Hyundai’s 2025 IONIQ 5 EV is cheaper than a Toyota RAV4 with up to $16,000 in discounts

The upgraded electric SUV is arriving with up to $16,000 in savings. With discounts, Hyundai’s new 2025 IONIQ 5 can be bought for under $28,000, nearly half off MSRP. That’s even cheaper than a new Toyota RAV4.

Hyundai’s best-selling electric SUV is now better than ever. The 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 was introduced last September with more range, style, and features. It now even comes with an NACS port to charge up at Tesla Superchargers.

The refreshed IONIQ 5 was the first vehicle to roll off the assembly line at Hyundai’s new EV plant in Georgia. Build in the US, it now qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit for the first time. But that’s not all.

Hyundai is already offering massive savings opportunities as the new electric SUV rolls out to dealerships. According to auto intelligence firm CarsDirect, the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 already has up to $16,000 in discounts.

In addition to the $7,500 EV tax credit, all trims feature a $7,500 Retail Cash Bonus. Buyers can use the tax credit up front, while the Cash Bonus is valid when buying or leasing.

In addition, Hyundai offers a $1,000 conquest in most areas if you trade in a competitive vehicle. This can also be used when buying or leasing.

When added up, that’s up to $16,000 in discounts. Starting at $43,975, you could potentially buy the 2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 SE Standard Range model for under $28,000.

That’s even more affordable than the 2025 Toyota RAV4, which starts at $30,245. However, Toyota’s SUV does not have a factory rebate. Hyundai’s promotion ends on February 3, 2025.

I'm skeptical on the idea that you can combine the $7500 of customer cash with the $7500 federal tax rebate -- because Hyundai has been offering the customer cash in lieu of the tax rebate, so I'm guessing that for any given vehicle, it is going to be one or the other, not both.
