best-electric-suvs-2024-–-best-and-worst-reviewed-and-rated

Electric cars and SUVs are two types of car that are currently in huge demand, so electric SUVs are perhaps the most desirable models of all right now.

It's about more than just fashion, too – the best of the breed are as practical as they are classy, and as good to drive as they are cheap to run. But which models are we talking about, exactly?&nbsp;Here, you'll find our top 10 electric SUVs, and the ones we'd avoid.

Best electric SUVs 2024

Hatchback

Tesla is a US brand&nbsp;that revolutionised&nbsp;the car industry, putting <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/best/best-electric-cars-2022/n17000">electric cars</a> in the limelight&nbsp;for the first time – helped by the personality and profile of boss Elon Musk.

Today, Tesla has a broader&nbsp;line-up than ever, with the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-3/saloon/review/n19010">Tesla Model 3</a> saloon&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-y/hatchback/review/n23624">Tesla Model Y</a> SUV the company's cheapest models. For those with bigger budgets or a need for more space, there's the larger <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-s/hatchback/review/n150">Tesla Model S</a> saloon and <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-x/hatchback/review/n161">Tesla&nbsp;Model X</a> SUV.&nbsp;A&nbsp;new Roadster, complete with supercar-beating acceleration, is also in the works.

&nbsp;

TESLA

MODEL Y

The <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-y/hatchback/review/n23624">Tesla&nbsp;Model Y</a> isn't as good as the closely related&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/tesla/model-3/saloon/review/n19010">Tesla Model 3</a>&nbsp;saloon; its ride can be unsettled and it's quite noisy.&nbsp;

But there are still plenty of upsides to driving one, though – not least that every version comes with a long range. Indeed, even entry-level versions can take you up to 283&nbsp;miles according to official figures, while Long Range models can cover up to 331 miles. Of course, you’re unlikely to achieve those figures in real-world use.

Every Model Y feels fast, too, and driving one gives you access to the brilliant&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/news/tesla-superchargers-everything-you-need-to-know/n26239">Tesla Supercharger network</a>, which offers fast and convenient charging when you need to replenish your batteries.

"Its hatchback boot makes the Tesla Model Y a much more practical option for families than the Model 3" –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/claire-evans/n1100">Claire Evans, Consumer Editor</a>

10: Tesla Model Y

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Rapid acceleration</li>
	<li>Great range between charges</li>
	<li>Tesla’s charging infrastructure</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Unsettled ride</li>
	<li>Noisy for an EV</li>
	<li>A Model 3 is cheaper and better to drive</li>
</ul>

Hyundai has transformed itself from a maker of oddball hatchbacks that sold in small numbers in the UK, to a major rival to the likes of Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.

The Korean firm’s Ioniq Hybrid is particularly impressive, having beaten the trend-setting Toyota Prius when we tested the cars back to back.

Meanwhile, at the extremes of the Hyundai range you find the tiny i10 city car – a four-time What Car? award winner – and the stylish yet family-friendly Santa Fe SUV.

As a bonus, all of these cars come with the reassurance of a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, whereas most of Hyundai’s rivals offer only three years and 60,000 miles of cover.

HYUNDAI

IONIQ 5

Even though the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/hatchback/review/n22944">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a> can't quite beat its sibling cars from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/new-car-deals/make/genesis">Genesis</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/new-car-deals/make/kia">Kia</a>&nbsp;here, don’t discount it – it's&nbsp;a cracking electric SUV.

Combining standout looks with a good official range of up to 298 miles, the Ioniq 5 also has soft suspension that&nbsp;does a good job of smoothing out bumps around town, and its steering that’s accurate enough to let you place the car with confidence.

Those peaceful cruising manners mean long journeys won’t be a chore, and your family won’t grumble in the back, either; they’ll have lots of space to stretch out, even if they’re tall.

"Recent suspension tweaks have improved the Hyundai Ioniq 5's handling, but Premium models, with their 20in wheels, still bring a ride which feels a touch too busy." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/george-hill/n23609" target="_blank">George Hill, Staff Writer</a>

9: Hyundai Ioniq 5

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Very quiet on the move – as long as you avoid 20in alloys</li>
	<li>Super-fast charging speeds</li>
	<li>Enormously spacious interior</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Not as quiet as the Genesis GV60 at a cruise</li>
	<li>Not as sharp to drive as the EV6</li>
	<li>Interior quality could be better</li>
</ul>

Estate

Audi is a brand that sets the standard for interior quality, and this, combined with its vast and ever-growing model line-up, has helped it become one of the ‘big three’ German prestige car makers, along with BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

The A3 hatchback, A4 executive saloon and Q7 SUV are all common - yet upmarket - sights on UK roads.

At least some of Audi's success over the past 30 years can be attributed to the growth in sales of vehicles with four-wheel drive; the company arguably led the way in bringing 4x4 technology into the mainstream, with its Quattro coupé in the early 1980s.

Today, most Audis are available with at least the option of four-wheel drive, while the list of SUVs from the brand includes the Q2, Q3, Q5 and Q7.

AUDI

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/audi/q4/estate/review/n23194">Audi&nbsp;Q4 e-tron</a> is temptingly priced for a premium-badged electric SUV, plus it’s a very comfortable and classy choice.&nbsp;

Your family will like it, too, because there’s more head and legroom for taller passengers than you’ll find in some rivals, plus the boot is large enough to carry anything they might wish to bring with them. It managed to swallow seven carry-on suitcases in our tests.

However, if you’re not so worried about the emblem on the nose of your car, we’d urge you to look at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/skoda/enyaq/4x4/review/n22909">Skoda Enyaq iV</a>&nbsp;as well; it’s similar in a lot of respects yet should cost you less to buy.

"Choosing big wheels can often leave a car with an overly firm ride because they're shod with low-profile tyres. However, the Q4 e-tron is comfortable even on 20in alloys." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/lawrence-cheung/n23691" target="_blank">Lawrence Cheung, New Cars Editor</a>

8: Audi Q4 e-tron

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Comfortable ride at all speeds</li>
	<li>Classy and spacious interior</li>
	<li>Well priced</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>So-so performance</li>
	<li>Visibility could be better</li>
	<li>Cheapest versions have a short range</li>
</ul>

Munich-based BMW is most famous for its sports saloons, in particular the 3 Series and 5 Series. However, it actually builds almost every type of car imaginable: everything from two-seat convertibles to seven-seat MPVs.

The cheapest model in the BMW range is the 1 Series hatchback, which is a rival to the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Volkswagen Golf. Meanwhile, at the other extreme is the M8&nbsp;grand tourer, which costs more than £120,000.

BMW was also quick to capitalise on the rise of the SUV and now has ten in its range: the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7 and XM, plus the electric iX3 and iX.

All of this makes it one of the big three German prestige brands, along with Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

The <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/bmw/ix/4x4/review/n23569">BMW iX</a> is beautifully appointed inside, mixing the visual appeal of the rival&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/mercedes-benz/eqc/4x4/review/n19377">Mercedes EQC</a>&nbsp;with the build quality of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/audi/q8/4x4/review/n18397">Audi Q8 e-tron</a>. The result is an interior which you won’t mind spending lots of time in.

In addition, the iX has more space for your luggage than some other electric SUVs, plus it’s extremely quiet on the move. In our tests, we managed to fit in eight carry-on suitcases – more than enough for your average family holiday.

Go for the xDrive50 version and you’ll have 516bhp to play with, plus an official range of up to 284&nbsp;miles between charges – more than most rivals can manage. It's also fast, managing the 0-60mph sprint in just 4.4sec. You could spend more on the range-topping M60 version, with its 610bhp, but in real-world conditions it doesn't feel that much faster.

"It's relaxing to drive, but the iX's light steering doesn't inspire a great deal of confidence when you're pressing on, plus there's more body lean than you'd find in the Audi Q8 e-tron." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/stuart-milne/n25965">Stuart Milne, Digital Editor</a>

7: BMW iX

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>One of the quietest cars we’ve ever tested</li>
	<li>Spacious and luxurious interior</li>
	<li>Great infotainment system</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Air suspension and rear-wheel steering available only on pricier xDrive50</li>
	<li>xDrive40 has a disappointing real-world range</li>
	<li>Teslas have a better charging infrastructure</li>
</ul>

Volvo is now a true rival to the likes of Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz, offering an alternative take on premium executive cars to a rapidly growing fanbase.

After a string of strong launches – notably with the Mk2 XC90 and XC60 SUVs – it struck gold in early 2018 when it launched its smallest SUV, the XC40. When our testers compared the car with its rivals, they concluded that it was the best launch of the previous 12 months, earning it our coveted overall Car of the Year Award.

The good news is that, like many car makers, Volvo now uses the same structure underneath most of its cars – so if they get it right on one model, it usually bodes well for the rest. That’s the case here, with Volvo’s subsequent saloon and estate launches complementing the SUVs and making for a generally extremely appealing line-up.

VOLVO

EX30

Volvo's smallest electric SUV counts the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/hyundai/kona/hatchback/review/n18164">Hyundai Kona Electric</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/kia/niro/estate/review/n24582">Kia Niro EV</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/smart/hashtag-1/hatchback/review/n25016">Smart #1</a>&nbsp;among its key rivals, and impresses by bringing comfort and luxury for a relatively modest price.

Indeed, despite under-cutting some of those rivals on price, the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/volvo/ex30/estate/review/n26262">Volvo EX30</a> feels properly upmarket inside, with materials which feel classy to touch, and impressive to look at. Standard kit is plentiful, too, including adaptive cruise control, a powered tailgate, heated front seats and dual-zone climate control.

We'd stick with cheaper Single Motor Extended Range versions of the EX30, which should provide enough performance for most families, yet will also quell your range anxiety. Indeed, with an official range of up to 295 miles from its 64kWh battery, it'll get you further between charges than the #1 or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/jeep/avenger/hatchback/review/n25706">Jeep Avenger</a>. And when it does come to charging up, a 10-80% top-up can take as little as 26 minutes if you use the fastest chargers.

"Usefully for a family SUV, the EX30's rear seats lie flush with the boot floor when you fold them down, allowing you to turn the car into a van at a moment's notice." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/darren-moss/n1005" target="_blank">Darren Moss, Deputy Digital Editor</a>

6: Volvo EX30

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Great to drive</li>
	<li>Smart interior – particularly in Ultra spec</li>
	<li>Starting price undercuts many rivals</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Rear space isn't great</li>
	<li>Efficiency could be better</li>
	<li>Fiddly touch-sensitive controls on steering wheel</li>
</ul>

One of the greatest success stories in the car world of recent decades is Skoda’s rise to become a hugely credible mainstream maker of good-value, good-sense cars.

Central to that success has been its place within the VW Group, alongside the Volkswagen brand itself, plus the likes of Seat and Audi. That has given it access to exactly the same underpinnings for its cars as the other brands, and it has complemented this by adding its own developments, from the way the cars drive and ride through to the features they have and the pricing.

The result is a range that extends from a city car to a large executive saloon, with family and large seven-seat SUVs too. There’s a wide variety of petrol and diesel engines, all of which are competitive for the class.

As a result, Skoda has a range of cars that is almost entirely class-leading or among the class leaders, and it has enjoyed long-time success at the What Car? Awards as a result.

SKODA

ENYAQ

Skoda's first bespoke electric car, the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/skoda/enyaq/4x4/review/n22909">Skoda Enyaq</a>,&nbsp;is practical and good to drive, with a comfortable ride and relaxed handling.

You get a lot of kit for your money, too. Indeed, the cheapest models come with dual-zone climate control, 19in alloy wheels and cruise control.&nbsp;

These ‘60’ versions are well priced, and you’ll pay less for one of them than you would for smaller alternatives such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/kia/niro/estate/review/n24582">Kia Niro EV</a>. However, it's the '85' version which we recommend for its added performance and extra range – up to 348 miles on a charge.

Don’t think a bargain price means bargain materials inside, though. On the contrary, for the money, the Enyaq’s interior feels very good, and everything feels built to last the rough and tumble of family life.

"Recently refreshed versions of the Skoda Enyaq iV are as roomy as ever inside, but now feature improved infotainment as well." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/neil-winn/n1101">Neil Winn, Deputy Reviews Editor</a>

5: Skoda Enyaq

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Extremely practical</li>
	<li>85 version has an impressive range</li>
	<li>Comfortable and easy to drive</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>So-so performance from entry-level 60 version</li>
	<li>You'll want to add options, such as a heat pump</li>
	<li>Faster charging capability limited to 4x4 Enyaqs</li>
</ul>

Aside from some styling details and the fact the combustion engine has been replaced with an electric motor, you’d be hard pushed to tell the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/bmw/ix3/4x4/review/n22236">BMW iX3</a> apart from its combustion-engined sibling, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/bmw/x3/4x4/review/n42">BMW X3</a>.

That’s no bad thing, because it means you’re getting a classy and practical&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/best/suvs/n26176">SUV</a>&nbsp;with, among other things, a decent boot and one of the best infotainment systems you’ll find in any new car.

Combine those attributes with a comfortable ride, assured handling and a long range of up to 285 miles between charges, and the iX3 is easy to recommend. And despite having a premium badge on its bonnet, you’ll pay less for the iX3 than you would for some rivals – just be aware that some are faster and can charge at faster speeds.

"While it isn't as vast inside as the larger&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/bmw/ix/4x4/review/n23569">BMW iX</a>, you'll have to be very tall to find yourself struggling for head or leg room inside the iX3" –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/lawrence-cheung/n23691" target="_blank">Lawrence Cheung, New Cars Editor</a>

4: BMW iX3

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Longer range than most direct rivals</li>
	<li>Great infotainment system</li>
	<li>Comparatively well priced</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Not as fast as rivals</li>
	<li>Audi E-tron is quieter</li>
	<li>Tesla Model 3 has a longer range and faster charging</li>
</ul>

GENESIS

GV60

With the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/genesis/gv60/estate/review/n24373">Genesis GV60</a>, upmarket Korean brand Genesis took the underpinnings of the excellent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/kia/ev6/estate/review/n23462">Kia EV6</a>&nbsp;and added an extra layer of polish to create something truly special.&nbsp;

The GV60 not only offers a generous range of up to 321 miles and ultra-fast charging (meaning a 10-80% top up could take as little as 20 minutes), but is also extremely refined and has a wonderful interior.&nbsp;

You’ll pay more for the GV60 than you would for the EV6, but you get lots of goodies for your money;&nbsp;for example,&nbsp;all GV60s come with wireless phone charging, dual-zone climate control and adaptive cruise control.

"The GV60 handles more crisply than you might expect for a heavy electric SUV, and leans less through corners than rivals from Audi and Hyundai." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/steve-huntingford/n1018">Steve Huntingford, Editor</a>

3: Genesis GV60

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Wonderful interior</li>
	<li>Extremely quiet on the move</li>
	<li>Great infotainment system</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Boot isn't huge</li>
	<li>Rear space is average</li>
	<li>Optional cameras not as good as traditional door mirrors</li>
</ul>

Owned by Mercedes-Benz and with a reputation for making small, clever cars, Smart offers a striking, upmarket alternative to more conventional rivals.

It currently has a two-car line-up, the smaller of the two being the distinctive Fortwo, which, as its name suggests, is an ultra-short two-seater that uses an unusual rear-engined configuration to deliver the sort of turning circle that even London taxis can only dream of. It's a doddle to park in small spaces, too.

Smart's 'family car' is the Forfour, which is little more than a stretched version of the Fortwo, with a second row of seats and a larger boot. It's more of a natural rival for cars like the Hyundai i10 or Kia Picanto.

On paper, both cars come at a considerable price premium when compared with rivals, something it says is justified by its badge appeal and the technology in the cars.&nbsp;However, sales have been slow and there are often keen Target Price deals to be found.

SMART

HASHTAG 1

Not so long ago, Smart only made tiny city cars which had poor ranges. Now the brand makes one of the most desirable small electric SUVs, because there's a lot to like about the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/smart/hashtag-1/hatchback/review/n25016">Smart #1</a>.

For starters, it's fast – in fact, in our tests, the #1 beat its official 0-60mph sprint time, reaching motorway speeds in just 5.8sec. That's faster than the similarly priced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/byd/atto-3/hatchback/review/n25563">BYD Atto 3</a>&nbsp;can manage, or the pricier&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/kia/niro/estate/review/n24582">Kia Niro EV</a>.

Don't think the #1 is all go and no show, though, because its interior looks and feels premium, and a couple of six-footers won't feel cramped on its rear seats. The boot is on the small side, however – we managed to fit just three carry-on suitcases inside.

"The Smart #1 is a smooth motorway cruiser, with a ride which settles down more at speed than in the rival&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/jeep/avenger/hatchback/review/n25706">Jeep Avenger</a>" –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/darren-moss/n1005" target="_blank">Darren Moss, Deputy Digital Editor</a>

2: Smart #1

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Great to drive</li>
	<li>Plush, high-quality interior</li>
	<li>Great safety rating</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Small boot</li>
	<li>Slightly choppy low-speed ride</li>
	<li>Efficiency could be better</li>
</ul>

Buyers seeking value for money should have Kia towards the top of their shopping list.

Although once a niche brand in the UK, today Kia outsells many more established brands, helped by its market-leading seven-year warranty and a strong reputation for reliability; in fact, Kia regularly finishes towards the top of our reliability surveys.

There are plenty of models to choose from, too, ranging from the small Picanto city car to the Ceed family hatchback and the Sorento large SUV. The Picanto was the first Kia to win its class at the What Car? Car of the Year awards.

It should come as no surprise to see the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/kia/ev6/estate/review/n23462">Kia EV6</a> topping this class – it is, after all, a former What Car? Car of the Year, and two years since its introduction remains the best choice if you’re looking for an electric&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/best/family-suvs/n17116">family SUV</a>.

Key to its appeal is how easily the EV6 can slot into family life. In the RWD form we recommend, it’s officially capable of travelling up to 328 miles on a full charge –&nbsp;which is more than rivals such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/volkswagen/id4/estate/review/n22789#on-the-road">Volkswagen ID 4</a>&nbsp;can manage, so family days out shouldn’t include a charging stop. However, if they do, then the EV6’s peak charging rate of 238kW means topping up the battery can be completed in the time it takes to grab lunch.

Then there’s the comfort the EV6 offers, because not only does it look suitably upmarket inside, even beating its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/hatchback/review/n22944">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a>&nbsp;sister car for quality, but there’s enough space for everyone to stretch out. Plus we managed to fit seven carry-on suitcases into the EV6’s boot – enough for the holiday luggage of most families.&nbsp;

"The EV6's ride is firm, which means you'll feel urban bumps more acutely than you would in the rival&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/nissan/ariya/hatchback/review/n24303">Nissan Ariya</a>, but it's also more pleasurable to drive, with tighter body control and more responsive brakes." –&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whatcar.com/authors/will-nightingale/n1020" target="_blank">Will Nightingale, Reviews Editor</a>

1: Kia EV6

<h3>Strengths</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Long range and fast charging</li>
	<li>Loads of rear legroom</li>
	<li>Seven-year Kia warranty</li>
</ul>

<h3>Weaknesses</h3>

<ul>
	<li>Shallow boot</li>
	<li>Not exactly cheap</li>
	<li>Slightly firm ride</li>
</ul>

Ford builds some of the most popular cars in the UK, including the Fiesta and Focus hatchbacks.

This success is partly down to longevity and the fact that there’s a Ford dealer around every corner. However, it’s also because Fords tend to offer good value and be among the best cars in their respective classes to drive.

The company’s huge range also helps; it offers everything from the small – but surprisingly practical – Ka+ to the large and lavishly equipped Edge SUV.

Meanwhile, other highlights of the range include the S-Max and Galaxy people carriers, the Mondeo executive car and the Ranger pick-up.

FORD

MUSTANG MACH-E

The <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/ford/mustang-mach-e/estate/review/n22387">Ford Mustang&nbsp;Mach-E</a> is a well equipped and relatively spacious large electric SUV, but its abrupt ride, so-so build quality and relatively slow maximum charging rate make it impossible to recommend.

And the electric SUVs to avoid: Ford Mustang Mach-E

In the same way that Infiniti acts as Nissan’s premium arm, Lexus has a similar tie-in with Toyota. And since most of Toyota’s models are offered as hybrids, it’s no surprise to see the same from Lexus, although there are some traditional petrol engines, too.

The brand focuses heavily on SUVs – namely the NX and RX – but also has the CT hatchback, ES executive saloon and LS luxury car among its portfolio. More small and large SUVs are expected in the future.

Like Toyota, Lexus has built a very strong reputation for reliability and regularly finishes very close to the top of our annual Reliability Survey.

LEXUS

UX300e

The <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/lexus/ux/hatchback/review/n22099">Lexus UX 300e</a> is comfortable and has a strong record for reliability, but a short range, slow charging and frustrating infotainment stop it from being anything other than an also-ran in this class.

Best electric SUVs 2024 – best and worst reviewed and rated

This class is all about SUVs that run purely on electricity. No petrol, no diesel and not even any hybrid technology.

Relatively low-cost options include the MG ZS EV, but you can easily spend three times as much on more luxurious alternatives, such as the BMW iX.&nbsp;
