2026 Genesis Electrified GV70
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The electrified version of the Genesis GV70 compromises little and presents major gains in acceleration and smoothness compared to its gasoline-burning counterpart. Its lackluster range aside, the Electrified GV70 resets the bar on what a luxury SUV can be.

2026 Genesis GV60 Performance
Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
The GV60 is brimming with technology, power and comfort. It's the first of many electric vehicles from Genesis that's sure to put Tesla and company on notice. Sharp design, super-quick charging capability and an unbeatable warranty round out what is simply one of the best EVs on sale.

2026 Volvo EX40 Twin Motor
Edmunds Rating
7.3/10
The Volvo EX40 is a renamed version of last year's XC40 Recharge. But it's more than just a new badge. A larger battery pack provides improved range, and a quicker charging capability means you'll spend less time plugged in at a public fast charger. The EX40 is a nicely appointed EV, and its price undercuts several of its closest competitors. It's one of the better small EV SUVs you can buy today.

2026 Cadillac OPTIQ
Edmunds Rating
7.2/10
The Cadillac Optiq is the smallest and most affordable EV from GM's luxury brand. It's comfortable and easy to drive, offers a spacious cabin, and exceeded its range estimates in the Edmunds EV Range Test. Disappointing smartphone integration and slow charging speeds keep the Optiq from being a class leader.
MSRP
$50,900 - $67,300
Edmunds EV Range

5th
2025 Polestar 3 Launch Edition
Edmunds Rating
7.1/10
There's a lot to like about the Polestar 3. It has an attractive interior, distinctive styling, and a smooth ride quality. A sporty driving experience is another plus. For what you have to pay, the Polestar 3 comes up a little short on range and cargo space, but overall, we recommend it for luxury SUV shoppers wanting something different from the norm.
MSRP
$67,500 - $84,900
Edmunds EV Range
303 mi
6th
2026 Porsche Macan Electric
Edmunds Rating
6.8/10
The Porsche Macan Electric offers the performance and confidence you'd expect from a Porsche while boasting high levels of comfort and electrical efficiency. Like all Porsches, the Macan EV costs more than its competition. But once you spend a few hours behind the wheel, you'll realize that electric SUVs like this one are few and far between.
MSRP
$80,300 - $112,700
Edmunds EV Range
352 mi
7th
2026 Audi Q4 55 e-tron
Edmunds Rating
6.5/10
The Audi Q4 E-tron is an easy EV to drive and live with. It also has a great-looking interior fitted with plenty of Audi's latest technology features. However, comfort, range and charging are all lacking compared to what you get from other electric luxury SUVs.
MSRP
$50,600 - $60,500
Edmunds EV Range
261 mi
8th
2026 Polestar 4
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
The Polestar 4 is an electric SUV with coupe looks and swift performance. It's quick and easy to drive, but it can't match rivals in range, charging or tech. It's spacious, but the lack of a rear window makes it hard to see out. The Polestar's elevated price doesn't help its appeal either.
MSRP
$56,400 - $68,400
Edmunds EV Range
286 mi
9th
2025 Lexus RZ 450e
Edmunds Rating
6.0/10
The Lexus RZ 450e is a luxury product through and through. With an exceptionally comfortable cabin and sublime ride quality, it ticks some important boxes. However, with a worst-in-class range of roughly 200 miles per charge and a relatively high price tag to boot, the RZ may simply be a nonstarter for some customers.
MSRP
$42,800 - $57,430
Edmunds EV Range
204 mi
10th
2026 Volvo EX30
Edmunds Rating
5.1/10
The Volvo EX30 is a compact and relatively affordable all-electric SUV. We like its quick acceleration and stylish design. However, a cramped rear seat, small cargo area and lackluster tech hold it back from being a true favorite.
MSRP
$38,950 - $46,650

  3. #32026 Cadillac LYRIQ
1st
2026 BMW iX xDrive45
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
Look past the BMW iX's styling and you'll discover one of the best electric luxury SUVs money can buy. This midsize EV is fast and has plenty of range on a full charge. The iX is also comfortable, practical and stuffed with BMW's latest technology features.
MSRP
$75,150 - $111,500

2nd
2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE 320+ SUV
Edmunds Rating
7.6/10
The Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV impresses with its helpful technology features, solid build quality, elegant cabin and long range. It's also priced competitively. The 350+ version suffers from lackluster performance, but otherwise this is a smart pick for a luxury electric SUV.
MSRP
$64,950 - $97,400
Edmunds EV Range
349 mi
3rd
2026 Cadillac LYRIQ
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
The Cadillac Lyriq is everything you'd expect from a Cadillac: quiet, comfortable, easy to drive and luxurious. Throw in more than 300 miles of Edmunds Tested range and you get a very compelling EV. While not quite as polished as the BMW iX, the Lyriq does a lot right. It's easily worth considering if you want an American-made electric crossover with genuine luxury credentials.
MSRP

  5. #52026 Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance
1st
2026 Rivian R1S
Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
There are plenty of off-road-capable SUVs, three-row SUVs and even electric SUVs, but there's nothing that shines in all three areas like the Rivian R1S. It's quick on the street and capable on a trail.
MSRP
$76,990 - $125,990

2025 Lucid Gravity
Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The Lucid Gravity is an impressive new electric SUV. We like its quiet cabin, smooth ride and Edmunds-tested 400 miles of range. It's also impressively sporty and fun to drive. However, some build quality issues might have you questioning whether it's worth its premium price tag.

2026 Tesla Model X Long Range
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
A mixed bag of innovation and gimmickry, the Tesla Model X is an all-electric SUV that commands attention. Its range, punchy acceleration and quiet disposition are highlights, but its elaborate gullwing doors and questionable build quality give us some pause.
MSRP
$99,990 - $114,990
Edmunds EV Range
294 mi
4th
2027 Cadillac VISTIQ
Edmunds Rating
7.3/10
The Cadillac Vistiq impresses with prodigious power, standout styling, lots of standard features, and more than enough driving range. The firm ride quality is a drawback, but overall, we think the Vistiq is a smart pick for a three-row luxury EV.
MSRP
$77,500 - $96,600
Edmunds EV Range
334 mi
5th
2026 Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance
Edmunds Rating
6.9/10
The Volvo EX90 feels like a more modern version of recent Volvos. The design and interior comfort are great, and it's more fun to drive than you'd think just by looking at it. But our experiences with software bugs might give you pause before buying one.
MSRP
$76,695 - $89,845

1st
2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV 400
Edmunds Rating
8.0/10
The EQS SUV impressed us with its high levels of comfort, luxury and technology. On top of that, it has plenty of range. This big Mercedes is expensive, but overall we think it's justified considering all of the features and refinement you get.
MSRP
$89,950 - $112,450

2nd
2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQ
Edmunds Rating
8.0/10
The Cadillac Escalade IQ has the most range of any EV in the game, and it's packed with fun features inside and out. But the IQ's huge size makes for a compromised driving experience, not to mention the big price tag to go with it.
MSRP
$127,405 - $148,205
Edmunds EV Range
558 mi
3rd
2026 Mercedes-Benz Maybach EQS SUV
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The Maybach EQS SUV exists in a world by itself. If you want all the luxuries of an ultra-high-end SUV but demand an EV, this is your choice. It's not perfect, but the Maybach EQS SUV does all of the things you'd expect a Maybach to do while still offering a great EV experience. It's a solid first step for what is likely to be many electric products from the brand.
MSRP
$180,000
Edmunds EV Range

4th
2026 Cadillac ESCALADE IQL
Edmunds Rating
7.8/10
The Cadillac Escalade IQL has exceptional electric range — more than 500 miles in Edmunds' testing — and it's packed with fun features inside and out. But the IQL's huge size makes for a compromised driving experience, not to mention the big price tag to go with it.
MSRP
$130,405 - $151,205
Edmunds EV Range
532 mi
5th
2026 GMC HUMMER EV SUV
Edmunds Rating
6.4/10
While most SUVs rely on practicality to win you over, the GMC Hummer EV SUV opts for excess. It's incredibly quick, absurdly capable off-road, and larger-than-life with its XXL dimensions and giant price tag. We also found the Hummer EV SUV to be pretty livable and likable in day-to-day driving.
MSRP
$97,200 - $105,300
Edmunds EV Range
325 mi
6th
2026 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology
Edmunds Rating
5.4/10
Electric power suits this SUV to a T — or, rather, to a G. The Mercedes-Benz G 580 has the familiar G-Class attributes while also being nicer to drive on-road and more capable off-road. But just like the regular G-Class, it still suffers from some ergonomic issues and a lack of space.
MSRP

Best Performance electric SUVs

Want your performance wrapped in a more versatile body style? These speedy SUVs are inherently taller and heavier than their car counterparts, but it's hard to argue with the extra space.

2025 Hyundai IONIQ 5 N
Edmunds Rating
7.9/10
The words "fun" and "EV" are no longer mutually exclusive. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is just as impressive on a twisty back road as it is blistering quick to 60 mph. On top of all its mind-bending performance, the 5 N retains all the creature comforts of the standard Ioniq 5. If you want a modern, electric interpretation of a hot hatchback, the Ioniq 5 N is essentially unmatched.

2026 BMW iX M70
Edmunds Rating
7.7/10
The all-electric iX is something to behold, and the M70 performance version turns up the excitement by a few notches. This midsize performance EV SUV is incredibly fast and somehow remains comfortable and versatile. Some controls can be frustrating to use, but overall it's a brilliant EV SUV.
MSRP

2026 Ford Mach-E GT
Edmunds Rating
7.1/10
The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT offers a genuine step up in performance from the standard model while remaining comfortable and well appointed. As a bonus, the Mach-E GT delivers better efficiency and more range than other performance-oriented EVs.
MSRP
$53,395
Edmunds EV Range

4th
2026 Cadillac Lyriq-V
Edmunds Rating
6.8/10
The 2026 Lyriq-V is a comfortable, spacious and luxurious SUV with all the quality you'd expect from a near-six-figure Cadillac. However, while its V-Series designation implies a sporty persona, that wasn't our experience. It's rapid in a straight line, but it left us wanting more everywhere else.
