Hyundai Ioniq 5 Among Autotrader’s 10 Best Electric Cars For 2025
For the uninitiated, Autotrader is the most recognized third-party car listings brand, with the most engaged audience of in-market car shoppers. The editorial team at Autotrader recognized the IONIQ 5 for its bold exterior design, innovative and spacious interior layout, versatile powertrain options, and overall excellence. Remember, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 is available in varied avatars for the customers, including the performance-focused Ioniq 5 N and the adventure-ready Ioniq 5 XRT for off-roading excursions.
In fact, Matt Degen, Senior Editor at Autotrader, remarked, “My personal favorite compact EV SUV, I’ve been drawn to the IONIQ 5 since it debuted for the 2022 model year. It looks like nothing else on the outside has a vast and practical inside, and offers lots of choices, from a long-range rear-wheel-drive model, to the dirt-ready XRT, and the howling fun IONIQ 5 N with up to 641 horsepower.”
Ricky Lao, Director of Production Planning at Hyundai Motor North America, said, “IONIQ 5 continues to redefine what drivers can expect from an electric vehicle. Its bold Parametric Dynamic design, ultra-fast-charging 800-volt electrical architecture, and spacious, tech-forward interior make it a standout in the segment. Being named one of Autotrader’s 10 Best Electric Cars for the third year in a row is a testament to Hyundai’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovation, utility, performance, and style for our customers.”
