First, it’s critical to point out that driving the new IONIQ 5 is made worry-free with NACS charging compatibility.

Finally, you can relieve yourself of range anxiety when you drive the IONIQ 5 through Bedford (and quite a ways out of town).
Get Situated Fast With the IONIQ 5’s Intuitive Dash
When driving the new 2025 IONIQ 5, everything that you could possibly need is set before you. The dashboard features a satisfying balance of physical and digital controls for a cockpit that feels balanced and intuitive. This finely crafted layout makes driving in Bedford feel less stressful and much safer with minimal distractions.
A 12.3-inch infotainment screen comes standard in the 2025 IONIQ 5 and has been made better with a faster operating system and more accurate navigation. Simplified buttons for your HVAC controls keep you from spending more time on your display screen when you need to keep your eyes on the road.
The 2025 IONIQ 5 Drives How Electric Should, And Better
And now, we have come to the IONIQ 5’s drive feel. When equipped with the brand’s HTRAC AWD system, every drive in Bedford feels smooth and fitting of a fully electrified platform. The 2025 IONIQ 5 is crafted with a longer wheelbase than that of Hyundai’s Palisade which means more interior space to take in.
