The 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT Stole Subaru's Best Idea
https://insideevs.com/reviews/751094/hyundai-ioniq-5-xrt-first-drive/
There are huge swaths of these United States where you can pick up a rock, throw it in any direction, and you will have a decent chance of it landing on a Subaru Crosstrek.
Its raging success isn’t because it’s a great and compelling automobile. It’s because the playbook is so effective: Take an ordinary hatchback—an Impreza, in Subaru’s case—add extra ground clearance and rugged looks, and maybe toss in some all-terrain tires. Then you sell it to folks who live in snowy states, frequently use unpaved roads or just love outdoor adventures. Step three is just counting your cash.
This is the playbook Hyundai is trying to bring to the electric vehicle world with the all-new Ioniq 5 XRT. And after sliding one around some dirt roads outside of Palm Desert, CA, we're also convinced the idea has legs.
