Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT Design:
Hyundai has designed the Ioniq 5 XRT for customers who seek adventure without compromising on the electric driving experience. Its suspension lift by 23mm enhances ground clearance, and the approach and departure angles have improved to 19.8 and 30 degrees, respectively. These updates make it better equipped to handle rough terrains compared to the standard Ioniq 5 model.
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.
