The Hyundai Ioniq 5 gains a rugged-looking XRT model for 2025, and we hooned it around the California desert to check out its off-road chops.
The XRT rides on a slightly lifted suspension versus the regular Ioniq 5, giving it more ground clearance.
Hyundai says approach and departure angles are better on the XRT, too, thanks in part to unique front and rear bumpers.
All XRTs roll on black 18-inch aluminum wheels that imitate the look of steel wheels. We think they look pretty rad.
Hyundai added a bunch of plastic body cladding to help protect the XRT's paint from off-roading scratches. These bits are adorned with a subtle pixelated camouflage pattern.
Functional red-painted recovery hooks are integrated into the XRT's front bumper.
Around back, the XRT logo is embossed into the plastic cladding.
More pixel-type lighting can be found across the rear hatch.
The Ioniq 5 XRT isn't going to traverse boulders alongside Jeeps, but it's great in sandy, uneven terrain.
The downside is that the driving range isn't as much as what you get in most other Ioniq 5 models, at an estimated 259 miles per charge.
Keep going to check out even more pictures of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT.
