"You gotta hand it to the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The moment it starts production in the United States, it gets camo-print bumpers, tow hooks, all-terrain tires, an inch of extra ride height and driving modes designed for off-roading. Talk about knowing your audience. This new trim level for one of the world's finest electric vehicles, dubbed the Ioniq 5 XRT, feels uniquely suited to American tastes. But is it the Ioniq 5 you really want?"
"The XRT rounds out the family with rugged, off-road vibes. It comes with a one-inch lift, revised high-clearance bumpers and all-terrain tires. But make no mistake: it's much more Subaru Crosstrek than Toyota 4Runner. As in, it's built to handle itself when the weather gets bad or when the pavement ends, but if you want a rock-crawling EV, you should save up for a Rivian."
Hyundai offers the Ioniq 5 XRT with camo-print bumpers, tow hooks, all-terrain tires, an extra inch of ride height and off-road driving modes. The XRT targets American buyers seeking rugged styling and light off-road capability rather than hardcore rock-crawling. The trim uses an 84-kilowatt-hour battery, dual-motor AWD producing 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft, and an EPA-estimated 259-mile range. Base 2025 pricing starts at $55,500 with an as-tested price of $57,085 including destination. Acceleration is roughly 0-60 mph in 5.0 seconds and fast-charging supports rapid replenishment. Some capability tradeoffs exist compared with dedicated off-road EVs.
