A prototype of the upcoming Ioniq 5 XRT was spotted in the States wearing plastic body cladding, roof rails, and meaty tires
Hyundai recently broadened the Ioniq 5 lineup by introducing a high-performance N variant boasting 641 horsepower . Now, the company is gearing up to take a distinctly different direction with a more rugged and off-road-capable XRT model. Recently spotted undergoing testing here in the States, the Ioniq 5 XRT is heavily camouflaged but appears significantly more rugged than the standard model.
The rugged trim is available on an assortment of different models including the Tucson, Palisade, Santa Cruz, and Santa Fe. On the latter SUV, the XRT has black accents, roof rails, and dark chrome flourishes. Buyers will also find around 1.5 inches of additional ground clearance and 18-inch wheels wrapped in 30-inch all-terrain tires. The upgrades to the Ioniq 5 XRT appear to be similar in nature and this helps to give the model a less hatchback-like appearance.
