From Time Magazine:

Electric SUVs and plug-in hybrid SUVs have seen major improvements in the past year, with longer battery life and lower prices. Some models can now travel over 300 miles on a single charge, providing better value for drivers.

Kia’s EV6 is the best overall choice for electric SUVs, offering a driving range of 252-310 miles, powerful performance, and a comfortable ride. It has earned recognition for its luxury feel, range, and comfortable seats, as well as safety and warranty coverage.

The Kia EV6 also stands out for its safety features, earning top marks in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s crash tests and headlight illumination category. It’s one of the pricier models in the market, but offers excellent safety protection.

Tesla’s Model Y has been recognized for its retained value, with JD Power indicating that it stands out in the electric vehicle market. The high demand, long range, and low starting price make it a reliable choice that retains its value over time.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers the best warranty among the electrified SUVs, with coverage for the powertrain, battery, and electrical components for a longer period. It also provides drivers with a five-year/ 60,000-mile limited warranty and a 10-year/ 100,000-mile warranty for the powertrain, battery, and electrical components.

For a certified pre-owned option, the Kia Sportage Plug-in Hybrid provides a range of benefits, including a lengthy warranty, free Carfax report, satellite-radio trial, and rental car and travel reimbursement for covered repairs. It also offers the convenience of both electric and gas-powered engine options.
