Hyundai IONIQ 5 Trim Level Breakdown
One Electric SUV: Five Dynamic Options
Picking a Hyundai IONIQ 5 gets easier once you see how the five trims stack up. They all run on the same EV platform. So your choice really comes down to range, power, and how many extras you want on the daily drive around Greenwood and Indy.
- The lineup spans five trims, from the budget-friendly SE Standard Range up to the loaded Limited.
- Rear-wheel-drive models reach an EPA-estimated 318 miles, while the base SE Standard Range covers 245 miles.
- All-wheel drive comes standard on the rugged XRT and stays optional on the SE, SEL, and Limited.
Hyundai IONIQ 5 Trim Level Breakdown at a Glance
Hyundai splits the IONIQ 5 into five flavors. You start with the SE Standard Range, then step up through the SE, SEL, XRT, and Limited. Its base setup keeps things simple. It pairs a 63-kWh battery with a 168-horsepower rear motor and 245 miles of range. Move up to the SE, and you get the larger 84-kWh pack, a 225-horsepower motor, and up to 318 miles. Both come with dual 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and heated front seats.
| Feature | SE Standard Range | SE | SEL | XRT | Limited |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | 63 kWh | 84 kWh | 84 kWh | 84 kWh | 84 kWh |
| Rear-Drive Power | 168 hp | 225 hp | 225 hp | AWD only | 225 hp |
| All-Wheel-Drive Power | Not offered | 320 hp | 320 hp | 320 hp | 320 hp |
| EPA Range (RWD) | 245 mi | 318 mi | 318 mi | N/A | 318 mi |
| EPA Range (AWD) | N/A | 290 mi | 290 mi | 259 mi | 269 mi |
| Drivetrain | RWD | RWD or AWD | RWD or AWD | AWD standard | RWD or AWD |
| Wheels | 19-inch alloy | 19-inch alloy | 19-inch alloy | 18-inch all-terrain | 19 or 20-inch |
| Top Extras | Cloth seats, dual 12.3-inch screens | Bigger battery, more power | H-Tex seats, wireless charger, HDA2 | Terrain modes, 0.9-inch lift, Bose | Vision roof, HUD, ventilated seats |
Where the SEL Hits the Sweet Spot
Most shoppers land on the SEL, and it’s easy to see why. For a small step up from the SE, you add synthetic leather seats, a hands-free power liftgate, a wireless phone charger, and rear climate vents. It also brings Highway Driving Assist 2. That system gives you hands-on help on longer runs down I-65 or I-70. Rear-drive SEL models still hit 318 miles, so you keep the range and get the nicer cabin.
XRT and Limited for Different Drivers
The XRT and Limited sit at the top, but they chase different buyers. The XRT leans outdoorsy. It comes with standard all-wheel drive, a 0.9-inch lift, 18-inch all-terrain tires, and Snow, Mud, and Sand modes. Add the tow hitch and it can pull a trailer, which no other IONIQ 5 can do. Those chunky tires drop its range to 259 miles, a fair swap for the extra grip.
The Limited goes plush instead. You get ventilated and heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a head-up display, a Vision roof, and a Bose sound system. AWD models roll on 20-inch wheels and cover 269 miles. Rear-drive versions stretch back to 318.
Charging and Range Around Indianapolis
Range worry fades fast once you picture real Indy driving. A round trip from our Greenwood lot on US-31 to Monument Circle barely dents the battery. Even a weekend run to Brown County State Park or Bloomington leaves plenty in reserve. Every IONIQ 5 now uses a native NACS port. That means you can plug into Tesla Superchargers around the I-465 loop, plus CCS stations with the free adapter. On a fast charger, the 84-kWh models go from 10 to 80 percent in about 20 minutes. That’s roughly the time it takes to grab lunch off I-65 near Greenwood.
