The vehicle puts an all-wheel drive system in the spotlight that's made possible thanks to a dual-motor drivetrain system that's further supported with an 84kWh battery. This rides on a one-inch suspension lift tuned specifically with this application in mind, while the black 18-inch wheels on the vehicle are exclusive to the XRT. The vehicle is also paired with all-terrain tires to further provide confidence for drivers when heading into demanding off-road environments. The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT is rounded out with a North American Charging Standard port that will enable it to be charged up at [Tesla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-Mini-Countryman-SUV) [Supercharger](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-bmw-i3) locations across the continent. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 28% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **EV Off-roading:** Electric vehicles like the Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT are entering the off-road market, expanding the range of applications for EV technology beyond urban commuting. - **Dual-motor Systems:** The implementation of dual-motor drivetrains in electric vehicles enhances both performance and versatility, making them suitable for a wider variety of driving conditions. - **Battery Integration:** Innovations in battery technology, such as the 84kWh battery in the Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT, are enabling longer, more adventurous trips, even in demanding terrains. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry is rapidly evolving with new electric off-road vehicles that offer both sustainability and enhanced performance. - **Energy Storage:** Advances in battery technology and energy storage solutions are revolutionizing electric vehicle capabilities and expanding their application scope. - **Tire Manufacturing:** Tire manufacturers are innovating with all-terrain options specifically designed for electric vehicles, addressing unique performance and efficiency needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aggressive Overlanding-Ready SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-santa-fe-xrt-concept.md) - [High-Performance Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ioniq-5-n.md) - [Camping-Friendly Crossover SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-9.md) - [Utilitarian Electric Four-Wheel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utv.md) - [Aerodynamic All-Electric Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-6.md) - [Quick-Charge Streamlined Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ioniq.md) - [Quick-Charge Electric CUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-inster.md) - [Off-Road Electric SUV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/q6-etron-offroad-concept.md) - [Off-Road Utility Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpha-motor-superrex.md)
