Electric cars are now available in different variants. There are many hatchbacks and the popular SUV body is also generously represented. What is an attractive electric SUV?
An SUV is a slightly higher-up car, which has several advantages. For example, with five doors and a tailgate, it is often practical. Many people can also appreciate the high entry. You can read that in the article about the SUV. Of course, this also applies to the electric SUV as a car type.
Benefits of electric SUV
An electric car is generally heavier because of the batteries. And the body of the SUV offers many possibilities in the design to accommodate a (larger) battery pack. That is why you see a relatively large number of electric cars driving in SUV form. As electric cars become more efficient, you see that the battery can remain smaller and that it is therefore (economically) easier to design a smaller car with a good battery. And there are also SUVs with electric versions that score well in the studies of reliable cars. So a good sign!
Electric SUV expensive?
The nice thing about the whole story here is that an electric SUV doesn’t have to be that expensive. In fact, if you factor in the subsidy on new electric cars, the Dacia Spring is one of the cheapest electric cars – and the cheapest electric SUV on the market! And it is available from 17,070 euros. Not including the purchase subsidy for electric cars.
Then you see that there is plenty of choice in the segment of electric SUVs. The Tesla X is at the other end of the scale and for that you can count on a ton to hand over in exchange for a set of keys. And in between are popular cars like the Peugeot e-2008, the Audi e-Tron models, the popular MG ZS and Marvel SUVs and the BMW iX, the Volvo’s C40 and XC40 Recharge… to name a few. Plenty of choice now, also from the well-known brands. In the AutoWeek CarBase car comparator you will find the various types with their properties and prices.
It may be that a private lease is more interesting for you with an electric car than with a petrol or fuel SUV. You will also find a lot of advice about this on AutoWeek.
Towing a trailer
You buy an SUV for its practicality and the space you have in it. You will probably do more with it than just the ride to the sports club or the hardware store. Several electric SUVs are also suitable for larger jobs, such as towing a trailer or caravan. In the AutoWeek CarBase Car Comparer you will find the electric cars that can pull a trailer.
