The new Hyundais have taken the U.S. by storm, and the IONIQ 5 is no exception. Shattering assumptions about Hyundai's ability to produce beautiful and capable cars, Hyundai has a number of great incentives on the 2025 IONIQ 5 right now. With optional Vision Roof and ventilated seats, here's how to score a deal.

SE Standard Range

First up in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 family is the SE Standard Range. It is the entry-level trim, starting at $41,450 MSRP, although many IONIQ 5’s are leasing at rates far lower than their starting MSRP might let on. This trim offers a budget-friendly option for those looking to enter the EV market without compromising on essentials. Powered by a 58 kWh battery, the SE Standard Range delivers up to 220 miles of range on a full charge and features a 168-horsepower motor. It comes with fast-charging capabilities that can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 18 minutes with a DC fast charger. The SE Standard Range features a modern cabin with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Safety features include Hyundai SmartSense, with forward collision avoidance, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot collision avoidance.

SE

Stepping up to the IONIQ 5 SE, starting at $45,450 MSRP, brings enhanced range and performance. This trim is equipped with a 77.4 kWh battery, increasing the driving range to 303 miles with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and up to 266 miles with all-wheel drive (AWD). AWD models feature a dual-motor setup producing 320 horsepower for quicker acceleration and improved handling. In addition to its extended range, the SE trim offers upgraded interior materials and convenience features such as proximity key with push-button start and fast-charging capability for reduced downtime. This trim is ideal for buyers seeking a balance of range, performance, and affordability.

SEL

The IONIQ 5 SEL, priced at $47,950 MSRP, adds premium features for enhanced comfort and convenience. This trim includes everything from the SE trim, with additional perks like H-Tex leatherette seating, a power hands-free liftgate, and ambient interior lighting. The SEL also comes equipped with Hyundai’s Highway Driving Assist 2, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering technology for a semi-autonomous driving experience. Other advanced features include a panoramic glass roof, heated rear seats, and wireless charging.

Limited

The IONIQ 5 Limited represents the pinnacle of luxury and technology in the lineup, starting at $52,600 MSRP. It is available in both RWD and AWD configurations, with AWD models offering enhanced power and traction. The Limited trim includes all SEL features and adds a head-up display with augmented reality, a premium Bose sound system, and ventilated front seats. The cabin is further refined with a sliding center console and upgraded materials. It also features Vision Roof, a single-pane glass roof that elevates the aesthetic and adds an open, airy feel to the interior. For those prioritizing top-tier technology and luxury, the Limited is the ultimate choice.

D100 Platinum Edition

Exclusive and limited in availability, the IONIQ 5 D100 Platinum Edition is priced at $58,000 MSRP and celebrates Hyundai’s 100th anniversary. This trim builds on the Limited’s features and adds unique exterior badging, special paint options, and exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the D100 Platinum Edition offers a bespoke interior with platinum-accented materials, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and an exclusive commemorative plaque. Performance matches the Limited AWD configuration, ensuring both style and substance for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Regular vs. All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

All trims of the IONIQ 5 are available with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). The AWD option provides enhanced traction and performance with a dual-motor setup, delivering 320 horsepower compared to the RWD’s 225 horsepower. AWD models trade a small decrease in range for improved handling and acceleration, making them ideal for buyers in regions with inclement weather or those seeking more dynamic driving performance.

Current Incentives and Offers

Right now the 2025 IONIQ 5 has a host of attractive national deals with which to save as the model year comes to an end. There are savings of $7,500 each on remaining 2025 inventory. There is also a $500 military discount, and a $400 recent college graduate discount. Finance any 2025 trim for 1.99% APR for 60 months. Lastly, SE Standard Range is leasing at $179/mo with $3,999 down for 36 months including $7500 EV Lease bonus. Be sure to check local dealers for the best deals as incentives may vary by region. Cast a wide net using the dealer inventory tool and compare multiple stores within a reasonable driving radius; despite national promotions, not all dealers price the same, and some will be more aggressive on in-stock colors or option packages. Ask every store for an out-the-door price that includes taxes and fees, and be selective about add-ons like paint protection, VIN etching, maintenance packages, and extra alarm systems—polite declines on extras can save hundreds or even thousands.
