Best Electric SUVs of 2023 and 2024

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.

The Kona Electric is a favorite among the more accessible EVs. It traveled an impressive 315 miles in Edmunds real-world range test. It also boasts an attractive interior, a long list of tech and safety features and surprisingly quick acceleration.

The Chevrolet Bolt EUV is the iPhone MAX version of the Bolt. In this slightly larger package you get slightly more space, comfort and amenities. The EUV trades a marginal amount of speed and nimbleness for its gains, and it also costs a bit more, but we think its worth it.

The ID.4 was one of the first all-electric compact SUVs to hit the market, offering loads of standard features and a genuinely spacious cabin. It pushes the envelope with some neat technology and traveled 287 miles on a single charge in Edmunds' real-world range test. There's a lot to get excited about here.

The Mazda MX-30 sports a sleek, eco-conscious interior, it's packed with a lot of modern technology, and it's a lot more engaging to drive than many of its contemporaries. So why is it so far down our rankings? Bottom line: It's small, slow, and has only 114 miles of range.

The all-new Toyota bZ4X falls short of what we expect in a modern EV. It's comfortable, has a decent array of standard features, and packs in loads of in-car tech. But it's not nearly as good to drive, doesn't feel as nice, or travel as far on a single charge as other EVs at this price.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 springs out of the gate with retro-themed styling and the latest in electric vehicle design. It's also comfortable, practical and generously equipped. While it can't quite match the range of the equivalent Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E models, there's still plenty to love about this all-new all-electric SUV.

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.

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.

The ID.4 is one of the first all-electric compact SUVs to hit the market, offering loads of standard features and a genuinely spacious cabin. It pushes the envelope with some neat technology and traveled 287 miles on a single charge in Edmunds' real-world range test. There's a lot to get excited about here.

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.

The all-electric iX is spacious, comfortable, surprisingly efficient and ridiculously agile for its size. If you can get past its slightly polarizing design, you may just fall in love with this electric BMW.

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.

The Model Y Long Range might not have the crazy acceleration of the Performance model, but it's the version we prefer. It's still pleasingly quick but is smoother riding, and as its name states, has a longer range. This is one stylish and roomy electric SUV with strong appeal.

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.

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.

The XC40 Recharge is small but packs a lot between its fenders, including 400 horsepower and an operating system powered by Google. However, it's a bit pricey and a little short on range compared to the rest of the field.

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.

The I-Pace electric SUV delivers pleasing performance and comfort. It's one of the older luxury EVs around but it generally holds its own against the BMW iX and Model Y.

The Volvo C40 is a compact, comfortable, and stylish EV that delivers satisfying performance. But its shockingly poor rearward visibility and shorter electric driving range compared to some of its competitors will make it a tough sell for some buyers.

The Q4 e-tron sports the modern vibe we've come to expect from Audi, but it doesn't really stand out from its EV competition. It's not the quickest, most comfortable or most efficient choice in the class, but it's also vice-free, making it an easy EV to drive and live with.

Among the small but growing class of electric vehicles, the Audi e-tron has a lot going for it. This is a legitimately luxurious and spacious five-passenger SUV just happens to be powered by electricity.

A day late and a dollar short" best describes the Mercedes-Benz EQB's place in the luxury electric SUV segment. Range and efficiency are mediocre, as is value. The EQB offers a relatively spacious and quiet interior, but overall we'd recommend nearly any other electric SUV over this one.

The all-electric iX is something to behold, and the M60 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.

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.

Give it the beans and the EV6 GT can easily out-accelerate most other cars on the road. It's a bargain on top of that, offering one of the best horsepower-per-dollar ratios of any vehicle. Lackluster range is a significant drawback, but the GT should otherwise be an appealing pick for an EV that provides both performance and practicality.

Mustang Mach-E GT Performance is the direct rival to the Tesla Model Y Performance. Acceleration and handling have improved over the standard Mach-E, but sheer, straight-line speed falls short of expectations. It's still a good bit of fun, though, and the combination of excellent in-car tech, its wide array of driver aids, and generally charming personality make it well worth a look.

The Model Y is a stylish and roomy electric SUV with strong appeal. In Performance trim, it's also extremely quick and dynamic but the optional sport suspension and large wheels make for a relatively uncomfortable ride. The Y also lags the rest of the industry when it comes to smartphone integration.
