I'm driving the 2024 ioniq 5 limited . Have a lease but will be looking to get into the 25 or some other option at the end of this year. If the prices are as high as you say they are I will have to explore either staying with a 2024 or switching to a Volvo ex 30 or Chevy bolt. The ionic 5 is a great car but a little bit bigger for my needs than this price justifies. Who knows what's going to happen so all options are open. Thanks for your reviews much appreciated!

[@larryshoer8296]

For the 2025 AWD Limited, I'd prefer greater range (+30 miles) over bigger wheels. At least on some vehicles, I've heard that bigger wheels may also lead to a more harsh ride. Is there a convenient way to get the 2025 AWD Limited with the smaller wheels? Is going this route unwise?

[@itsGreghere]

I want this also! I wonder if you can order a Limited with SEL wheels and tires, or if the dealer would swap them for you. I'm sure somebody would want an SEL with big wheels...

[@Dqtube]

They are talking about 350KW chargers because the charging unit in the car is current limited and some older 200-250W chargers are only able to deliver this power with high current and low voltage. Similar to the NACS, the car can take 340 - 360A, which is about 120 -130kW at the input, so 60 - 65kWh for 30 minutes of charging. Interestingly, for the European version of the facelift Ioniq5 or EV6 they still quote 18 minutes.

[@antibureaucrat]

I prefer cloth seats (unless you can get vented seats) - can an owner swap in a heated steering wheel on the SE trim ??? Seems like that should at least be an option if not standard.

Corbin, would you happen to know where the charging port is on these new models? What's the point of adding a NACS port if the cable can't reach because the port is on the wrong side for V3's, the most common charger in America by far?

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Same location, passenger side. It would likely be far too costly to move out before a complete redesign of the car.

[@junehanzawa5165]

@TheIoniqGuy That's too bad. It's going to cost it in sales. Most other manufacturers are moving it to either the driver's rear or the passenger's front, giving them an advantage. I asked because I read some place that it was moving to at least the rear bumper. Thanks for the info Corbin.

Yes, I got my notification from Hyundai this morning that reported these stats. I don't see them on the EPA page yet, but assume that will happen soon. I felt smug to see that the 2025 version of my Limited AWD will see an increase of only 9 more miles of range, even less than I guess'timated. No big deal. I'm happier than ever to have bought mine in 2024. As for Superchargers, I intend to avoid them if at all possible. After my two-years of free charging with EA expires, I'd much rather pay for my DCFC sessions to other providers.

[@alanpeterson6768]

My plan had been to replace my 2022 AWD Limited 5 with a 2025. I'm re-thinking that. We also have a 2024 AWD SE 6 and the difference in amenities between the trim levels is huge. I really want the Limited trim, but Hyundai still keeps putting those damn big range killing tires on that trim level. My 5 has 40,000 miles with 5/32nd of tread left on the tires. I'm starting to think of keeping the 5, then when the tires need replacing I'll invest in either 19" or even 18" (if I can) wheels and tires. That will give me a bigger range increase than buying a 2025.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Hyundai should have offered a N-Line trim instead of the XRT. Hardly anyone will take this vehicle off-road!

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Personally, I'm with you but based on the the number of Subarus on the road, I think they expect that the off-road look will sell better than a sporty look and I'd probably agree with them but I do think they may have gone a little too far with the pixel camo. I don't see many Subaru owners being into that as they probably prefer the more boring, uninspired styling of those cars.

Hey Corbin, why do you think the SE and the Limited are the best options for 2025 and not the SEL? Also, since you've had the AWD for a while, would you still say that's much better than RWD? I figured living in a colder climate makes the heat pump vital imo. Thanks.

[@litapd311]

the SEL is just about 3k more expensive than the SE, but the only things you get that really make a difference are heated steering wheel, rear heated seats/air conditioning, roof rails, wireless charger, and some safety features that aren't essential. so unless you need some of those features, it doesn't seem worth the upgrade. the limited edition is obviously more expensive at 7k over the SE, but you get a lot more features for it. the SEL seems like a bad balance of budget to features unless you really want heated seats for kids or are really concerned with lane-change warnings.

Does the rear wheel drive get a heat pump?

[@ManfredvonHolstein]

I don’t know what you mean by the boost converter. There is no such thing. The car uses the rear motor inverter to step up the voltage from 405V to the battery voltage when charging at 450V chargers. That inverter has a lot of capacity and isn’t the reason for any current amperage limitation when charging at 450V chargers. The reason are the cables. And my guess is that the NACS port adds another limitation which results in the slightly reduced top charging speed even at 800V chargers.

IIRC the usable capacity was 77, so that means it went up to 84. But I am doubting with you. However, my biggest question is, will a NACS car be able to use all superchargers. I'm leaning to no, but it would be nice if it could.

[@FuncleChuck]

Why would it not?

[@junehanzawa5165]

Not all superchargers use the CCS protocol required. The older V2 and V1 superchargers use an older Tesla proprietary protocol released when most other manufacturers didn't even have EV's, and there was no standard protocol. Tesla had to do it all on their own. When the CCS standard finally came out, Tesla included it's protocol on their newest Superchargers, meaning the V3's and V4's and going forward. Other manufacturers never used that original protocol before there was a standard, so they cannot charge on those older Superchargers. It has nothing to do with just the port. Hope that helps.

[@sprockkets]

@junehanzawa5165 right, but what if those that adopted nacs included both protocols? Again, probably not. But what makes that interesting is that tesla had no reason to use ccs except for tesla's to be able to charge at ccs stations with an adapter.

[@junehanzawa5165]

@sprockkets They're not going to add the extra hardware/boards needed to run the protocol just to be able to charge on 150kW V2 superchargers. Kia/Hyundai is not even willing to move the charging port to the correct location.

[@magnus966]

Bjorn's test showed that the 5N battery overheats at maximum charge speeds and causes it to throttle.....that .ay be the reason for the 20 min time

I bought a 2025 Ioniq 5 N. Why does it still have CCS1? Why did I not get an adapter? Do you know?

Likely due to it being developed for longer than the new standard Ioniq 5. If Hyundai follows what Kia is going to do, then only people that buy after the official announcement that they were opening to Tesla Superchargers will get a free adapter.

[@stevedowler2366]

The Ioniq 5 was likely my wife's choice but with the increased prices, it really has a hard time competing with the Tesla Model 3 or Y in their refreshed versions. M3 RWD at $34,990 and MYLR AWD at $34,490. Only positive for the Ioniq 5 is more buttons and other physical controls. It's hard to justify ~$4K for those but some just hate the screen-based UI. And some just plain hate Musk! Oh well.

[@JohnSandovalesq]

If the $7500 tax credit is off the table (and by all indications it will be by the time I'm ready to purchase in March), then the Limited at $58k and change is way overpriced, especially when you can get a Model Y for $6k to $8k less.

Sounds like they are jacking up their prices to exploit the tax credit. Now if the tax credit goes away watch them start putting cash on the hood to move the cars. Not a good look for Hyundai here. Slower charging, and that NACS speed not impressive at all. 30 minutes on NACS is not really good. I think that is what I saw a timed test produce with the 90ish kwh speeds with the current I5 so I don't know that they fixed that if they are still quoting 30 minutes. Only says acoustic glass in the front, and only privacy glass in the rear. No mention of heat pumps on RWD models. Looks like you have to have an AWD still to get a heat pump. I hate to say it, but getting a used I5 is looking like a better choice before they removed everything. Let someone else eat the depreciation. Not worth it just to get a rear wiper from what I can see at the moment. The modest bump in range due to the larger battery would be welcome, but looks like you have to get a Limited if you want the nice stuff. The upgrade to the infotainment still doesn't look very compelling to me after watching the EV9 content and the mess that thing still is. I started off excited about the 2025 upgrades, but with the price increases and stripped out features I am rethinking that. If you use the car at a NACS site expect worse performance at the charger. Nah, better to stick with CCS sadly until Tesla upgrades their sites to true V4.

[@stevenmeyers5088]

A 2-minute charging trade-off for thousands of additional charging locations seems fine to me! Not to mention it will be future-proofed when all DC fast charging stations eventually have NACS cables and a possible permanent hardware fix to AC charging overheating issues.

[@Longsnowsm]

@@stevenmeyers5088 I think looking at the current roll out of DCFC that NACS conversion appears it is going to be slower than you might expect. We ae not seeing new NACS ports on most of the new sites I have seen recently launched. I am not downplaying the value of the Tesla SC network. I just road tripped last weekend in my Model 3 and the SC sites are fantastic for getting a charge on a 400v car. Look at that chart again that Corbin shared and you will see the NACS line stated that it is a 30 minute charge. So you will save at least 10 minutes if you can find a working CCS charging location with a 350kw charger. Until we see V4 sites deployed by Tesla the 800v cars are going to be waiting(including Tesla's own Cybertruck). Hyundai is ahead of the game, now we wait for our infrastructure to catch up with these cars. What does that mean for the 2025 I5? Well you get a bump in battery size, and a rear wiper. Those are the biggest advances for this refresh. I think they also remove the secondary coolant system to streamline that. But as was pointed out they have continued to take stuff away while raising prices. At this point I will probably just look for a gently loved and cared for used I5 and let someone else eat the depreciation and wait to see what comes next. I mean if I am stuck using adapters does it really matter? Yes, I have a CCS adapter for my Tesla for when I head into no mans land where there are not many DCFC and if you do find one it is a slow CCS. So keep your options open. Sounds like The Tesla network is going to be a good backup charging site for the new car just like it is today. Does not sound like they fixed the booster. You are right about the AC charging issue. That hopefully is fixed in the 2025.

The makers are not taking responsibility to correct this so you have to know the ongoing costs and monitoring of the battery life. I couldn’t use my car and had to tow it to get the battery replaced. Crazy! Will never buy an EV again…not for me.

disappointing - increase in prices - not what I thought was promised (native NACS ports). Not much in the way of features - that would drive me to buy a 2025 - and when the 7500 fed credit going away (as the incoming administration said would happen) - these are prices out of what a family with kids can afford. ;-(

I stopped watching after he said he thought it would be cheaper to build here. I never saw anything built in the USA cheaper.

So 10-80% would be about 60 KW it needs to charge. Saying it takes 30 minutes, looking at maybe 120 kwh charging on 400v chargers? I would guess that because 120 kwh even at lower voltage should be a flat curve all the way to 80%. That’s an ok boost from 100 kwh. 100 kwh would do that in about 35 minutes. Seems like it will charge just about as fast as a Model Y 10-80%. Thanks for your video! Looking forward to video 2 of the race you did with out of spec!

Sounds about right. I was told months and months ago that theoretically the current boost converter is capable of around 120kW so they may not have even changed anything with it. I'll definitely take it in a pinch. Coming out tomorrow morning!

Doesn’t make sense to take a very vulnerable undercarriage off road. Just bump the battery casing really hard, now your warranty is void……

[@WillyPimentel]

Seems to me it has gone backwards!!

[@WillyPimentel]

What are your thoughts!!

[@TheIoniqGuy]

Gone backwards in what regard? The 2025 has vastly improved upon the existing model.

[@EltWilder]

318… ok.

[@jasonwhitley8605]

legitimate question. What effect do you think the new trump admin will have on the EV industry and its future in the US?

[@FuncleChuck]

Far too early to tell, but I’d bet imported cars and parts prices go up - so most cars will get more expensive due to market conditions.

I understand you getting rid of a 22 for the 25...me i have the 2024 ultimate (Canadian trim)in Lucid Blue and we love that car...but the rear wiper..I mean I don't know ,sell it to Hyundai and get the 2025.. It will have more buttons, bigger battery. Maybe ota updates (not available in 2024 in Canada)we also have the Kona ev 2024 ultimate and i really love the extra buttons and ota.. I think this upcoming first winter with our 2024 will give us an answer, will the no rear wiper but an aftermarket digital mirror be enough to drive safely?
