Electrification has been the key to Hyundai’s 33% retail growth over the past five years, according to Ricky Lao, director of product planning Hyundai Motor America. In fact, sales were up 31% in 2024 compared to the year before.

So the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has also received several upgrades for 2025, including new, bigger batteries that can provide up to 354 miles of range, more standard equipment – including a heat pump on every model – extra sound insulation around the rear-mounted e-motor to improve refinement and some very subtle styling tweaks.
