67% Informative

The Ioniq 5 has been a Car and Driver darling since its debut for the 2022 model year .

This mid-cycle refresh brings mild styling tweaks front and rear, new wheel designs, a revised center console.

Range is up across the lineup as well, with the biggest boost coming for the dual-motor all-wheel-drive SE and SEL models, which are now estimated to deliver 290 miles per charge, a 30-mile increase over 2024 equivalents.

The XRT 's extra suspension travel, new suspension tune, and taller tire sidewalls offered a more compliant ride.

Braking performance and cornering grip are unsurprisingly lower for the XRT than the SEL .

Driving range is estimated at only 259 miles per charge for XRT .

The Ioniq 5's battery is capable of quick charging times.
