The following top 6 provides an overview of the best 2025 electric SUVs and ultimately reveals a winner.
2025 Audi Q6 e-tron
Making its debut this year, the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron luxury midsize SUV offers impressive power, via two electric motors that together produce 456 HP.
With a spacious, quiet and extremely comfortable cabin, the electric Audi SUV stands out among its rivals. Moreover, range reaches 495 km. Should you prefer a sportier vehicle—comparable to the best luxury sports cars—we invite you to try the SQ6 e-tron trim, which produces up to 509 horsepower and offers an efficient range of 445 km.
As with all vehicles from the brand, the Q6 e-tron benefits from the Audi warranty, which is very extensive as well as Audi roadside assistance, one of the best in the industry.
In short, the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron is an excellent, high-performance and well-rounded electric vehicle.
2025 Audi Q4 e-tron
The 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron luxury electric SUV is a refined compact SUV featuring an extraordinary build quality.
Inside, you will enjoy premium materials, very comfortable seats, state-of-the-art technology and much more.
The 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron is a pleasure to drive. Interestingly, it offers two efficient powertrains:
- 45: an electric motor producing 282 horsepower and a range of 463 km.
- 55: two electric motors that develop a combined 335 horsepower and ensure a range of 415 km.
It is also worth noting that the Q4 e-tron 55 benefits from flawless all-wheel drive.
In short, this 2025 luxury compact electric SUV stands out and has already become a favourite among many automotive experts. It is a refined and high-performance electric vehicle that allows you to travel long distances before having to stop at a charging station.
2025 Volvo EX90
New to the electric mobility market, the 2025 Volvo EX90 luxury electric SUV offers a powertrain that produces 509 horsepower, which is equivalent to the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron, and a range of 480 km.
At present, Volvo has not announced a front-wheel drive trim, which might be more affordable.
Compared to other luxury midsize SUVs, the 2025 Volvo EX90 is very expensive and is likely the heaviest in this top 6, weighing in at 6,213 lb.
Furthermore, the interior is spacious and comfortable. This is a talented electric vehicle that can accommodate up to seven occupants.
2025 Genesis GV70
Introduced in 2023, the 2025 Genesis GV70 luxury compact electric SUV promises effective on-road performance and impeccable build quality. Spacious and refined, it leaves nothing to be desired.
In the electrified trim, you will find two electric motors producing 483 horsepower. While the vehicle is powerful, its range is disappointing, at only 380 km.
Moreover, the Genesis GV70 is also available with a gasoline engine, but the electric SUV commands a very high price. Additionally, rear passenger space is rather average.
2025 Cadillac Lyriq
The Lyriq from Cadillac is a luxury midsize SUV that can accommodate up to five passengers.
Available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, it does not fail to impress. If you opt for the front-wheel drive trim, it produces 340 horsepower and an efficient range of 505 km. The all-wheel-drive trim offers two electric motors, for a combined output of 500 horsepower and a range of 494 km.
Although the 2025 Cadillac Lyriq makes this top 6 for best 2025 electric SUVs, you may experience some difficulty with rear visibility. Moreover, if you travel in the countryside, the front grille will be an ideal spot for flies to accumulate along the way.
Finally, the display on the central touch screen is rather small, so you might have to look twice rather than once.
2025 BMW iX
The 2025 BMW iX is also a luxury midsize SUV that offers a well-finished and spacious cabin, engaging driving dynamics and solid accelerations.
It provides three powertrains, including the renowned M60:
- xDrive40: two electric motors producing 322 horsepower with a range of 352 km.
- xDrive50: two electric motors developing 516 horsepower with an efficient range of 497 km.
- M60: two electric motors totalling 532 horsepower (610 with launch mode) and a maximum range of 459 km.
Although the options are abundant, note that the 2025 BMW iX is extremely expensive —likely the priciest of this top 6. Furthermore, if you add extra features, be prepared for a hefty bill.
It is also important to mention that resale value remains below average, weight is considerable (5,818 lb.) and the range of the xDrive40 trim is also disappointing.
In conclusion, as new arrivals come in, two models stand out: the 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron and the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron. Not only are these electric vehicles high performing with efficient ranges, but overall, you also receive more value for your money with these two Audi models. They are truly skilled and complete electric vehicles.
