Hyundai IONIQ 5 Named To Autotrader’s 10 Best Electric Cars for 2025

The 2025 IONIQ 5 has been named one of Autotrader’s 10 Best Electric Cars for 2025. This marks the fourth consecutive year the compact SUV has earned a spot on the prestigious list. The Autotrader editorial team recognized IONIQ 5 for its bold exterior design, innovative and spacious interior layout, versatile powertrain options, and overall excellence.

“I recently spent a week in the IONIQ 5 and can confirm it’s still every bit as fresh and recommendable as when it debuted,” said Autotrader director and principal editor Jason Allan. “I can also verify that a mountain bike will fit in the back.”

“My personal favorite compact EV SUV, I’ve been drawn to the IONIQ 5 since it debuted for the 2022 model year,” said Matt Degen, senior editor, Autotrader. “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.”
