2026 to 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5: what changed in price and trims for Houston buyers

Hyundai published a new MSRP for each 2027 Ioniq 5 trim, and the dollar change from 2026 differs trim by trim. We sell the Ioniq 5 at our Southwest Freeway store in Houston.

Each 2027 trim costs more than its 2026 version, and the increases are not the same.

Which 2027 Ioniq 5 trims cost more than 2026, and by how much?

The SE Standard Range starts at $35,250 for 2027 (Hyundai, 2027), up from $35,000 for 2026. The SE starts at $37,750 for 2027, up from $37,500 for 2026. The SEL starts at $40,200, up from $39,800. The Limited starts at $45,225 for 2027 (Hyundai, 2027), up from $45,075 for 2026. The XRT starts at $46,525, up from $46,275. The lineup keeps the same five trims as 2026: SE Standard Range, SE, SEL, Limited and XRT. All of these prices are starting MSRPs, so the number on the sticker will depend on the trim, the drive system and the options you choose.

Compare the starting price with the full cost. Price the trim you want, then add the destination charge and the Texas taxes and fees that come after it.

What does a 2027 Ioniq 5 cost with the destination charge?

The destination charge on the 2027 Ioniq 5 lineup is $1,650 (Cars.com, 2026; iSeeCars, 2027). That charge sits on top of the MSRP, so it is part of every number you compare.

Say a buyer picks an SE Standard Range at a $35,250 MSRP. With the $1,650 destination charge, the price before tax, title and registration comes to $36,900.

What Texas taxes and fees apply to a new Ioniq 5 in Houston?

A new Ioniq 5 bought in Texas carries a motor vehicle sales tax of 6.25% of the sales price, minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). Harris County adds a local registration fee of $11.50 on top of the $50.75 base registration fee for a passenger vehicle (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

An electric car carries one more cost. A fully electric vehicle pays an annual $200 fee at registration renewal, and a new electric vehicle issued two years of registration pays a $400 fee (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).

How do you find a 2027 Ioniq 5 in stock in southwest Houston?

FAQ

What is the EPA range of each 2027 Ioniq 5 trim?

Hyundai’s EPA-estimated range for the 2027 SE Standard Range RWD is 245 miles (Hyundai USA, 2027). The 2027 SE, SEL and Limited RWD are rated at 318 miles, and the 2027 SE and SEL AWD are rated at 290 miles (Hyundai USA, 2027).

What warranty comes with a new 2027 Ioniq 5?

Hyundai’s published coverage for the 2026 Ioniq 5 is a basic warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles. The corrosion warranty is 7 years with unlimited miles, and roadside assistance also runs 5 years, with no mileage limit.

How many people and how much cargo does the 2027 Ioniq 5 hold?

The 2026 Ioniq 5 seats five on every trim. Hyundai lists 41.7 inches of front legroom, 39.4 inches of rear legroom and 58.5 cubic feet of maximum cargo room.

What federal tax credit applies to a new Ioniq 5 bought in Houston?

None applies. The IRS says the federal new clean vehicle credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025, and the previously owned clean vehicle credit has ended too (Internal Revenue Service, 2026). A new or used EV bought today does not qualify for either credit.

What should you ask a Houston dealer about price besides MSRP?

Ask for the out-the-door price in writing, with the destination charge, the taxes and the title and registration fees shown separately. Ask for the documentary fee too. Texas sets no hard dollar cap on it, but a fee of $225 or less is presumed reasonable, and a fee above $225 requires a notice and cost analysis filed with the state credit commissioner’s office (Legal Information Institute, 2024; Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner, 2024).

Can you sell your car outright instead of trading it in?

Yes. A straight sale to us is possible too, separate from any trade. Ask for both numbers before you decide, so you can compare a sale against a trade-in on the same day.
