Hyundai of San Bruno – Why the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT Is the Right Adventure EV for Daly City, CA Commuters
Some trims are built to turn heads; the 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT is built to turn the everyday into something more. XRT brings a unique blend of capability and style: a 23mm lift and tuned suspension for extra clearance, exclusive 18-inch XRT wheels with all-terrain tires, distinctive XRT front and rear bumpers, and blacked-out accents that look right at home on coastal roads, trailhead parking lots, and downtown ramps alike. Underneath, the e-GMP platform and available dual-motor AWD deliver confident traction, instant torque, and the kind of smooth, quiet ride that makes fatigue fade away on Highway 1 or I-280. Inside, the XRT-exclusive interior treatment complements the IONIQ 5’s airy design, long wheelbase, and flat floor, which together create unexpected space for friends, pets, and gear.
Charging flexibility is where XRT—and every IONIQ 5—truly shines. The 800V/350kW DC ultra-fast system can take you from 10-80% in about 20 minutes on compatible stations, ideal for quick top-ups during a busy day. The first Hyundai with a direct NACS port, the 2025 IONIQ 5 now taps Tesla Superchargers without an adapter, and it still includes a CCS adapter for other fast-charging networks. For real-world versatility, available Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power lets you plug in small appliances, laptops, or tools at the campsite or on the job. And with IONIQ 5’s EV Route Planner, you’ll see charging stops along your path and arrive with confidence.

Available Surround View Monitor and Blind-Spot View Monitor enhance awareness in tight trailhead parking or crowded city garages. The result is a trim that moves effortlessly from dirt to downtown, giving you both the style and practical tools to make every drive simpler.
For shoppers who want a capable EV with authentic personality, the XRT answers with substance. Its off-road-inspired stance isn’t just for show—paired with instant torque and an available AWD setup, it handles slippery launches and uneven surfaces with confidence. The flat floor and long wheelbase translate to excellent second-row legroom, while the versatile cargo area adapts for bikes, boards, strollers, or weekend baggage. And because the 2025 IONIQ 5 XRT keeps cords out of sight with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, the cabin stays clean and calm even when life gets busy.
