’s first EV with an NACS port, so you can charge up at Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network. With more range, features, and trim options than ever, the electric SUV is an improvement in every way.

Hyundai shook the internet after unveiling the upgraded 2025 IONIQ 5 in September. The electric SUV has already been a massive hit for the Korean automaker, but the new model is poised to see even more demand.

Prices for the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ start at $43,975, including a $1,475 destination fee. That’s for the base SE RWD Standard Range model with up to 245 EPA-est miles driving range.

For $46,550, the extended range SE RWD trim provides an impressive up to 318 miles driving range.

You can also snag the new XRT trim, loaded with added off-road design features like Terrain Mode and front tow hooks, starting at $56,875. If you’re looking for even more, the range-topping Limited AWD model starts at $58,100 with a full slate of new features.

The IONIQ 5 is already Hyundai’s best-selling EV, but the upgrades are a drastic improvement over the current model.

Hyundai’s new 2025 IONIQ 5 now comes with a standard Tesla NACS charging port and CSS adaptor, unlocking access to 36,000 DC fast chargers, more than double the amount current drivers have access to.

The NACS port will “make the ownership experience and road trips more convenient and enjoyable for our customers,” said Olabisi Boyle, Hyundai Motor North America’s senior VP of product planning.

The new model also gains a bigger battery. Standard models now have 63 kWh battery packs, up from 58 kWh. The long-range models feature an 84 kWh battery, up from the previous 77.4 kWh.

Hyundai also upgraded the interior and exterior. You can immediately see the exterior design improvements with a redesigned front bumper and headlights, adding to the IONIQ 5’s bold look.

Based on feedback, the interior has been fine-tuned. It includes redesigned HVAC controls and a new center console and steering wheel.

Hyundai engineers are saying that the 2025 IONIQ 5 will max out at about 135 kW while using the Superchargers. And, using an adapter at a CCS charger (Electrify America for example), the new bigger battery will charge at a stellar 257kW.

So for the 84kWh battery, this means charging at a Tesla Supercharger will be a least 30 minutes, versus 19 minutes at an EA charger.

Putting a native NACS port on the new cars will hopefully assuage the trepidation of long distance travellers.

Ahead of its arrival, the 2024 model is still one of the top-selling EVs in the US. The electric SUV helped push Hyundai to its best-ever October US sales last month.
