How we ranked these

We ranked luxury electric SUVs and crossovers on sale in the US, with no sedans, using each maker’s own US page for starting MSRP, power and charging, and fueleconomy.gov for EPA range where it is listed; Porsche’s own page carries its EPA range table. IIHS awards come from the 2026 Top Safety Pick list, and results for models not on it could not be confirmed. MSRPs exclude destination except where a maker does not state it (Audi, Rivian). Model years differ (2026 and 2027). Volvo’s electric SUV was left out because Volvo’s US page could not be read to confirm its 2027 price. For the wider field see our Top 10 Luxury EVs, which mixes sedans and SUVs, at /cars/best-luxury-evs-2027/, our Top 10 Electric SUVs at /cars/best-electric-suvs-2027/ and our Top 10 Cadillac Models at /cars/best-cadillac-models-2027/.
