The best electric SUVs – driven and ranked

Love or hate them, the number of electric SUVs on sale in the UK is growing yearly. 

More manufacturers are embracing electric technology than ever and the segment is crammed full of options that combine a silent performance and long ranges with the practical versatility of an SUV. 

It’s not hard to see why. Love them or hate them, the best electric SUVs offer a fine blend of long-range capability and cutting-edge technology, with many also sporting a unique design that you just wouldn’t see in other areas of the market. 

From affordable models to luxury vehicles, this list highlights the top choices for 2024 that suit a range of driving needs and budgets. As of right now, we think the Skoda Enyaq is the best electric SUV on sale, and you can find out why below. 

Before we go further, let’s establish how we’re categorising an SUV. Annoyingly, there are no hard and fast rules, so for convenience, we’ll avoid the C-segment hatchbacks, crossovers and SUV-alikes like the Kia Niro EV and Smart #1 here. We deal with those separately in our Best mid-sized electric cars list.

Let’s get on with it, then. Read on to discover which electric SUVs are leading the charge this year.
