2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SEL

The Ioniq 5 is Hyundai's electric compact SUV, the one that trades the usual crossover look for a retro-futuristic hatchback shape. Inside, the cabin feels airy and modern, with comfortable seats and a sliding center console that adds a clever touch of practicality. The hatchback body gives you a useful amount of cargo space, and the flat floor means rear passengers get plenty of legroom. The SEL splits the difference between the base SE and the loaded Limited, adding luxury touches and the dual-motor setup for better grip in the wet. Dual motors give the SEL 320 horsepower and all-wheel drive traction, yet its 290 miles of range rating keeps range anxiety off your mind on the daily commute. Expect a firmer ride than the SE's softer setup, but the trade-off is sharper steering response and better composure on winding roads.
