Best All Electric SUVs | 2025 EV Crossovers Rated

There are more electric SUVs for sale in the USA today than ever before. Though not necessarily ideal for off-roading, they make for exceptional urban cruising as quick, silent, and smooth operators. Some of the best electric SUVs of 2025 boast truly impressive performance capabilities, both in acceleration and in how far they can travel on a full charge. These are the best of them.

Vehicles are assigned a BuzzScore in relation to their direct segment competitors, and as such, vehicles in this list, while similarly scored, do not necessarily compete directly against one another. Find out more about how the BuzzScore ratings work here. These lists are continuously updated with the latest BuzzScores and vehicles as they become available.

Rivian R1S

The best electric SUV by a wide margin is the Rivian R1S with a BuzzScore of 9.0 out of 10. The brand’s pickup, the R1T, is popular and capable on and off the pavement, so imagine that speed and flexibility in an SUV. There are few affordable options among electric SUVs, so we can get right into it by saying this one starts at $75,900 for the Dual Standard trim, and goes up to well over six figures at the top of the range. Speaking of range, though, the R1S Dual has the best driving range in the lineup at an estimated 410 miles with the Max battery. That’s not bad, especially when you consider the R1S has between 533 and 1,025 horsepower, depending on the trim. Its expansive interior makes it a great family SUV, too, with 104.7 cubic feet of cargo behind the front row.

“…the R1S might be the most compelling electric SUV on sale today. In fact, we think it makes a solid case for being one of the most exciting SUVs available, regardless of powertrain. We firmly believe that there is no family whose lifestyle wouldn’t fit with the R1S.”

BMW iX

One of the best electric SUVs is the BMW iX, which directly competes with the Audi SQ8 e-tron and the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV. It’s a quietly powerful and sporty SUV that doesn’t compromise on luxury with its host of comfort features. The iX is available as either the xDrive50, which starts at $87,250, or the sportier M60 model that starts at $111,500. Being an AWD EV, the iX has two electric motors that make a combined 516 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque in the base model, and the M60 makes 610 hp and 749 lb-ft. Depending on which trim you choose, it has a maximum range of 302 miles.

Tesla Model X

The Model X is the best Tesla model to buy used, but the 2025 model is another contender on our list of electric SUV models. There are many electric SUVs on this list with simple styling made in a luxurious way, but this Tesla’s styling, in our opinion, is getting stale and fairly boring. Its minimalism doesn’t hide the misaligned body panels very well. That’s unfortunate, since the Model X currently starts at $84,990 for the base model, and the Plaid carries a hefty $99,990 price tag before options and other fees. The base model has 670 horsepower, and an estimated range of 329 miles. On the inside, there’s up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row.

4

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

Many all-electric SUVs have more than enough power, but the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N takes advantage of it with sporty styling and engaging handling. Hyundai has proven itself as more than competent in building electric vehicles, and the N performance versions are some of the most fun cars you can buy without spending near six figures. This Ioniq 5 N starts at $66,200 before destination and other fees. For that price, you can get your hands on an all-wheel-drive performance car with 641 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque. Its range leaves room for improvement with an estimated 221 miles.

“…The Ioniq 5 N is fast as hell. And, in Sport mode, it’s also a handful, due to the extra-sharp throttle response. In Normal mode, it doesn’t feel a lot different from the regular model.”

Audi Q4 e-tron

The only electric Audi SUV on our list is the Q4 e-tron. Being an Audi, you can expect plenty of comfort features, high-end materials, and a price to match. It’s not the largest electric Audi, though, so the base price starts at $49,800. There are a couple of versions of the Q4 e-tron; when equipped with a single motor, the Q4 e-tron makes 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque, but giving it AWD brings those numbers up to 335 hp and 500 lb-ft. Despite some fairly impressive numbers, it’s still heavy and takes 5.4 seconds to go from 0-60 mph. The EPA estimates a max of 288 miles of range.

6

GMC Hummer EV SUV

An all-electric SUV that feels larger than life is the GMC Hummer EV SUV. When the truck version was introduced, the car community went crazy. A gigantic, extraordinarily heavy electric vehicle with an inflated price tag to match was the center of attention for months. The SUV version is all that, just with an enclosed rear end. It starts at $96,550 before options and destination. At the base level, it gets two motors for a combined 570 horsepower. The EPA estimates the base trim to reach 315 miles of range and the higher trim can make it 312 miles. There are some nice features, and a gimmick that most people will never need in their lifetimes: the crabwalk function that drives diagonally.

7

Volvo EX90

One premium option for an electric SUV is the Volvo EX90. Its elegant minimalism inside and out brings the EX90 to the same level as the brand’s other flagship luxury cars. This is a brand-new car from Volvo, so its styling and technology are the latest and greatest. As one would expect from an electric luxury SUV, it’s not cheap – the EX90 starts at $81,290. However, some people might find that worth the cost for 402 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque in the base model, in addition to an estimated range of 310 miles. On the inside, you can fit up to 67.6 cu-ft of cargo behind the front row, not including the extra 1.6 cu-ft in the frunk.

“Every EV is quiet because there’s no engine, but the EX90 takes the idea to a new level. Road and wind noise is almost nonexistent, making for one of the quietest and most relaxing rides we’ve experienced in an electric vehicle. It matches perfectly with the serene interior design of the EX90. This car is an escape from the world outside, providing a refuge where everyone can relax.”

Toyota bZ4X

The last model year for the Toyota bZ4X might not be the most appealing car to look at, but we’re in luck since the Toyota bZ was revealed and feels like an entirely new electric SUV. However, the 2025 bZ4X is still here for now, and it’s worth considering for its relatively low price. For the 2025 model year, Toyota significantly dropped the starting price to $37,070 – $6,000 less than for the equivalent 2024 model. Its electric motors only make a combined 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. The XLE’s estimated range is comparable to others around its price point since it reaches 252 miles with an estimated combined MPGe of 119.

“As we mentioned earlier, this is not a performance vehicle. If that’s what you’re looking for, then you’re going to be disappointed. But we tend to think most people shopping for a Toyota EV are not performance enthusiasts and that’s why this is still a good car. We spent our driving time in the Limited AWD which is the top trim in the lineup. It had plenty of power to easily get up to highway speeds with that instant torque that’s a hallmark of electric vehicles. It accelerated smoothly and strongly and was nimble enough to manage driving through heavy rush hour traffic.”

Chevrolet Blazer EV

One of the more basic, but not the cheapest, models in the top ten is the Chevrolet Blazer EV. A recent update gave it better styling and more comfort features inside to help it compete with the Ford Mustang Mach E and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. That’s tough competition, so Chevy needed to price it appropriately. Fortunately, it’s not too bad at $44,600 before destination. There are three trims to choose from, with options including a single motor or dual motors. Depending on which one you choose, you can have between 288 and 557 horsepower. The RS trim has the best estimated range at 334 miles in FWD mode.

10

Genesis Electrified GV70

The Genesis Electrified GV70 is another relatively luxurious option with plenty of creature comforts and a starting price of $66,950. It’s not cheap, but it has some nice power and features that make it worthwhile. Starting with the powertrain, the Electrified GV70 has a dual-motor setup that makes 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates this GV70 will reach about 236 miles of range and hit 98 MPGe in the city. Some notable features include a 12-inch heads-up display and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, along with all the luxury trimmings found on other Genesis models.

Characteristics Of The Best Electric SUVs In 2025

You have to tick quite a few boxes to make a good sports utility vehicle, and adding an electric powertrain only complicates matters further. That said, there are a few things that many of the best electric SUV models have in common with one another, such as:

• Practicality: This is one of the most defining qualities of the segment. The reason that high-riding SUVs sell so well in comparison to sedans, for example, is because they supply so much extra room for passengers and cargo. In the past, plug-in hybrids and, by extension, EVs had to make some sacrifices in this area to accommodate the large battery packs under the rear seats. Automakers have since found new ways to incorporate the technology without negatively impacting these areas.
• Towing capacity: While many automakers are loathe to give this figure when discussing their electric SUVs, it is nevertheless an important topic. Since these vehicles are already quite heavy, they take a hit when it comes to fuel economy, and adding the extra weight of a trailer or caravan can make their maximum range dwindle quickly. That is not to say that they can’t handle decently sized loads, but they are not currently well-equipped to do so over longer distances.
• Range: A sad fact of the matter is that all electric SUVs are hampered by the size and capacity of their batteries, as well as their own weight. They will never be able to travel as far on a full charge as their smaller sedan or hatchback counterparts. However, this is something every manufacturer is working hard to improve upon. Also, most EV SUVs come standard with, or offer, AWD, so they can go off road when absolutely necessary. Most drivers won’t have the confidence to take them too far off the beaten path, though, lest they run out of charge far from the nearest station.

What Electric SUV Should I Buy?

There are plenty of options to choose from, and more are being added every year, but everyone’s needs are different, so picking a single model that will appeal to everyone is impossible. However, whether you are looking at a small crossover or full-size SUV, or a budget-friendly family hauler as opposed to a luxury cruiser, most EV cars share a similar list of pros and cons that you should keep in mind:

Pros

• They are cheap to run since electricity is more abundant than gasoline
• Zero carbon emissions are great for the environment
• There is no delay between applying the throttle and getting moving
• The engine is silent, resulting in serene cruising
• The list of models is ever-increasing and the maximum range is improving

Cons

• The initial capital outlay is much higher than a regular gasoline car
• Your maximum travel range is limited as batteries run flat rather quickly
• Recharging takes time, especially on low-level chargers
