A new off-road version of Hyundai\u2019s top-selling IONIQ 5<\/a> is officially out for testing. Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5 XRT was spotted with rugged new design elements and features. A sticker attached to the vehicle confirms that the off-road-focused EV will include Hyundai\u2019s E-Terrain tech.<\/p>\n

We first caught wind that Hyundai was planning to launch a rugged XRT IONIQ 5<\/a> variant in March, designed for the North American market.<\/p>\n

North America was Hyundai\u2019s largest sales market, with over one million models sold last year. Hyundai is already establishing itself as a leader in the US electric vehicle market.<\/p>\n

According to Motor Intelligence<\/em>, Hyundai Motor Group, including Kia and Genesis, accounted for 10% of EV sales<\/a> in the US in the second quarter. The impressive performance was enough to outpace Ford (7.4%) and GM (6.3%) as the American automakers continue to push back<\/a> major EV initiatives.<\/p>\n

Hyundai is upping the ante as it readies a rugged new IONIQ 5 variant. Hyundai\u2019s IONIQ 5 XRT was spotted in Korea, revealing several new features and design elements.<\/p>\n

Despite the camouflage, you can see that Hyundai completely redesigned the bumper. The prototype has big red front tow hooks and parking sensors on the bumper. The lower section also appears to be modified while rugged wheels have been added.<\/p>\n
