The XRT model's unique features, from camouflage cladding to orange recovery hooks, add a touch of boldness to its appearance, setting it apart from the standard Ionic 5.
Inside the XRT trim, the team discovers a blend of comfort and functionality, with XRT stitching and a user-friendly 12.3-inch screen equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. As they delve into challenging scenarios like the diagonal and three-wheeled slip tests, the XRT's performance shines, demonstrating its readiness for off-road adventures.

From navigating treacherous trenches to conquering log courses, the XRT showcases its off-road prowess, surprising even the most skeptical onlookers. While not a full-blown rock crawler, the XRT's enhancements, including a suspension raise and terrain modes, elevate its performance, making it a formidable contender in the off-road arena. Overall, the team's journey with the Ionic 5 XRT reveals a vehicle that exceeds expectations, blending style, functionality, and off-road capability in a unique and thrilling package.
