2027 Hyundai IONIQ 5: What’s New, Range, and Pricing
The 2027 Hyundai IONIQ 5 arrives as a carryover model year with modest price increases and a handful of equipment changes. Five trims span eight drivetrain configurations. The choice between rear- and all-wheel drive moves both range and output more than any other decision you will make here. For shoppers across Ontario, Fontana, Corona, Rancho Cucamonga, Eastvale, and Puente Hills, here is what changed for 2027, what each configuration delivers, and how the charging actually works.
What’s New for the 2027 IONIQ 5
Hyundai carried the IONIQ 5 into 2027 largely unchanged. Battery sizes, motor outputs, and EPA-estimated range all match the 2026 model. What did change:
Pricing
Every configuration carries a higher MSRP than its 2026 equivalent. The smallest increase lands on Limited, the largest on SEL.
Roof Rails
Roof side rails are now standard on SEL and above, where previously they were limited to XRT and Limited.
HomeLink
Hyundai HomeLink is now exclusive to the Limited trim.
Cargo Cover
The cargo cover moved from standard equipment to an available accessory.
Exterior Colors
Two matte exterior colors, Gravity Gold Matte and Sage Silver Matte, were discontinued for 2027.
2027 IONIQ 5 Trims and Pricing
The 2027 IONIQ 5 lineup is five trims — SE Standard Range, SE, SEL, XRT, and Limited — offered across eight drivetrain configurations. All-wheel drive is available on SE, SEL, and Limited. The XRT is all-wheel drive only, and the SE Standard Range is rear-wheel drive only.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Starting MSRP | EPA-Estimated Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| SE Standard Range | RWD | $36,900 MSRP | 245 miles |
| SE | RWD | $39,400 MSRP | 318 miles |
| SE | AWD | $42,900 MSRP | 290 miles |
| SEL | RWD | $41,850 MSRP | 318 miles |
| SEL | AWD | $45,350 MSRP | 290 miles |
| Limited | RWD | $46,875 MSRP | 318 miles |
| XRT | AWD | $48,175 MSRP | 259 miles |
| Limited | AWD | $50,775 MSRP | 269 miles |
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
The SE Standard Range pairs a 63 kWh battery with a single rear motor making 168 horsepower. The SE swaps in the 84 kWh battery and 225 horsepower, taking EPA-estimated range to 318 miles — the longest in the lineup. The SEL adds comfort and convenience equipment on the same powertrain. The XRT is the off-road-styled configuration and the only one rated to tow. The Limited tops the range with the most standard technology.
Every all-wheel-drive configuration uses a dual-motor setup producing a combined 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. Every rear-wheel-drive long-range configuration produces 225 horsepower and 258 lb-ft. All configurations use a single-speed transmission.
EPA-Estimated Range and Efficiency
Battery size, drivetrain, and wheel choice all move the range figure. Rear-wheel drive is consistently the efficiency leader.
| Configuration | Battery | EPA-Estimated Range | EPA-Estimated MPGe (City/Hwy/Combined) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SE Standard Range RWD | 63 kWh | 245 miles | 131 / 100 / 115 |
| SE, SEL, Limited RWD | 84 kWh | 318 miles | 129 / 100 / 114 |
| SE, SEL AWD | 84 kWh | 290 miles | 116 / 96 / 106 |
| Limited AWD | 84 kWh | 269 miles | 108 / 88 / 98 |
| XRT AWD | 84 kWh | 259 miles | 103 / 85 / 94 |
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
A long-range rear-wheel-drive IONIQ 5 travels 59 more EPA-estimated miles than the XRT on the same battery, because the XRT’s all-terrain tires and lifted suspension cost efficiency. On a 60-to-80-mile daily round trip, any 84 kWh configuration covers a work week between charges.
Charging: Two Paths, Two Different Speeds
Most IONIQ 5 coverage gets this wrong, and it matters on road trips.
DC Fast Charging
Every 2027 IONIQ 5 has a factory-installed NACS port, so it plugs directly into Tesla Supercharger stalls with no adapter. That is the convenient path, but it is not the quickest one. Supercharger stalls run at 400 volts, which caps the IONIQ 5 at 150 kW.
The car’s own architecture is 800 volts. Reaching its full speed means using a CCS adapter at an 800-volt station rated above 250 kW. Hyundai’s published charging specifications put the three scenarios this far apart:
| Charging Method | Power | 10–80% Charge Time |
|---|---|---|
| Native NACS port, 400-volt station | 150 kW | 30 minutes |
| CCS adapter, 800-volt station | Above 250 kW | 20 minutes |
| CCS adapter, low-output station | 50 kW | 1 hour 21 minutes |
Those times cover the 84 kWh battery. The smaller 63 kWh SE Standard Range charges faster on the NACS port, at 24 minutes, and takes 1 hour 1 minute at a 50 kW station.
The practical takeaway: Supercharger access is easier to find, an 800-volt CCS station is faster, and a 50 kW charger is neither. Most owners will use the first two.
Home Charging
On a 240-volt Level 2 charger, a full 10-to-100-percent charge takes about 7 hours 20 minutes on the 84 kWh battery. The 63 kWh SE Standard Range needs about 5 hours 40 minutes. Our IONIQ 5 range and charging guide breaks down more scenarios.
Interior Space, Cargo, and Towing
Every configuration seats five and shares the same cargo dimensions: 26.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats, expanding to 58.5 cubic feet with the rear seatbacks folded.
The IONIQ 5 rides on Hyundai’s dedicated E-GMP electric platform. That gives it a 118.1-inch wheelbase and a flat floor with no transmission tunnel, so the center rear passenger gets real foot space. Rear legroom measures 39.4 inches across every configuration. Front headroom is 39.8 inches on SE, SEL, and XRT and 39.1 inches on Limited, where the panoramic roof takes overhead room; rear headroom is 38.7 and 37.5 inches respectively.
Towing is limited to one configuration. The XRT all-wheel drive, equipped with the available factory tow hitch, is rated at 2,700 pounds. No other IONIQ 5 configuration carries a tow rating.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
Technology
Every 2027 IONIQ 5 pairs a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch center touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the lineup. USB-C outlets number three in the first row and two in the second.
Bluelink+ connected services are included and split into two packages. The Basic package covers safety and car care. The Advanced package handles remote start, remote climate, remote lock and unlock, and vehicle location, reachable by app, web, or voice assistant.
What Changes as You Move Up the Trims
Three features separate the four main trims more than any others:
| Feature | SE | SEL | XRT | Limited |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highway Driving Assist | HDA | HDA | HDA 2 | HDA 2 |
| Wireless phone charger | Not available | Standard | Standard | Standard |
| Roof side rails | Not available | Standard | Standard | Standard |
Highway Driving Assist combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Highway Driving Assist 2 adds map-linked speed adjustment and assisted lane changes.
Vehicle-to-Load power, which runs household devices from the battery through a second-row outlet, is standard on XRT and Limited and is not offered on SEL. XRT and Limited also add a Premium Head-Up Display, Surround View Monitor, and Remote Smart Parking Assist 2. The Limited layers on ventilated front seats, a panoramic Vision Roof, and a digital rearview mirror with HomeLink.
Safety
Every 2027 IONIQ 5 carries eight airbags: two front, two front side, two side curtain, and two rear side. Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance is standard and includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot collision warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, and a rear occupant alert.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the IONIQ 5 Good in moderate overlap front, small overlap front on the driver side, and side impact. IIHS named the 2026 IONIQ 5 a TOP SAFETY PICK+ and has not yet rated the 2027 model year. Headlights are rated Good on XRT and Limited and Acceptable on SE and SEL. The LATCH child-seat anchor system is rated Acceptable.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 2027 IONIQ 5 has the longest range?
The rear-wheel-drive long-range configurations — SE, SEL, and Limited — all deliver an EPA-estimated 318 miles on the 84 kWh battery. Rear-wheel drive outranges all-wheel drive at every equivalent trim because a single motor draws less energy than two. The SE RWD at $39,400 MSRP is the least expensive way to get the full 318 miles.
Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Can the 2027 IONIQ 5 tow?
One configuration can. The XRT all-wheel drive with the available factory tow hitch is rated at 2,700 pounds. No other trim or drivetrain combination in the 2027 lineup carries a towing rating.
Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.
How long does the 2027 IONIQ 5 take to charge?
On a 240-volt Level 2 home charger, a 10-to-100-percent charge takes about 7 hours 20 minutes with the 84 kWh battery and about 5 hours 40 minutes with the 63 kWh battery. On DC fast charging, 10 to 80 percent takes about 30 minutes through the native NACS port at 150 kW, or about 20 minutes with a CCS adapter at an 800-volt station rated above 250 kW.
What is the difference between Highway Driving Assist and Highway Driving Assist 2?
Highway Driving Assist, standard on SE and SEL, combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering. Highway Driving Assist 2, standard on XRT and Limited, adds map-linked speed adjustment that slows the vehicle for curves and speed limit changes, plus assisted lane changes initiated with the turn signal. Both are driver aids that require an attentive driver.
