If you’re looking for a luxury electric SUV, there are now plenty to choose from on the market. It’s no longer just Tesla, but models from familiar luxury brands like Acura, Volvo, Lexus, BMW, and more. These models are packed with high-end features, long driving ranges, and the latest in driver-assistance systems.
Tesla Model X
When it comes to luxury electric SUVs, Tesla is still the name many think of. The Model X is known for its longer range than most competitors, impressive performance, and a long list of cutting-edge tech like Autopilot. However, the Model X is more of a crossover SUV with largely car-like features. There are now several other EV models that are more like traditional SUVs.
Rivian R1S
One such traditional SUV is the Rivian R1S. The California startup has taken the electric world by storm with its highly popular truck and SUV models. The R1S shines in every category that makes an SUV, an SUV. It has three rows, a luxury interior, and is incredibly capable off-road.
BMW iX xDrive50
The all-electric BMW iX is surprisingly efficient and agile for its size. It offers one of the longest ranges in this segment at 377 miles, and it’s comfortable and spacious inside. The only downside might be its somewhat polarizing design, not to mention a fairly high price tag.
Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ SUV
The Mercedes EQE is an impressive entry in the segment with a host of helpful technology, premium build quality, and an elegant cabin. It also boasts a healthy range of 345 miles. It’s priced high, but competitively for the luxury segment. The 350+ isn’t quite the top performer you might expect, but it’s still a top pick for luxury electric SUVs.
Cadillac LYRIQ
The LYRIQ is basically everything you’d expect from the Cadillac brand. It’s quiet, comfortable, fun to drive, and very luxurious. It gets 319 miles of range and hits a middle price range under $70,000 for the top trim. It may not be as polished as a BMW or Mercedes, but it does a lot of things really well.
Acura ZDX
The Acura ZDX is quick and stylish with responsive handling and a quiet cabin. Like most of its luxury rivals, the ZDX comes with a long list of modern tech features. However, its interior build falls somewhat short of other models in the luxury SUV segment, not to mention Acura’s other SUV models.
Volvo EX30
Compared to other luxury electric SUVs in this list, the Volvo EX30 is a pretty affordable model with a price point under $50,000. The EX30 is a compact SUV with a stylish design and sharp acceleration. However, its rear seat is somewhat cramped, and it lacks some of the cutting-edge tech of more expensive rivals.
Honda Prologue
Even though the Prologue is essentially a GM electric SUV with the same platform as the Chevy Blazer EV, it’s still a Honda with some different design elements. It’s also more affordable than some other rivals, even though it’s not the most luxurious SUV on this list.
