The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is now officially listed for the US market, giving buyers a clearer look at pricing, trims, range and equipment for the new model year.
Unlike a full redesign, the 2027 Ioniq 5 is largely a carryover model, with Hyundai making a handful of equipment, colour and trim-related changes rather than introducing a major mechanical overhaul.

The biggest talking points remain the Ioniq 5’s competitive starting price, up to 318 miles of EPA-estimated range and its fast-charging capability. The electric crossover continues to offer both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, along with the rugged XRT variant.

2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Price in the US
For the 2027 model year, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 starts at $35,250 MSRP for the SE Standard Range RWD. The SE RWD with the larger battery starts at $37,750, while the SEL starts at $40,200. The XRT AWD is priced from $46,525, and the Limited starts at $45,225 before freight, taxes and other charges.
Compared with the 2026 model, most variants see relatively small price increases. The entry-level SE Standard Range is up by $250, while the SEL gets a $400 increase. This means Hyundai has largely maintained the Ioniq 5’s pricing strategy rather than making a major jump for the new model year.
| 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Trim | Starting MSRP | EPA Range |
|---|---|---|
| SE Standard Range RWD | $35,250 | 245 miles |
| SE RWD | $37,750 | 318 miles |
| SEL RWD | $40,200 | 318 miles |
| Limited RWD | $45,225 | 318 miles |
| XRT AWD | $46,525 | 259 miles |
Hyundai also offers AWD versions of the SE, SEL and Limited trims. Depending on the configuration, EPA-estimated range is up to 290 miles for SE/SEL AWD and 269 miles for the Limited AWD.
Range Remains One of Its Biggest Strengths
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 continues with two battery capacities in the US lineup. The SE Standard Range uses a 63kWh battery, while the higher-range versions use an 84kWh battery. Hyundai rates the long-range RWD SE, SEL and Limited at up to 318 miles on a full charge.
The XRT AWD, designed with a more rugged approach, gets an EPA-estimated 259-mile range. The dual-motor AWD versions trade some range for additional performance, with Hyundai quoting up to 320 horsepower for the AWD models. The entry-level SE Standard Range RWD produces 168 horsepower, while the larger-battery RWD models make 225 horsepower.

Fast Charging Still Sets the Ioniq 5 Apart
Charging remains one of the strongest features of the Ioniq 5. Hyundai says the 2027 model can charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes using a 350kW, 800V DC ultra-fast charger with the included CCS adapter.
For the 84kWh RWD versions with the 318-mile EPA range, Hyundai estimates that the vehicle can add up to 178 miles of range in around 15 minutes when connected to a 350kW DC fast charger. The 2027 model also comes with a native NACS charging port, allowing compatibility with NACS DC fast-charging infrastructure.
Home charging is considerably slower, as expected, with a 240-volt AC charger taking approximately 7 hours and 20 minutes to charge the larger 84kWh battery from 10 to 100 percent.
So, What Actually Changed for 2027?
This is where expectations need to be realistic. The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is not a major new-generation model. Recent US-market information describes it as a carryover model year with relatively limited changes.
One notable change is the availability of roof rails across the range, with them standard on SEL and higher trims rather than being limited to specific versions. Hyundai is also making HomeLink exclusive to the Limited trim, while the cargo cover is offered as an accessory.
Hyundai has also dropped the Gravity Gold Matte and Sage Silver Matte exterior colour options for the 2027 model year. Beyond these changes, the overall design, powertrain choices, battery options and core technology remain familiar.
2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 vs Competition
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 enters a US EV market where buyers have several alternatives, including the Tesla Model Y, Toyota bZ and Chevrolet Equinox EV. Its combination of up to 318 miles of EPA range, 800V charging technology and a $35,250 starting MSRP keeps it positioned in a competitive part of the market.
The bigger story, therefore, isn’t a dramatic transformation for 2027. Instead, Hyundai has retained the Ioniq 5 formula while keeping pricing relatively close to the outgoing model and maintaining the vehicle’s high-speed charging and long-range configurations.
Auto India Daily Verdict
The 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 is more of a refined carryover than a major update. Its $35,250 starting price, up to 318-mile EPA range, 84kWh long-range battery and 800V fast-charging capability remain the key reasons it stands out in the US EV market.
The changes for 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 are relatively small, but that also means buyers get a familiar package without sacrificing the Ioniq 5’s core strengths.
