Hi Charlie!
Installing the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # EH72HR on a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 will require cutting into the bumper fascia to get it installed, but there is no drilling needed. From the center line of the bumper fascia, you will need to cut a 6-1/2" tall x 2-3/4" wide strip to allow the receiver to come out from under the vehicle. We haven't had a chance to install this yet, so we do not have an install video showing this. The instructions will show it quite well though.
What are you planning on using the hitch for?
