The electric vehicle revolution is officially uncompromising. At Greg Hubler Hyundai in Muncie, we are thrilled to introduce the highly anticipated 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5. For the 2026 model year, Hyundai has dramatically upgraded this award winning crossover, introducing larger battery capacities, a rugged new XRT off road trim, and native North American Charging Standard (NACS) integration. Whether you are drawn to its retro futuristic styling, its whisper quiet cabin, or its incredible acceleration, the 2026 IONIQ 5 represents the absolute pinnacle of modern EV driving.
Driving an EV in Eastern Indiana has never been more practical. Imagine skipping the gas station entirely as you commute down McGalliard Road or drive to the Ball State University campus. With an EPA estimated range of up to 318 miles on Long Range RWD models, you can easily take a weekend road trip to Chicago or Indianapolis without an ounce of range anxiety.
When Indiana winter weather rolls in, the available dual motor AWD system provides immediate traction. For 2026, the newly introduced XRT trim even allows you to venture off the beaten path, making weekend camping trips to Prairie Creek Reservoir a breeze.
The 2026 IONIQ 5 provides a dynamic, engaging driving experience across all powertrain configurations. For this model year, Hyundai has increased the battery capacities, resulting in enhanced range and performance capabilities.

While traditional EVs are not typically known for rugged utility, the 2026 IONIQ 5 completely shifts the paradigm with the introduction of the new XRT trim.
Hyundai offers the 2026 IONIQ 5 in several distinct trims, allowing you to prioritize range, performance, or rugged capability. We have separated each trim out below for clear comparison.
The exterior of the IONIQ 5 is unlike anything else on the road, defined by its crisp geometric lines and iconic Parametric Pixel LED lighting elements. Built on a dedicated electric platform, the vehicle pushes the wheels to the absolute corners of the chassis, resulting in an incredibly long wheelbase that provides superior high speed stability.
The flush door handles automatically pop out as you approach with your key, maintaining optimal aerodynamics. For 2026, the XRT trim adds an aggressive, lifted stance and exclusive black relief badging that sets it apart from the rest of the lineup.
Because there is no traditional gas engine or transmission tunnel, the interior of the IONIQ 5 feels more like a modern, minimalist living room than a standard car cabin.

Hyundai SmartSense comes standard, providing a suite of advanced driver assist systems that act as an extra set of eyes on the road.
For 2026, Hyundai has made a monumental leap in charging convenience. The IONIQ 5 is designed to integrate seamlessly into your life, minimizing time spent waiting at chargers.
