Beyond the Pavement: Exploring the All-New IONIQ 5 XRT
November 20 2024,
The 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT adds specialized off-road equipment to Hyundai's electric SUV platform. This variant combines raised suspension, all-terrain tires, and reinforced bodywork with the established electric architecture, delivering practical capability without compromising the advanced technology that defines the model range.
Rugged Design Meets Electric Innovation
The IONIQ 5 XRT stands apart with its purposeful design elements that go far beyond mere aesthetics. The 23mm suspension lift provides meaningful ground clearance for tackling rough terrain, while the model-specific black 18-inch wheels wrapped in aggressive all-terrain tires deliver confidence on any surface. The unique front and rear fascias incorporate practical elements like front tow hooks, supporting the impressive 2,647-kg towing capacity. The distinctive digital camouflage cladding serves both form and function, protecting the vehicle while creating a striking visual signature.
Power and Range for Every Adventure
Equipped with the most advanced electric powertrain in the IONIQ lineup, the XRT combines dual motors with an 84-kWh battery to deliver exceptional performance both on and off the pavement. The all-wheel-drive system provides precise power delivery to all four wheels, while improved approach and departure angles of 19.8 and 30.0 degrees respectively ensure capable navigation of challenging terrain. The XRT leads the charge in charging convenience, featuring a built-in Tesla NACS port that provides access to more than 17,000 Supercharger stations across North America.
Adventure-Ready Interior
The XRT's cabin perfectly balances durability with refinement. The exclusive H-Tex seating surfaces feature a unique pattern and XRT logo, designed to withstand the rigours of outdoor adventure while maintaining comfort. The black headliner and XRT-badged all-weather floor mats create a cohesive theme that emphasizes the vehicle's capability. New physical controls for frequently used functions improve ergonomics, while the redesigned center console enhances everyday usability.
Technology That Takes You Further
Advanced technology in the XRT serves a practical purpose, enhancing both safety and capability. The new 12.3-inch navigation system provides clear guidance whether on trails or highways, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration keeps you connected wherever adventure leads. The Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium adds convenience with its advanced NFC and ultra-wideband technology, while the comprehensive suite of safety features includes new additions like Forward Attention Warning and enhanced parking assistance systems.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT, manufactured at Hyundai's new Georgia facility in early 2025, will offer unique capabilities to Canadian consumers. Its specialized hardware and focused engineering demonstrate the expanding potential of electric vehicles, particularly for drivers seeking enhanced capability. Contact us today to learn more!
