Which mid-size luxury electric SUVs have the longest battery range?

Battery range is just one of the many things to consider when looking for an electric vehicle (EV) for your family, along with the usual criteria of safety, price, technology, refinement, boot space for prams and sports gear, room for child seats in the back, and legroom for everyone else on board.

If you are looking across the price range check out our article on the Top 10 mainstream mid-size electric family SUVs with the longest range.

To help in your selection and to understand the benefits of going electric for your family car, see our article Best Electric Cars for Families.

If you want ample range for road trips and holidays along with the school runs, extracurricular drop-offs, commuting and the kids’ sports and family fun at the weekend then these long-range luxury EVs could help give you that peace of mind.

Depending on whether you have a home charger or use public chargers, a long-range mid-size luxury electric SUV also gives you the flexibility to keep the battery topped up regularly or charge once every week or two. In any case, the average Aussie drives less than 40km a day!

With the long battery ranges of the cars on this list you can get multiple hours of driving under your belt (in some cases a full day) before you’d need to charge.

Put it this way, with kids onboard you’ll need to be stopping more frequently for leg-stretching, meals, bathroom breaks and good old-fashioned sanity than you will for battery top-ups with any of the cars on this list.

New luxury EVs frequently join the market and technology keeps evolving but, having driven many premium electric cars with my family onboard over the last decade, I’ve put together this list of fully electric, mid-size luxury family SUVs with the biggest battery ranges.

1. BMW iX3: 805km

The BMW iX3 is a mid-size luxury family SUV promising to alleviate range anxiety! Its claimed 805km (for the iX3 50 xDrive available from launch in its most efficient specification) means I'd be able to do more than a week of school runs and commutes between charges.

It would also be great for family road trips, allowing a full day of driving before needing to charge at night while everyone's sleeping.

The roomy cabin has a flashy look with ISOFIX points in the two outboard rear seats and top-tether anchorages for all three rear seats.

I am yet to determine whether this fresh-to-Australia SUV fits three child seats across or leaves enough legroom up front with forward- and rear-facing child seats in the back, so watch this space.

The iX3 has a 520-litre boot plus a 58L frunk, which should be plenty for a twin pram but will need my signature BabyDrive pram and shopping bag testing to find out how suitable it is for real-life family practicality.

2. Mercedes Benz GLC: 713km

The Mercedes Benz GLC EV is currently the mid-size luxury family SUV with second-longest battery range at 713km. This would give most families ample driving for at least a week of local driving and commutes between charging.

A plush and high-tech interior should make the new electric GLC a comfy car for family road trips, with enough range for many hours of country or highway driving before needing to charge.

The GLC EV has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, promising good headroom and legroom inside the cabin. The interior oozes luxury with Nappa leather or vegan certified upholstered seats. It has ISOFIX anchors in the two outer rear seats and top-tether anchorages for all three rear seats.

Up front is a 39.1-inch ‘hyperscreen’ across the dash that has the option to set a family photograph or favourite holiday snap on the passenger-facing portion of the screen.

The GLC EV has a 570L boot, which should be plenty for a twin pram, plus a large 128L frunk which would swallow some models of compact travel stroller with room to spare for storing the nappy bags.

3. Volvo EX60: 660km (but 810km version coming)

The new Volvo EX60 made headlines with its 810km battery range claim, but that only applies to the top-spec P12 version that you can’t order in Australia yet, and it’s expected to cost at least $120,000 when it goes on sale next year.

For now, Volvo says you can travel 660km on a single charge in the EX60 P10 AWD, and 610km in the P6 base model.

With ISOFIX anchors in the two outer rear seats and top-tether anchorages on the back of all three rear seats, the hardware is there for families who need to fit three child seats across.

But watch this space as the EX60 is so new that I haven't yet tried it out for child seat fitting; it depends on the physical seat and cabin design as to whether three child seats will fit across and how much legroom there is in front of them.

Apart from that, the EX60's interior is spacious, with good legroom throughout and headroom for tall adults and lanky teens in the back.

The Volvo’s 523-litre boot and a 58L frunk capacities are spookily similar to the BMW iX3’s and should be ample for your pram and weekly shop (but also like the iX3 will need my signature BabyDrive pram and shopping bag testing for a true comparison).

4. Polestar 4: 620km

The Polestar 4 is the electric-only brand’s most popular SUV and something different for growing families. Its 620km range services the weekly family runaround as well as commutes and weekend drives before needing charging.

Its cabin design is futuristic but calm and premium. The interior is very minimal, with no buttons at all on the dash and all controls housed within the media screen.

The seats are well cushioned and comfortable in the back, with ISOFIX anchors in the two outer rear seats and top-tether anchorages on the back of all three rear seats, giving flexibility for where you position a child seat.

But watch this space as I haven't yet tried it out for child seat fitting; it depends on the physical seat and cabin design as to whether three child seats will fit across and how much legroom remains in front of them.

Also, with no rear windscreen it might be a bit weird for rear-facing infants and toddlers, and it relies on a camera feed instead of a traditional rear view mirror. A more conventional SUV-shaped Polestar 4 is coming soon.

The Polestar 4's interior has good headroom and legroom for taller adults and lanky teens in the back.

The Polestar’s 526L boot should be big enough for a twin pram for families who need it, but the little 15L frunk won’t hold much more than your charging cables.

5. Audi SQ6 e-tron Sportback: 584 km

Currently ranked in fifth position in terms of mid-size luxury electric family SUVs with the longest range is the Audi SQ6 e-tron Sportback.

The SQ6 e-tron Sportback has a clean and minimal interior with luxury finishes that feel robust enough that they’d stand up to family life. However, it’s not for families with three young siblings as I could only fit two child seats in the second row.

Legroom is ample for a 186cm-tall driver in front of forward-facing child seats, or a 184cm driver in front of rear-facing child seats.

I managed to fit a double pram in the Q6 e-tron’s 526L boot and there is plenty of room for the weekly shop or older kids' sports gear or instruments. There is also a 64L frunk.

6. Genesis GV60: 561km

The Genesis GV60 is a beautiful EV that’s technically a small SUV but as large as some others on this list, and it has a generous 561km range that’s ample for my family’s weekly school runs, commutes and extracurricular activities before recharging at the weekend.

Its elegant interior space is filled with clever storage solutions that help make family life simpler, such as cupholders in the doors that are easy for kids to reach and a big drawer-style glovebox that can hold the kids’ iPads.

The rear seats are wide and spacious, with plenty of room for lanky teens or adults. For those with younger kids, three rear-facing or forward-facing child seats fit across easily, and there’s enough legroom for a 186cm driver in front of a rear-facing infant capsule, or a taller driver in front of a forward-facing child seat.

At 680L, the boot is big too, and I was still able to fit a twin pram with a little room remaining for shopping. The Genesis GV60 also has a shallow frunk for your charging cables.

7. Audi Q4 e-tron: 540km

In seventh position, the Audi Q4 e-tron wades in with 540km of battery range in sleek Sportback form, and 524km for the wagon. This is enough to keep most families moving for their weeks’ driving, but you may need a strategically timed lunch and charging stop on full-day family road trips.

Compared with the bigger Q6 and SQ6, the Audi Q4 e-tron has a trick up its sleeve because it can fit three child seats across in the back, where’s there’s also very good legroom. A 188cm driver can sit in front of a rear-facing child seat, or there’s plenty of legroom for those with lanky teens.

With 520L of boot space in the SUV and 535L in the Sportback, both versions are similarly practical when it comes to space for prams and sports equipment. The Audi Q4 e-tron has no frunk, just a storage area under the boot floor for the charging cables.

8. Porsche Macan: 529km

Porsche sold a lot of petrol Macans, but the new all-electric version is also becoming a popular mid-size luxury SUV.

It brings up the rear of this list because Porsche Cars Australia quotes 529km of range for the entry-level Macan, whereas in Europe the equivalent variant is advertised weith up to 641km (the versions we get here have a higher spec and bigger wheels, which add weight and reduce range).

Even so, 529km is more than enough for our family's weekly school runs and commutes between charges.

The Porsche Macan fits three child seats nicely across the back seats. With forward-facing child seats there is good legroom, but it's tighter for front passengers when the child seats are rear-facing.

A 540L boot is generous enough for families with young siblings, as a twin pram fits easily alongside a couple of bags of shopping, and there’s another 84L of space in the frunk.

The interior is clutter free and modern, and despite there being multiple screens inside, the Macan doesn’t feel like tech overload.

9. Genesis Electrified GV70: 462km

The Genesis GV70 Electrified is a lovely five-seat family SUV.

With a battery range of 462km, it is more than 300km behind the BMW iX3, but the GV70 will still allow for several days of local driving for most families before it needs plugging in.

In reality, it is also enough to get a good way into a day’s road trip before needing to charge during a strategically timed lunch or bathroom stop.

The GV70 oozes luxury with quilted seat panelling and an opulent modern interior. The rear seats fit three child seats nicely across. With forward-facing child seats there is very good legroom, but when the child seats are rear-facing you are limited to a 180cm driver in front.

Its 503L boot fits a twin pram for families with young siblings, and there’s another 22L of space in the frunk for the charging cables or puncture repair kit.

10. Lexus RZ: 460km

Last but by no means least, the Lexus RZ lies in 10^th position on this list with just 2km less battery range than the Genesis GV70.

For my family, 460km of battery range is ample and maybe requires topping up with a charge once a week. Most family day trips are also within that range, getting there and back or topping it up while we stop for the kids’ lunch and leg-stretch break.

The Lexus RZ fits three child seats nicely across its very comfortable back seats, leaving very good legroom for tall families. With rear-facing child seats there is room for a 186cm driver and front passenger.

Its 522L boot easily fits a twin pram with the week’s food shop alongside, but there’s no frunk in the Lexus RZ.

The interior is modern and luxurious, with physical climate controls and a distinctive yoke style steering wheel in the top-spec F Sport variant. I just wish it had a glove box!
