2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5, a popular all-electric compact SUV: 

⚡ EPA-Rated Efficiency (MPGe)

Because the IONIQ 5 is an electric vehicle (EV), fuel "economy” is expressed in MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent):

Rear-Wheel-Drive (RWD) trims:

• City: ~131 MPGe

• Highway: ~100 MPGe

• Combined: ~115 MPGe (varies slightly by trim) 

All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) trims:

• City: ~116 MPGe

• Highway: ~96 MPGe

• Combined: ~106 MPGe (typical for SEL/Limited AWD) 

More rugged versions like the XRT AWD have lower efficiency:

• City: ~103 MPGe

• Highway: ~85 MPGe

• Combined: ~94 MPGe

🔋 EPA Electric Range

Range varies significantly with battery size, motor configuration, and drivetrain: 

• RWD with Long-Range Battery: ~318 miles EPA range

• AWD with Long-Range Battery: ~290 miles EPA range

• AWD (Limited): ~269 miles EPA range

• AWD (XRT): ~259 miles EPA range

• RWD (Standard Range battery): ~245 miles EPA range 

🚗 What This Means

• City MPGe is typically higher than highway, which is common for EVs because regenerative braking recovers energy in stop-and-go traffic. 

• Range varies with battery size and drivetrain: RWD and long-range battery setups deliver the best overall miles per charge. 

• EPA range figures reflect a mix of city and highway driving, and real-world range can be lower at sustained highway speeds or in cold weather conditions.
