Is there a hitch for the new 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5?

Expert Reply:
There sure is Rob and congrats on the new SUV. To add a hitch to your 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 5, I recommend the EcoHitch item # EH72HR. This hitch is custom fit for your Ioniq 5 and comes with all hardware necessary for installation. The crosstube mounts entirely behind the rear bumper so all you're going to see is the 2" receiver.
The EcoHitch item # EH72HR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 2,500 lbs towing capacity and a 375 lbs maximum tongue weight, which means it's going to be great for towing a small trailer or using an accessory like a bike rack or cargo box.
I've attached a couple pictures below so you can see see what this hitch looks like installed.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for and how are you liking your new Ioniq 5 so far?

Thank you so much for the quick response and pictures. So far so good. I've only had it for a few days now and the weathers been sketchy so it's stayed inside. I plan on using the hitch for a bike rack I bought a few years ago from you guys. I can't remember what it was now. That's good to know about towing. I haven't even thought about it but that's something to keep in mind for sure.
