The cutting edge in luxury is now the electric vehicle. Every automaker has a plan to make its own. This is a segment to watch, as the automotive best and brightest pour their engineering might into future luxury EVs. Here are the best new and used electric luxury cars available.
1. 2025 Genesis Electrified GV70
Carfax Expert Rating: 9.5 out of 10
Price: $66,950
Pros: Deluxe cabin, relaxed ride, stout engines
Cons: Firm seats, touchscreen isn’t ergonomically placed
The GV70 sets itself apart with its upmarket cabin, which showcases an elegant design and high-quality materials everywhere you look. This SUV also has the relaxed ride that shoppers in this segment value. Its suspension filters out bumps and jolts, making the GV70 an excellent daily driver. The GV70’s stout engines also impress. Both powertrains can facilitate zippy acceleration. The seats are firm, and the touchscreen is far from the driver, so you may have to stretch to access it when you’re behind the wheel.

Carfax Expert Rating: 9.0 out of 10
Price: $52,350

There are also some shortcomings to keep in mind: With just 24.7 cubic feet of space behind the backseat and 54.7 cubic feet behind the first row, cargo capacity lags the GV60’s competitors. Also, rival EVs have more driving range.

This Genesis has less cargo room than some competitors, and the infotainment system can be distracting at times. The G80’s fuel efficiency could be better; other cars in this class get better gas mileage.

5. 2025 BMW i5
Carfax Expert Rating: 8.5 out of 10
Price: $70,100
Pros: Ample trunk space, posh cabin, engaging performance
Cons: Rivals have more straightforward infotainment systems, competitors have more driving range
The i5 is for drivers seeking a luxury electric vehicle (EV) with a posh cabin and engaging performance. The i5 provides lively handling, and it feels sure-footed in daily driving. It also impresses with its plush cabin, showcasing an elegant design and top-drawer materials. This BMW also provides outstanding cargo room; with 17.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity, it has one of the most enormous trunks in its class. There are some drawbacks to consider: Its 295-mile maximum driving range is solid and will be enough for most drivers, but some picks in its class can travel much farther on a full charge. Also, this EV’s infotainment system has a learning curve; competitors have more straightforward setups.
6. 2025 Acura ZDX
Carfax Expert Rating: 8.4 out of 10
Price: $64,500
Pros: Roomy cabin, ample cargo space, competitive driving range, many standard features
Cons: Rivals have nicer cabins, competitors have quicker charging times
The Acura ZDX is an excellent choice for drivers seeking a premium, roomy, comfortable electric vehicle. Both rows have solid legroom, so even taller passengers can get comfortable in the backseat. In addition, the ZDX has ample cargo space, offering up to 63 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. The ZDX delivers a competitive driving range, traveling 313 miles on a full charge with RWD. You also get a generous selection of standard features. There are a couple of weaknesses to keep in mind. The ZDX’s cabin has a few hard plastics, making it feel less upscale than some rivals, and its charging time also lags its competitors.

7. 2025 Lexus RZ
Carfax Expert Rating: 8.3 out of 10
Price: $43,975
Pros: Comfy seats, stylish cabin, lots of cargo room, many standard features
Cons: Rivals have more driving range, limited in-cabin storage
The Lexus RZ is a strong contender for drivers seeking deluxe, electrified transportation. All RZ SUVs have a powertrain with one electric motor that generates 201 horsepower and a single-speed automatic transmission. The RZ is notable for comfortable seats that deliver soothing all-day support, ideal for long journeys. This EV also provides 34.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. The RZ’s handsome cabin showcases a stylish design and upmarket materials. Many amenities come standard. There are some weaknesses to consider. For one, while this EV’s driving range will be adequate for many drivers, rivals travel farther on a full charge. Also, in-cabin storage is limited.

8. 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB
Carfax Expert Rating: 8.1 out of 10
Price: $53,050
Pros: Relaxing to drive, reasonably peppy acceleration, good outward visibility, available third row
Cons: Third row is tiny, lack of driving range, no front trunk
The EQB is for drivers seeking a compact SUV with premium accommodations and emission-free performance. The EQB delivers lively acceleration and a driving range lengthy enough to make it a practical choice for most drivers, and its handling is comfortable and refined. There are also a couple of areas where the EQB fails to impress. Its optional third-row seats are a tight fit for adults, and unlike the typical EV in this class, it doesn’t have a front trunk for added storage space.

9. 2025 Audi Q8 e-tron
Carfax Expert Rating: 8.0 out of 10
Price: $74,400
Pros: Attractive inside and out
Cons: High price
The Q8 e-tron is for drivers seeking an EV with smooth handling and upscale accommodations. One of the first things buyers will notice about this Audi is its high-quality cabin, which showcases a tasteful design and premium materials.

There are a couple of weaknesses to keep in mind. First, while this Audi delivers solid acceleration, it’s not as quick or powerful as some of its rivals. Also, the Q8 e-tron is one of the most expensive models in its class.

10. 2025 Porsche Taycan
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.9 out of 10
Price: $99,400
Pros: Lively handling, peppy acceleration, upscale cabin
Cons: Steep price, rivals have roomier backseats
The Taycan differs from other Porsche vehicles in that it has an all-electric powertrain, but it still delivers the engaging handling you expect from a car with this automaker’s badge. Its deft driving dynamics elevate every commute, making basic drives more memorable. This car also impresses with its swift acceleration. The most potent powertrains are found in the top trims, but even the base powertrain is built to impress. This Porsche also provides a stylish cabin outfitted with premium materials. There are also a couple of deficits to keep in mind. Rivals have roomier backseats, and with a base price around $100K, the Taycan is one of the most expensive models in its class.
11. 2025 BMW i4
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.8 out of 10
Price: $57,900
Pros: Eager acceleration, comfortable ride, impressive battery range
Cons: Vague steering, competitors offer more backseat legroom
Driving range is a top consideration for many EV buyers, and the i4 fares well in this area, traveling up to 318 miles on a fully charged battery. In addition, this BMW impresses with its gentle ride. It’s a pleasant choice for running errands and commuting. Like many EVs, the i4 delivers bracing acceleration. Every powertrain is eager and rewarding, but the top 536-horsepower setup is the most impressive. There are also some weaknesses to consider: The backseat is cramped, with less legroom than some rivals, and this EV suffers from vague steering.
12. 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.8 out of 10
Price: $77,900
Pros: Nice interior, strong acceleration
Cons: Not as nimble as some rivals
The EQE is priced below Mercedes’ ultra-luxurious EQS electric luxury SUV. The EQE is fitted with a raft of comfort and tech features, including the optional Hyperscreen that combines three screens into one seamless 56-inch infotainment display that spans the dashboard’s width. The range-topping AMG trim boasts effortless acceleration with just two motors. Don’t expect it to match the handling prowess of other SUVs on this list. It’s a luxury cruiser at heart.

13. 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.6 out of 10
Price: $49,800
Pros: Lots of high-tech features
Cons: Less power and range than rivals, Sportback version costs more and offers less space
The Audi Q4 e-tron is a worthy choice for drivers in the luxury SUV segment who want a right-size two-row model and can also accommodate home charging. The Q4 e-tron is available in standard and coupe-like Sportback versions. The base model has a more horizontal top and a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive (RWD) powertrain that generates 201 horsepower. Standard on the Sportback model (and available on the standard version) is a dual-motor setup that sends an energetic 295 horses to all four wheels. The operating range on a charge runs from 236 to 265 miles, depending on the configuration. The Q4 can be charged to 80% in 36 minutes via a DC fast charging station.

14. 2025 Rivian R1S
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.5 out of 10
Price: $75,900
Pros: Brisk acceleration, excellent driving range, handsome cabin, excellent off-road capability
Cons: Rivals cost less, no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
The 3-row Rivian R1S and the R1T pickup truck have a similar design inside and out, including the brisk acceleration from the available Quad Motor trim. Off-road performance is impressive, with Rivian developing the R1S to compete with the Range Rover when the going gets rough. The interior of the R1S is luxurious. Two huge screens serve as the infotainment and driver information centers, and the boxy shape and engine-less front trunk provide ample storage. The R1S also has a couple of drawbacks: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t available, and this SUV is one of the most expensive picks in its class.
15. 2025 Lucid Air
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.4 out of 10
Price: $71,400
Pros: Performance and power, shiny new brand
Cons: Uncertainty around the new brand
The Lucid features a posh, modern interior with some conventional controls and various digital screens that emulate traditional controls. The Air is offered in four trims, with various ranges and outputs. The entry-level model is the Pure, which comes with a single 480-horsepower electric motor. The range-topping Dream Edition offers a Performance trim with 1,111 horsepower and the Sapphire trim with 1,234 hp. There’s also a Range version of the Dream Edition, which sacrifices output for distance, but it still makes 933 horsepower.
16. 2025 Tesla Model X
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.4 out of 10
Price: $84,990
Pros: Unbelievable power, cool tech
Cons: High price
The Model X is one of only two electric SUVs – together with the Model Y – with an optional third row. It accelerates faster than any production SUV and rides and handles much like a smaller car. The Model X has an upscale, roomy interior with lots of cargo space. It has dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) and advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS). However, it doesn’t support Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. The Model X relies on Tesla’s internet-based infotainment features.
17. 2025 BMW i7
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.4 out of 10
Price: $105,700
Pros: Choice of engaging models, neck-snapping acceleration, pleasing ride and handling, plush, roomy, and quiet cabin
Cons: Expensive, polarizing exterior styling, busy-looking dashboard, limited cargo space
The BMW i7 is for buyers who want to drive a large and posh passenger car, but who want to leave a smaller carbon footprint than the typical large luxury car. Part of a recent wave of impressive EVs from BMW, the BMW i7 brings the styling and accommodations of the latest 7 Series flagship to a full-electric, zero-emissions alternative – with a few aggressive styling tweaks. Operating range runs from 274-321 miles, depending on the powertrain and wheels chosen. The interior is opulent, quiet, and comfortable, full of digital displays and a bevy of high-tech comfort, connectivity, and safety systems.
18. 2025 Audi e-tron GT
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.4 out of 10
Price: $125,500
Pros: Sleekly styled, quick acceleration and nimble handling, well-equipped, refined and roomy cabin
Cons: Expensive, lacks cargo space
The all-electric Audi e-tron GT hatchback is sleek, with coupe-like styling and zero tailpipe emissions. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) powertrain produces 671 horsepower. The RS model produces 845 horsepower, and the top-of-the-line RS Performance trim makes 912. Audi says the base e-tron GT can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. Its EPA-estimated driving range is 300 miles on a full charge, and standard features are plentiful.

19. 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.3 out of 10
Price: $104,400
Pros: Bright and modern interior, loaded with tech, amazing acceleration, comfortable
Cons: The price, less rear-seat headroom than the S-Class
While the price of the Mercedes EQS is high, so is the amount of cutting-edge tech touches that come along for the ride. This includes what’s called the Hyperscreen, an expansive 56-inch-wide glass panel that stretches across the dashboard. The powertrain options range from strong to rocket-powered. Just don’t expect this big sedan to be nimble. What’s not to like about the EQS? Well, the interior has an overreliance on touch controls and the system is daunting to navigate without plenty of practice. The price is also high, especially when scaling to upper trims.
Mercedes-Benz EQS ReviewMercedes-Benz EQS For Sale
20. 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV
Carfax Expert Rating: 7.3 out of 10
Price: $105,250
Pros: Futuristic dashboard, elegant interior, plenty of power and competitive range
Cons: Confusing touch controls, onboard tech takes lots of practice, expensive
The EQS SUV separates itself from the pack with its dazzling tech features, indulgent interiors, and powerful electric motors. While the EQS is available with cutting-edge tech features that include a 56-inch Hyperscreen, the lack of physical controls and enormous digital real estate can be difficult to use. If you’ve always aspired to pilot Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, this cabin is for you. The EQS emphasizes comfort above athletic handling, resulting in lackluster driving dynamics compared to rivals.

21. 2025 Tesla Model S
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.9 out of 10
Price: $79,990
Pros: Performance and power, cool tech
Cons: Not as luxurious as rivals
It’s hard to beat the Model S if you’re looking for a vehicle with quick acceleration. This car’s handling is also impressive; though the Model S is a large vehicle, it feels planted and secure when tackling corners. A driving range of up to 348 miles makes the Model S a practical choice, as does its 25 cubic feet of cargo space. There are also some drawbacks to consider. Given its steep price, this SUV’s cabin falls short; rival interiors look more deluxe. Also, like all Tesla vehicles, the Model S isn’t available with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
22. 2025 Polestar 2
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.7 out of 10
Price: $64,800
Pros: Lively acceleration, good price
Cons: Ungainly proportions cut into cargo space
The Polestar 2 is a fun car to drive on a daily commute or weekend outing. The cabin features modern design elements and deluxe accommodations. Its Scandinavian aesthetic feels clean, and the materials are top-notch. There’s also comfortable, adult-friendly seating in both rows. There are a couple of weaknesses to consider. For one, the Polestar 2’s ride quality suffers with the available Performance Pack; it improves handling but brings a stiff ride. Also, the cabin has minimal storage space for smaller personal items.
23. 2025 Cadillac Lyriq
Carfax Expert Rating: 6.0 out of 10
Price: $58,595
Pros: Plush cabin, cushioned ride, many standard features
Cons: No front trunk, rivals have more straightforward infotainment systems
The Lyriq is designed for drivers seeking a premium SUV that’s comfortable and deluxe. This Cadillac impresses with its deluxe cabin. All models use high-end materials, and top trims treat passengers to upgrades like Nappa leather upholstery. Drivers who value a smooth ride will also appreciate what the Lyriq offers; its suspension is tuned for comfort, soaking up bumps before they can jostle those seated in the cabin. The Lyriq also offers lots of appealing standard features. The Lyriq also has some weaknesses to keep in mind. First, though its infotainment system looks great and is reasonably straightforward, it has numerous menus. Also, unlike many EVs, the Lyriq doesn’t provide a front trunk.

24. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV
Carfax Expert Rating: 5.7 out of 10
Base Price: $96,550
Pros: Swift acceleration, smooth ride, outstanding off-roader
Cons: Steep price, so-so interior quality
The Hummer EV is for drivers seeking a big electric vehicle that’s both quick and off-road capable. The SUV comes standard with a 625-horsepower setup, with a range of up to 315 miles on a full charge. The Hummer EV has a lot of horsepower, so its lively acceleration isn’t surprising. And it’s rugged enough to thrive off-road. GMC’s EV misses the mark in some areas: It’s one of the most expensive options in its class, yet its cabin is underwhelming.
