Hyundai has updated the Ioniq 5 for 2025 and it’s now available in Australia, with renewed styling, more technology, and up to 570km of range on a single charge – but it will cost more.
The updated model is offered across three grades, with larger standard 63kWh (up 5kWh) and long-range 84kWh (up 6.6kWh) battery options and a choice of single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive. Hyundai says the larger 84kWh battery was lifted from the Ioniq 5 N.
There is a $2300 price increase across all variants, but for the extra money Hyundai has fitted more technology, tweaked the visuals and importantly enhanced driving range across models.
The 63kWh battery in the base model now offers a WLTP range of 440km, while the 84kWh battery offers a range of up to 570km in rear-wheel drive models and up to 500km in all-wheel drive models.
Power remains the same despite the larger batteries, with the standard 63kWh rear-wheel drive model producing 125kW/350Nm, the 84kWh rear-wheel drive models producing 168kW/350Nm and the dual-motor all-wheel drive models producing 239kW/605Nm.
Hyundai has enhanced the user experience in the new Ioniq 5, with a Connected Car Next-Generation Cockpit (CCNC) featuring a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone connectivity across all models, along with BluelinkTM connected car services and Over-The-Air (OTA) wireless update capability.
In addition, the SmartSenseTM safety suite has been upgraded with the addition of Forward Collision-avoidance Assist 2 (FCA 2), Highway Driving Assist 2 (HDA 2) and Navigation Based Smart Cruise Control (NSCC), and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2 (RSPA 2).
Mild visual tweaks include revised bumpers and badging, new 19- and 20-inch alloy wheel designs for base and Dynamiq models, and LED projection headlights with Hyundai’s Intelligent Front Lighting System (IFS) for Epiq models.
Inside, Hyundai has introduced a revised centre console, steering wheel, instrument cluster bezel and seat pattern. The base model scores single-tone black wool and eco-processed leather upholstery, while Dynamiq and Epiq grades get light-coloured interior options at no extra cost.
Hyundai says it has also improved ride and handling across models, through increased chassis rigidity and re-tuned suspension. The manufacturer says the chassis tweaks have also led to better NVH suppression.
For customers wanting sportier styling the N-Line pack is available on Dynamiq and Epiq models, for an extra $2,500. The optional extra includes exclusive styling and 20-inch alloy wheels.
All Hyundai Ioniq 5 models come with a five year/unlimited kilometre warranty and eight year/160,000 kilometre high-voltage battery warranty.
