The Best Used Electric SUVs for 2025

If you're considering purchasing a used electric SUV, you're in luck. Used electric vehicle prices have significantly dropped over the past year and a half. To help you narrow down your used electric SUV search, we picked our 10 highest-ranking electric SUVs for the 2022 model year. We used 2022 models because their prices are considerably lower than when they were new, and you can usually find plenty of them thanks to end-of-lease returns. We ranked the electric SUVs by their 2022 Edmunds Rating, and models with the same rating score were ordered by their average price. We also included the EPA-estimated driving range and the result from the Edmunds EV Range Test for each model.

There is also a used EV tax credit of up to $4,000 that can now be applied to the sales price of the EV or toward your tax liability for the year the EV is purchased. To qualify, the used EV must cost $25,000 or less, be purchased from a licensed dealership, and be at least 2 model years old from the current year. There are also income requirements. For a full rundown of the requirements, check out our thorough explanation of EV tax credits. However, it is possible that the Trump administration could discontinue all EV tax credits.

BMW iX

The BMW iX is one of our favorite electric luxury SUVs. It tops this list, and we recommend purchasing one, but only if you're OK with its polarizing grille. The iX was introduced for the 2022 model year, so there might not be that much used inventory in your area. Fortunately, the price of the 2022 models is significantly lower than when new, but they are still too expensive to qualify for the used EV tax credit.

The five-passenger iX is BMW's only electric SUV. It was a class leader when it debuted and is still one of the best luxury EVs on the market. If you can land one within your budget, you'll be pleased with its roomy and comfortable interior, top-notch tech features, and quick acceleration. The iX's gorgeous and very functional interior makes up for its questionable exterior design, and so does its agile handling. The electric BMW impressed us on our real-world Edmunds EV Range Test by driving 377 miles, well beyond its EPA estimate.

If you can't get past that front end, or if there aren't many used iXs in your area, check out the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. It didn't make the list because it's not 3 years old yet, but it's an excellent alternative, and a decent amount of used models are already on the market.

Average price: $55,408 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.4 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 305-324 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 377 mile

Kia Niro EV

The Niro EV isn't only one of our highest-rated electric SUVs from 2022; it's also the second most affordable model on the list. And because of that, many qualify for the $4,000 tax credit. If you're on a budget, you should seriously consider the Niro EV.

As the name says, the Niro EV is the electric version of the standard Niro, which is a hybrid. There is also the Niro Plug-in Hybrid model, which also qualifies for the used EV tax credit. The Niro EV was introduced for the 2019 model year and received several updates over the years until it was redesigned for 2023.

The Niro EV won us over with its fun driving dynamics, long list of standard features, solid driving range and comfortable ride. On the downside, we wished it offered all-wheel drive and had better rear visibility.

Average price: $21,255 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.3 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 239 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 280 miles

Hyundai Ioniq 5

The Ioniq 5 has been one of the most popular electric SUVs since its debut in 2022. Folks like its sporty retro styling, ample driving range, and long list of standard features. It also boasts a very comfortable ride and is one of the fastest-charging EVs when using a fast-charging station. However, the Ioniq 5 has less front trunk and rear cargo space than many rivals and poor rear visibility.

Since it's a relatively new EV, used Ioniq 5s aren't as plentiful as other electric SUVs on this list, but some will qualify for the $4,000 tax credit. If budget is your priority, aim for the base SE Standard Range model, but they aren't very common and offer EPA-estimated range of only 220 miles. If range is more important, get any other trim level with a single motor (rear-wheel drive) for 303 miles of range. Dual-motor all-wheel-drive models are rated at 256 miles.

If you can't find the right Ioniq 5, consider its corporate cousin, the Kia EV6. Both electric SUVs have similar pricing, range, power and features.

Average price: $27,310 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.3 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 202-303 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 270 miles (dual-motor)

Hyundai Kona Electric

The Niro EV's corporate cousin is another highly rated electric SUV and the most affordable model on the list. Many used models should qualify for the tax credit. The Kona Electric is a little smaller than the Niro EV but delivers more range. We were impressed by how it drove 308 miles in the Edmunds EV Range Test, well above its EPA estimate.

The Kona Electric shares many of the Niro EV's qualities including a generous list of standard features, agile handling and a comfortable ride. Its long range is among the best for the price. But because of its small size, rear seat room and cargo space are tight compared to most SUVs. The lack of all-wheel drive is another negative.

Although the Kona Electric launched for the 2019 model year, used models might be hard to come by because it wasn't made in high volumes. Aim for a 2022 or 2023 model if you want the restyled exterior and updated tech features. The Kona Electric was completely redesigned for 2024.

Average price: $20,881 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.2 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 258 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 308 miles

Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Mustang Mach-E is one of the most engaging electric SUVs to drive and one of the sportiest-looking, as you'd expect of something with Mustang in the name. It's been one of our top-performing electric SUVs since its debut in 2021 and should be on your short list of used electric SUVs. However, most won't qualify for the tax credit.

Besides being fun to drive, the extended-range battery pack models offer lots of range and plentiful cargo space. The Mach-E's 15.5-inch center touchscreen is impressive-looking and the Sync operating system is easy to use. Our few complaints include the limited number of seat adjustments and the short range of the models with the standard-range battery pack.

The Mach-E is available in rear- and all-wheel drive, but rear-wheel-drive models provide the most range. The Select trim level is the most affordable but delivers the least range. California Route 1 and Premium models offer the extended-range pack for additional range. Performance-minded shoppers should opt for the 480-horsepower GT model.

Average price: $30,646 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.2 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 224-314 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 264 miles (standard range), 344 miles (extended range)

Tesla Model Y

The Model Y is the most popular electric SUV because most versions offer over 300 miles of range. The used market has more Model Ys than any other electric SUV. It comes loaded with lots of tech features and has access to Tesla's vast national charging network.

The Long Range and Performance models make up most of the 2022 models, but a more affordable Standard Range model was briefly available. Although used Model Y prices have come down, it might not be easy to find one that qualifies for the tax credit.

Besides the lengthy list of standard features and competitive range, the Model Y is also very quick and fun to drive and offers a spacious cabin with lots of passenger and cargo room. You also get neat features that rivals didn't offer at the time like video streaming and arcade games. However, it lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and almost everything is controlled through the center screen, which can be difficult while driving. Build quality can also be an issue on some vehicles.

Average price: $31,621 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 244-330 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 310 miles (Long Range model)

Tesla Model X

The Model X, famed for its falcon-wing doors, was the first electric luxury SUV that offered three rows of seating when it launched in 2016. It's still one of the few three-row electric SUVs, but like the Model Y, it's optional and small. If you don't need three rows, some Model Xs only come with two rows, which frees up more cargo space.

The Model X had a big year in 2021. It received a redesigned interior, including a new 17-inch touchscreen, and the lineup added an insanely quick 1,020-hp Plaid model. The 2022 Long Range model delivers a range of 348 miles. But most of the Teslas we've tested failed to hit their EPA estimates in the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test.

If you choose a Model X, you'll likely be happy with its distinct combination of features, range and power that most rivals lack. But keep in mind that Teslas don't have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the cool falcon-wing doors might not work well in places with low ceilings.

Average price: $59,979 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 311-348 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 294 miles (2020 Long Range model)

Rivian R1S

The R1S is an electric SUV made by Rivian, an EV startup that's also known for its R1T electric truck. When the R1S launched in 2022, it was one of the first electric SUVs that provided a third row of seating. But instead of focusing on luxury, the adventure-focused startup designed an EV with impressive off-road capability and a distinctive boxy design.

The R1S also boasts a large cabin with lots of passenger and cargo space, solid range, and loads of power. On the downside, it has a firm ride for a luxury SUV and lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The company's service network is still growing, so find out if there is a center near you if you're considering a used R1S.

Since Rivians aren't made in high volumes, finding a used R1S might not be easy depending on where you live. 2022 models are rare, so you'll likely find a used 2023 or 2024 model instead. That's good because R1S offered more motor and battery configurations those years but bad because they are still pretty expensive and don't qualify for the tax credit. Used Rivians can be purchased from the company itself or from a traditional dealership that sells used cars.

Average price: $68,446 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.1 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 316 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 330 miles

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

The Bolt EUV is the SUV version of the Bolt EV hatchback. It's slightly larger, providing more legroom than the Bolt EV, but headroom and cargo space are very similar. It's not surprising that the Bolt EUV is one of the most affordable EVs on this list, it was the most affordable electric SUV when it was new.

The Bolt EUV was introduced for the 2022 model year and was discontinued the following year along with the Bolt EV. Even though it had a short run, there are plenty of used examples, and finding one that qualifies for the federal tax credit shouldn't be hard. If you're OK with the size of the Bolt EV hatchback, it's a good little EV that's worth checking out. There are significantly more used Bolt EVs because it debuted for the 2017 model year.

Besides being affordable, the Bolt EUV is comfortable and offers lots of tech features including Super Cruise, a hands-free highway driving assistance system. But like the Kona Electric and Niro EV above, all-wheel drive isn't available. The electric Chevy also has a small cargo area for an SUV and a fast-charging capability of just 55 kW, lower than many rivals.

Average price: $22,920
Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 247 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 265 miles

Kia EV6

If the Niro EV doesn't have enough range or if you want all-wheel drive, consider the larger EV6. Compared to its Hyundai Ioniq 5 relative, the EV6 looks and drives sportier but lacks its smooth ride and offers less cargo space. But the EV6 shares the Ioniq 5's ample range, very quick fast-charging capability, and long list of standard features.

The EV6 offers an entry-level Light model with a lower estimated range of 232 miles, but they aren't common. Most folks will likely find a Wind or GT-Line model that's available with a single motor (rear-wheel drive) that provides over 300 miles of range or with dual motors (all-wheel drive) that deliver 274 miles.

Used EV6s are widely available, but because they were introduced for the 2022 model year, they aren't as common as used Ford Mustang Mach-Es or Tesla Model Ys. If you want the $4K tax credit, finding a model that qualifies could be difficult depending on where you live.

Average price: $28,010 (2022 model)
Edmunds Rating: 8.0 (out of 10)
EPA-estimated range: 232-310 miles
Edmunds Tested Range: 283 miles (dual-motor)

Edmunds says

The Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, Genesis GV60 and Cadillac Lyriq are also great choices for used electric SUVs, but those models didn't make the list because they aren't 3 years old yet. We recommend considering a certified pre-owned (CPO) model because they receive a more thorough inspection, offer extended warranties, and in some cases better interest rates.
