The XRT variant also boasts visual enhancements, including “digital camouflage” cladding on the front and rear bumpers, contrasted with dark elements for a bold, rugged appearance. Two functional red-painted hooks at the front add to its off-road practicality. Black mirrors, unique badging, and a three-spoke steering wheel further differentiate it from the regular Ioniq 5.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT Battery and Performance

In terms of performance, the Ioniq 5 XRT is powered by an 84kWh battery, sending power to motors on each axle, offering all-wheel drive. Although Hyundai hasn’t disclosed the exact power output, it’s expected to be in line with the standard dual-motor Ioniq 5, producing around 320hp.

The Ioniq 5 XRT joins Hyundai’s growing Ioniq family, alongside the performance-focused Ioniq 5 N and the standard Ioniq 5. While this rugged variant has been revealed internationally, it’s still unclear if Hyundai will bring the Ioniq 5 XRT to India. However, with the Ioniq 5 facelift expected to launch in India soon, there’s hope that off-road enthusiasts may get to experience this unique electric vehicle on Indian roads.
