Tesla’s extensive Supercharging network continues to be a significant advantage for electric vehicle (EV) users, and Hyundai’s latest model, the Ioniq 5, is showcasing its own advancements. The Ioniq 5 is now one of the first vehicles that can integrate the Supercharging feature without the need for a dongle.
The exterior design of the Ioniq 5 remains largely similar to its predecessor, but the introduction of the rugged Ioniq 5 XRT variant offers off-road enthusiasts a more adventurous option.

Inside, the Ioniq 5 boasts several enhancements. The Standard Range model now features a 64kWh battery, an increase from the previous 58kWh. The Long Range variant has also seen an upgrade, now equipped with an 84kWh battery compared to the earlier 77.4kWh. This results in an impressive range of over 240 miles for the RWD SE Standard Range, over 310 miles for RWD SE/SEL/Limited models, and between 250 to 280 miles for the AWD options, varying by trim, wheel, and tire size.
Experience hassle-free charging without dongles.
One of the standout features of the new Ioniq 5 is its native Supercharging capability. Drivers can conveniently plug into a Tesla Supercharger without requiring an adapter, simplifying the charging process. However, to connect to a CCS charger, the included dongle will still be necessary.
Innovative interior features include heated seat controls.
Additional features encompass newly designed aerodynamic wheels, a revamped steering wheel, heated rear seats on select trims, and various safety upgrades. For a comprehensive list of enhancements, consumers can refer to Hyundai’s official website.
Hyundai plans to manufacture the new Ioniq 5 at its state-of-the-art facility in Georgia, with deliveries expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2024. The vehicle may qualify for a $3,750 tax credit in the U.S., while leases will still be eligible for the $7,500 credit. Pricing details for the updated model have yet to be disclosed.
