The 10 best electric SUVs on sale in 2025

Plus, big batteries and rapid charging means EV SUVs can often travel several hundred miles before needing a recharge. Meanwhile, beefy electric motors give them more performance than you might expect.

Here are the 10 best electric SUVs on sale. Most of these models are fairly new, but some have already started showing up as nearly new and used cars at Motorpoint stores.

Kia EV3

• Range – up to 375 miles

The most recent addition to Kia's electric lineup is the EV3, and it might be the strongest yet. Long-range models slide comfortably under the £40,000 barrier when new, and we anticipate even more competitive numbers on the used market. It's the EV3's all-round ability that impresses, with an efficient-yet-nippy electric drivetrain, a massive cabin despite its sensible dimensions, and a clean, clear dashboard design that's easy to get your head around. The benchmark 10-80% charge takes just half an hour from a sufficiently powerful charger, and you can even use the car's high-voltage battery to power external devices through a regular three-pin socket.

Renault Scenic E-Tech

• Range – up to 379 miles

The Scenic is the second SUV in Renault's pure-electric E-Tech range after the compact Megane. Inside, the Scenic is noticeably more spacious, with room for the family to lounge out while they enjoy the elegant design and plush materials. Entry-level models sneak under the £40,000 mark or you can spend a few thousand more to get the long-range battery pack for the full 379-mile range. It's refreshingly compliant over bumps too, with a softer setup than rivals like the Tesla Model Y so you can readily cover long distances in the Scenic without feeling fatigued.

MGS5 EV

• Range – up to 298 miles

The MGS5 EV is the brand's replacement for the old MG ZS EV and the difference between the two cars is night-and-day. Everything from the material quality, to the on-board tech, to the driving experience has been thoroughly overhauled in the new car, and now stands toe-to-toe with the very best in class – the Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq, which feature elsewhere on this list. However, while those rivals have done well to fall below the £40,000 barrier, the cheapest MGS5 EV actually costs less than £30,000, easily undercutting those cars, even if you add £2,500 for the long-range battery.

BMW iX1

• Range – up to 293 miles

The BMW iX1 is the company's first small electric SUV, bearing the 'i' branding that become a hallmark of BMW's battery-powered cars. Despite the switch away from petrol and diesel power, the iX1 still has most of the qualities you'd expect from a car with the blue-and-white roundel, including sporty handling that doesn't come at the expense of a composed ride. The cabin is impressively practical despite the iX1 being BMW's smallest and most affordable electric SUV, and will be more than a match for family life.

Volvo EX30

• Range – up to 296 miles

With brand-new prices comfortably below £40,000, the Volvo EX30 is remarkably affordable for an electric SUV from a premium manufacturer. The Swedish brand has simplified the cabin to bring costs down, but it's done so without sacrificing the car's effortlessly stylish image. There are smart recycled fabrics and comfortable seats, while most controls have been condensed down so they're operated from the large, portrait-style touchscreen. Affordable models are still hot-hatch quick, while the slightly pricier Twin Motor model will give sports cars a run for their money from 0-62mph.

Hyundai Ioniq 5

• Range – up to 300 miles

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 proves looks can be deceptive – you might think it's a hatchback from a certain distance but, as you get closer, you notice it has the brawny dimensions of a family SUV. Space inside is fantastic with the Ioniq 5 making full use of its EV 'skateboard' platform – where the batteries are stashed in the floor – stretching the cabin space forward into the area no longer occupied by an engine. It appeals to the heart as well as the head, too, with an elegant minimalist design and more than a dash of '80s retro charm. Ultra-fast charging also makes long journeys in an electric car easier than ever.

Kia EV9

• Range – up to 349 miles

Kia earns another spot on this list with the excellent EV9. Measuring five metres from bumper to bumper, it's clearly a very big car. With that kind of footprint, you'd expect lots of cabin space but the EV9 actually manages to one-up your expectations, with a van-like interior that has absolutely masses of practicality. You can fit six-foot-tall adults in all three rows and, even then, you're left with a wide 333-litre boot behind them that's large enough for luggage or a big shopping trip. You can only get the large 99.8kWh battery pack in Europe, with real-world range above 300 miles.

Nissan Ariya

• Range – up to 329 miles

With the Leaf making headway as one of the first popular EVs, battery-powered Nissan models had taken a back seat – until the arrival of the Ariya. This bold-looking SUV immediately impresses with its build quality and the materials used. Eye-catching features like the touch-sensitive buttons embedded in the natural wooden dashboard help lift the Ariya's cabin a cut above more plasticky rivals. And, thanks to its clever EV platform, the Ariya has an enormous amount of passenger space between its two axles.

Skoda Elroq

• Range – up to 360 miles

We could've easily given this place to the larger Enyaq, but the smaller Skoda Elroq arguably represents better value for money. That's because you can get an upgraded trim and the long-range battery for less than £40,000, while that budget will only score you an entry-level Enyaq. Behind the wheel, both cars are quite similar and that's a good thing. They're easygoing and swift on the road, and the dashboard design both makes more sense than the Volkswagen ID.4 they're based on and feels a little less stripped back. Prices are a little above the Kia EV3 and a decent jump over the MGS5 EV, but the Elroq's Czech charm might be enough to win you over.

Tesla Model Y

• Range – up to 331 miles

Last but by no means least is the Tesla Model Y. This family SUV borrows battery and motor technology – along with most of the interior – directly from the Model 3 saloon. That means you get the same gobsmacking acceleration – especially on Long Range and Performance cars with dual motors – and super-long driving range, aided by Tesla's handy charging network. In addition, the Model Y gains some crucial cabin height over the lower Model 3, making it easier to live with if you're taller, and it has a more useful hatchback-style boot opening. An updated 'Juniper' Tesla Model Y has recently been shown with enhancements to ride quality and refinement.
