2026 Hyundai IONIQ 5 Limited AWD
Edmunds Rating
8.3/10
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a great choice for an electric crossover SUV. It comes with a lot of helpful tech features and has a good amount of range. It's also capable of charging very quickly, which is a big benefit on long drives. Cargo space is lackluster, but otherwise there's very little to fault with the Ioniq 5.
MSRP

2nd
2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range
Edmunds Rating
8.2/10
The Tesla Model Y has a comfy interior for passengers and lots of space for your stuff. It's decently fun to drive, too, with quick acceleration and over 300 miles of driving range. The Y's advanced driving features that can significantly reduce the tedium of driving are icing on the cake. We think the updated Y is one of the best electric SUVs you can buy overall.

2025 Kia EV6 GT-Line
Edmunds Rating
7.4/10
The Kia EV6 is worth a look if you're looking for an electric SUV that prioritizes driving enjoyment. It's got plenty of power, sharp steering and well-balanced handling. But there are better options out there if you're after a cushy ride or lots of cargo space.
MSRP
$42,900 - $63,800
Edmunds EV Range

4th
2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range AWD
Edmunds Rating
7.3/10
The Mustang Mach-E is Ford's first electric vehicle built from the ground up, and they knocked it out of the park. From an engaging driving experience to a comfortable interior brimming with technology, the Mustang Mach-E is simply the most well-rounded luxury EV on sale today.
MSRP
$37,795 - $53,395
Edmunds EV Range
304 mi
5th
2026 Toyota bZ
Edmunds Rating
7.1/10
The Toyota bZ isn't flashy, but a comfortable cabin and intuitive tech make it a great daily driver. All-wheel drive offers a performance bump, but front-wheel drive is the smart play for commuters, delivering an impressive 331 miles in our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test.
MSRP
$34,900 - $45,300
Edmunds EV Range
331 mi
6th
2026 Volkswagen ID.4
Edmunds Rating
7.0/10
The Volkswagen ID.4 is a relatively affordable EV and offers competitive range and cargo space. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite match rivals on performance, comfort or interior quality. It's not our top-ranked electric SUV but it's worth a look if you find the price is right.
MSRP
$45,095 - $57,655
Edmunds EV Range
299 mi
7th
2026 Chevrolet Equinox EV LT FWD
Edmunds Rating
7.0/10
The Chevrolet Equinox EV is the value king of the EV world. This is a well-rounded, spacious SUV with exceptional range at a relatively low price. It's not perfect, but overall, Chevy's entry-level EV is a great gateway into buying electric.
MSRP
$34,995 - $44,095
Edmunds EV Range
356 mi
8th
2026 Kia Niro EV
Edmunds Rating
6.9/10
The Niro EV isn't the best in any one particular area, but it does a lot of things very well. It's comfortable, packed with in-car tech, and has impressive real-world range. It's not the cheapest EV out there, but Kia's long list of standard features and excellent warranty help offset that.
MSRP
$39,700 - $44,700
Edmunds EV Range
280 mi
9th
2026 Subaru Uncharted GT
Edmunds Rating
6.7/10
This may be Subaru's least expensive electric vehicle, but the Uncharted wins points with quick acceleration, a comfortable ride, lots of advanced features, and sharp styling. But we think the Uncharted's short range and cramped rear seat will be deal-breakers for a lot of potential buyers.
MSRP
$34,995 - $43,795
Edmunds EV Range
278 mi
$385/mo lease found!
This exceptionally rare deal is $56 below typical
10th
2026 MINI Countryman SE All4
Edmunds Rating
5.9/10
The Mini Countryman is a solid pick for an electric small SUV. It maintains its fun-to-drive personality and style that the brand is known for. However, competitors provide more space and battery range for the same money.
MSRP
$45,200 - $48,600
Edmunds EV Range
218 mi
11th
2025 Nissan ARIYA
Edmunds Rating
5.5/10
The Nissan Ariya scores high on comfort but is otherwise disappointing, suffering from an underwhelming driving experience, a dated technology interface and a prohibitively high price tag. Most other electric SUV competitors are better choices overall.
MSRP
$39,770 - $54,370
Edmunds EV Range
265 mi
12th
2025 Subaru Solterra
Edmunds Rating
5.4/10
The Subaru Solterra is a straightforward electric SUV. It's comfortable and spacious, and there's a decent amount of available tech and driver aids. But it's not particularly fun to drive and its range is lackluster. Unless you absolutely have to have a Subaru, there are better options in other showrooms.
MSRP
$38,495 - $45,495
Edmunds EV Range
249 mi
13th
2025 Jeep Wagoneer S
Edmunds Rating
5.3/10
The Jeep Wagoneer S is the first all-electric Jeep. It's quick and has decent range, but the rest of the driving experience is lackluster. It also lacks the off-road capability we look for in a Jeep. We think other electric SUVs provide better value and are more appealing overall.
MSRP
$65,200 - $70,200

1st
2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9
Edmunds Rating
8.4/10
The Hyundai Ioniq 9 is an excellent pick for an electric three-row SUV. We like its refined interior, smooth ride quality and quick acceleration. You might not love its styling, but it's clear that the Ioniq 9 has no intentions of blending in.

2026 Kia EV9 GT-Line
Edmunds Rating
8.2/10
The Kia EV9 delivers a luxuriously quiet drive and high-quality features that elevate every commute or jaunt alike. It's an appealing choice for families ready to transition into the electric realm, without compromising on much of anything.
MSRP

2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz Pro S Plus 4Motion
Edmunds Rating
8.1/10
At first glance, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz might seem like a novelty, a cutesy and colorful throwback to the old VW Bus. But live with this van and you'll discover that it's genuinely useful for families. There's lots of space, plenty of tech, and some clever little interior touches. More range would be nice, but the ID. Buzz is nevertheless a compelling alternative to other three-row EVs.
MSRP
$59,995 - $69,995
Edmunds EV Range
262 mi
4th
2025 Honda Prologue Elite AWD
Edmunds Rating
6.3/10
The Honda Prologue is a sensible pick for an electric SUV. It has a long range and comes standard with many helpful technology features. But longtime Honda buyers will be dismayed by its bland performance and Chevrolet Blazer EV roots. Many of the Prologue's rivals are more compelling overall.
MSRP
$47,400 - $57,900
Edmunds EV Range
320 mi
5th
2026 Chevrolet Blazer EV RS
Edmunds Rating
6.1/10
The Chevrolet Blazer EV is another step forward for the brand into its electric future. But while we like the Blazer EV's well-rounded nature, it doesn't do enough to be a fully compelling pick for an electric SUV.
MSRP
$44,700 - $60,700

1st
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.
MSRP
$64,380 - $75,350

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.
MSRP
$52,525 - $71,875
Edmunds EV Range

3rd
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.
MSRP
$55,150 - $60,850
EPA Range
296 mi
4th
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
339 mi
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

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.

2026 Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ 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.

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.

Edmunds Rating

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.

2026 Cadillac VISTIQ
Edmunds Rating

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.

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.

2026 Ford Mach-E GT

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.

    Electric SUVs vs. Gas SUVs

    Gas-powered SUVs are comforting in their familiarity. With gas stations easily accessible across the country, they provide unparalleled freedom and, in some cases, a dramatic exhaust note to boot. Sadly, they also produce a lot of air pollution. Electric SUVs are an environmentally friendlier alternative and a great match for many drivers' day-to-day needs.

    Electric SUVs drive differently but not necessarily in a bad way. They provide instant torque, making them feel zippy around town. And with regenerative braking, drivers can practice "one-pedal driving," in which simply lifting off the throttle pedal results in significant deceleration. Electric-SUV ownership means adopting new habits as a driver and owner. Luckily, one of those habits is never having to visit a gas station. If you can install a charging station at home or have access to one where you work, there's a strong chance an electric SUV would make a good commuter for you.

    Electric SUVs vs. Hybrid SUVs

    Hybrids use an electric motor to assist a gasoline engine, improving fuel efficiency while maintaining the freedom of a gas-powered vehicle. They're more mechanically complex, but owning (and driving) a hybrid really isn't much different from owning a traditional gas-powered vehicle, which is definitely part of the appeal.

    Plug-in hybrid SUVs can be charged up like an electric SUV and driven for a short distance on full electric power before switching over to normal hybrid operation. Most plug-in hybrids won't go more than 30 miles or so on electricity, though. If you really want to rack up those all-electric miles, an electric SUV is an easy choice.

    Electric SUV Benefits

    If you can access a charging station at your home or office, you can likely rely on an electric SUV to replace your gas-powered vehicle for everything but road trips. All you have to do is plug it in at either location, and it'll charge up while you're doing other things. Electricity is also cheaper than gas, meaning you'll save money on energy over the life of the vehicle. For more details, check out our "The True Cost of Powering an Electric Car."

    Electric SUVs also have fewer moving parts that can break. Most maintenance will likely involve wear on items such as tires, brakes and windshield wipers. You'll never have to pay for a belt job with an electric SUV. And there are big tax incentives available, which can help cushion the upfront cost of an electric SUV. If you lease, you'll see those incentives taken out of your payments right away, saving you some paperwork.

    Choosing the Right Electric SUV for You

    For many households, an electric SUV makes a lot of sense as a second vehicle. Electric SUVs provide a clean commuting alternative, requiring less maintenance and zero trips to the gas station. The trick will be to figure out where and when you can charge and how many miles you need to be able to drive between charges.

    Make sure to check out our "9 Steps to Easier Plug-In Car Shopping" to help you take the first steps on your electric SUV journey. You may be surprised to find out that an electric SUV could fit your lifestyle.
