In this thrilling episode by The Fast Lane Car, the 2025 Hyundai Ionic 5 XRT model faces the ultimate challenge - an all-wheel drive torture test. The team puts this beast through its paces, testing its off-road capabilities with precision and flair. With the front wheel slip test, the XRT's dual motor setup impressively transfers torque, showcasing its power and agility. The XRT model's unique features, from camouflage cladding to orange recovery hooks, add a touch of boldness to its appearance, setting it apart from the standard Ionic 5.

Inside the XRT trim, the team discovers a blend of comfort and functionality, with XRT stitching and a user-friendly 12.3-inch screen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As they delve into challenging scenarios like the diagonal and three-wheeled slip tests, the XRT's performance shines, demonstrating its readiness for off-road adventures. Despite lacking a spare tire, the XRT model comes prepared with a tire mobility kit, ensuring drivers are equipped for unexpected obstacles on the road less traveled.

As the team pushes the Ionic 5 XRT through rugged terrain, it proves its mettle with a mix of power and finesse, tackling obstacles with determination. From navigating treacherous trenches to conquering log courses, the XRT showcases its off-road prowess, surprising even the most skeptical onlookers. While not a full-blown rock crawler, the XRT's enhancements, including a suspension raise and terrain modes, elevate its performance, making it a formidable contender in the off-road arena. Overall, the team's journey with the Ionic 5 XRT reveals a vehicle that exceeds expectations, blending style, functionality, and off-road capability in a unique and thrilling package.
