The new Hyundai IONIQ 5 is one of the most compelling electric vehicles on the road today — and Watson Family Hyundai in Tinley Park, Illinois, is your local destination to experience it in person. With its bold retro-futuristic design, segment-leading 800V ultra-fast charging architecture, and a spacious flat-floor interior that reimagines what an EV cabin can be, the IONIQ 5 stands apart in the growing electric crossover segment. Whether you’re commuting across the south suburbs of Chicago, planning a road trip, or simply looking to make the switch to electric, the IONIQ 5 delivers the range, technology, and versatility that modern drivers demand. Shoppers from Orland Park, Mokena, Joliet, and across the Chicagoland area come to Watson Family Hyundai to explore the full IONIQ 5 lineup.
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 is a purpose-built all-electric crossover SUV built on Hyundai’s dedicated Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP). That platform allows engineers to move the battery pack low into the floor, creating an unusually flat and open interior — more reminiscent of a lounge than a traditional vehicle cabin — while delivering the kind of dynamic handling and low center of gravity that EV drivers love.
Under the hood, or rather beneath the floor, the IONIQ 5 is available with two battery configurations and both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrains. The standard-range model delivers an EPA-estimated 245 miles of range, while the larger 84-kWh long-range battery pushes EPA-estimated range up to 318 miles on RWD configurations. AWD models, which pair front and rear motors for a combined 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque, offer up to 290 miles of range.
What truly sets the IONIQ 5 apart from competitors is its 800V electrical architecture. Most EVs on the market charge at 400V, but the IONIQ 5 operates on an 800V system, enabling it to accept up to 350 kW of DC fast charging — replenishing the battery from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes at a compatible ultra-fast charger. The IONIQ 5 also comes equipped with a native NACS (North American Charging Standard) port, providing direct access to the Tesla Supercharger network and thousands of other NACS-compatible stations without any adapter. On top of all that, Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology lets you use the IONIQ 5’s battery to power external devices — from camping gear and power tools to laptops and small appliances — making it a true mobile power station.

The IONIQ 5 lineup offers five trim levels, each carefully structured to deliver a distinct level of comfort, technology, and capability. Whether you’re looking for an efficient daily driver or a fully loaded electric crossover, there’s an IONIQ 5 built for you. Explore the full range of Hyundai EV and hybrid models available at Watson Family Hyundai.
The SE Standard Range is the entry point into the IONIQ 5 family, powered by a 63-kWh battery and a rear-wheel drive electric motor producing 168 horsepower. Key standard features include dual 12.3-inch digital displays (instrument cluster and touchscreen infotainment), Hyundai SmartSense driver assistance technologies, stain-resistant cloth upholstery, an 8-speaker audio system, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With an EPA-estimated 245 miles of range and access to 800V ultra-fast charging, this trim offers tremendous value for buyers entering the EV market. It’s an ideal choice for commuters and urban drivers in Tinley Park, Matteson, and Chicago Ridge who want a capable, feature-rich electric vehicle at the most accessible level.
The SE steps up to the larger 84-kWh battery and rear-wheel drive configuration, immediately unlocking up to an EPA-estimated 318 miles of range — among the highest in the segment. This trim adds 19-inch alloy wheels, LED automatic headlights with high-beam assist, LED taillights, and heated side mirrors with turn signal indicators. AWD is available as an option, and drivers who choose it gain 320 combined horsepower and 290 miles of estimated range. The SE is the sweet spot for buyers who want maximum range and strong everyday performance without moving up the trim ladder. It suits drivers across Joliet, New Lenox, and Frankfort who regularly travel longer distances.
The SEL builds on the SE with a more premium interior and an expanded suite of driver assistance features. Notable additions include H-Tex leatherette seating, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front and rear seats, Highway Driving Assist 2, Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium, and a hands-free smart trunk. The SEL also offers AWD availability, making it an exceptionally well-rounded midrange option. Whether you’re ferrying the family across Homer Glen and Palos Heights or heading downtown to Chicago, the SEL’s blend of comfort and technology makes every drive more enjoyable. The SEL represents the most popular choice for buyers looking to balance features and value in the IONIQ 5 lineup.
The XRT is Hyundai’s rugged-adventure interpretation of the IONIQ 5, and it comes standard with AWD and 320 horsepower. Unique styling cues — including blacked-out trim, all-terrain tires, and a more aggressive exterior profile — give the XRT a look that sets it apart on the street or on the trail. Feature highlights include a surround-view camera system, blind-spot monitoring camera, parking-collision avoidance assist, an 8-way power driver’s seat, Bose 8-speaker premium audio, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability. With an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range, the XRT is purpose-built for drivers in Bolingbrook, Downers Grove, and Mokena who want adventure-ready capability without sacrificing the refinement of a premium electric crossover.
The IONIQ 5 Limited is the flagship trim, and it leaves nothing on the table. It combines all of the XRT’s technology and safety features with top-tier luxury appointments, including ventilated front seats, a panoramic fixed glass roof, a head-up display, a digital rearview mirror, 64-color ambient interior lighting, and advanced radar-based Rear Occupant Alert. The Limited is available in both RWD and AWD configurations, with up to 318 miles of range (RWD) or 269 miles (AWD). With the full suite of Hyundai SmartSense active safety systems and all the comfort a modern EV buyer could want, the Limited is designed for those who expect the very best from their electric vehicle experience. It’s the IONIQ 5 for buyers across Midlothian, Downers Grove, and beyond who refuse to compromise.

No matter which configuration fits your lifestyle, the IONIQ 5 is built for confident everyday driving and longer road trips without range anxiety.
The IONIQ 5 features an 800V electrical architecture — a significant engineering advantage over most EVs that operate on 400V systems. This means the IONIQ 5 can accept up to 350 kW of DC fast charging power, enabling a charge from 10% to 80% in as little as 18 minutes at a compatible ultra-fast charger. For everyday home charging, the IONIQ 5 accepts Level 2 AC charging as well. The vehicle also comes equipped with a native NACS port, giving drivers access to the Tesla Supercharger network and thousands of other fast-charging stations across the country.

Yes. The IONIQ 5 is available in both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations across most trim levels. The SE and SEL offer AWD as an option, adding a second electric motor at the front axle and boosting total output to 320 horsepower and 446 lb-ft of torque. The XRT comes with AWD as standard equipment, making it the go-to choice for drivers who want both adventure capability and all-weather confidence. Whether you’re navigating Illinois winters or just prefer the added stability of AWD, the IONIQ 5 has a configuration to match your needs.
Vehicle-to-Load, or V2L, is a bidirectional power feature available on the IONIQ 5 XRT and Limited trims that turns your EV’s battery into a portable power source. Using a compatible adapter, you can plug in external devices — laptops, power tools, camping equipment, portable appliances, and more — and draw power directly from the vehicle’s battery pack. The IONIQ 5 can output up to 3.6 kW through the V2L port, enough to run a wide range of devices for hours. It’s a feature that makes the IONIQ 5 useful far beyond the daily commute, whether you’re tailgating, camping, or dealing with a power outage at home.
