That move was enough to make Tesla sit up and take notice, since the Hyundai now sits just $1,910 above the Model Y Performance's $57,990 sticker.Now, thanks to an ordering guide dug up by CarsDirect, we get a peek at what the regular 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will set you back. The verdict? Yes, prices are up, but only by a hair – think $150 to $400 extra, depending on which trim you're eyeing.Trim2026 MSRP2027 MSRPIncreaseSE Standard Range$35,000$35,250$250SE$37,500$37,750$250SEL$39,800$40,200$400Limited$48,975$49,125$150XRT$46,275$46,525$250What You Get for the MoneyThe 2027 SE Standard Range still holds the title of the cheapest Ioniq 5, coming in at $35,250 before destination charges. That gets you a 245-mile EPA-estimated range. If you want to stretch your legs a bit further, the longer-range SE bumps you up to 318 miles for $37,750.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe SEL gets the biggest bump, up $400 to $40,200. The rugged XRT climbs by $250 to $46,525, and the Limited barely moves, up just $150 to $49,125.Aside from these price tweaks, Hyundai isn't shaking up the Ioniq 5 lineup for 2027. The recipe stays the same: Standard Range for the budget-minded, and a longer-range version for those who'd rather not spend half their life at a charging station.Of note, destination charges stick at $1,650, so your true entry price for a 2027 Ioniq 5 is $36,900 before you factor in any incentives.HyundaiStill Cheaper Than Tesla Model YHyundai's decision to keep the Ioniq 5's pricing intact is an advantage over popular rivals in the EV segment, such as the Tesla Model Y. The cheapest Model Y starts at $39,990, while the 2027 Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range kicks off at $35,250. That's a $4,740 MSRP edge for Hyundai before you even get to destination fees or incentives.AdvertisementAdvertisementOf course, Tesla still wins the range game, with 357 miles on tap for the Model Y versus 245 miles for the base Ioniq 5. Step up to the 318-mile Ioniq 5 SE, though, and the price gap shrinks to $2,240 compared to the $39,990 Model Y.So, while Hyundai isn't putting Ioniq 5 prices on ice, it's keeping things pretty accessible for another year. With the N version also dropping in price, Hyundai is clearly making affordability a bigger part of the Ioniq 5's charm, especially with Tesla still looming as the main rival.View the 5 images of this gallery on the original articleThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 17, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
