While some manufacturers are paring back as EV sales growth slows down, Hyundai remains committed to its all-electric lineup. It’s preparing not only to introduce new models like the big EV9 — set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November — but also expanding the range of packages available for existing models.
Barely 3 years after launching the Ioniq 5, its first EV using a dedicated skateboard-like platform, Hyundai is giving the compact crossover a midcycle update. And, along with the requisite exterior and interior design tweaks, the new model year brings a more significant bit of news: the new 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT will give buyers a chance to see what all-electric propulsion can do off-road.

That could draw in an entirely new class of EV buyer, company officials told me. While the Ioniq 5 XRT won’t be the first EV offered in the U.S. market capable of leaving the pavement behind, it will become the most affordable, with pricing expected to come in well below the $67,495 base MSRP for the high-performance Ioniq 5 N.
