2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Six-Month Owner Review: Efficiency, Likes And Dislikes
Briefly

The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 adds a larger battery, Tesla-style NACS charging port, rear windshield wiper, and updated interior features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An owner logged nearly 4,800 miles over six months and averaged 2.6 miles/kWh overall, with summer efficiency around 3.3 miles/kWh, yielding about 250 miles full-charge range and roughly 180 miles from 80% to 10%. DC fast charging generally performs well, but Tesla Superchargers charge slower than 350‑kW Electrify America stations despite the native NACS port. The ownership experience shows improved range and convenience alongside some charging limitations.
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is one of the best EVs out there, and it was made even better when the 2025 model hit dealer lots. It has a bigger battery, which contributes to more range, a Tesla-style NACS charging port, a rear windshield wiper (the old one didn't have one), and a bunch of other niceties inside, such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Since buying the car at the beginning of the year, the odometer has gone up by almost 4,800 miles, while the average efficiency so far has been 2.6 miles/kilowatt-hour. That's not great, but it's worth mentioning that it includes more winter driving than summer driving miles. Now, in the summer, the owner has been getting around 3.3 miles/kWh, which leads to a real-world range of 250 miles on a full charge and roughly 180 miles going from 80% to 10%.
