The Hyundai Ioniq 5 was already a strong contender in the EV world. One of the first electric crossovers with an 800-volt architecture, it brought a future-proof retro-modern design to the table and went on to become one of the best-selling EVs in America. Now, for 2025, Hyundai has made it even better. A bigger battery, more range, a factory-fitted Tesla NACS connector and a plethora of other upgrades make it even more compelling. Plus, the new off-road-focused XRT trim is here. Subaru Crosstrek and Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally, take note. InsideEVs' Editor-in-Chief Patrick George drove both versions in California last week and he says this is the electric crossover to beat. —Suvrat Kothari, Staff Writer |
