1. Mercedes-Benz EQS – 481 miles
)
The Mercedes EQS is, in many ways, a luxurious bar of soap on wheels. With a 0.20 drag coefficient, it’s officially the slipperiest car in production, which helps it achieve the stellar 481-mile range.
That class-leading range doesn’t come cheap, though – EQS start at more than £100,000. But you are getting one of the most luxurious cars on the market, so it’s swings and roundabouts.
Plus, it supports 200kW fast charging, cutting wait times to just 30 minutes for a 10-80% charge, because if you have an EQS then you have places to be and people to see.
2. Volkswagen ID.7 – 424 miles
)
If you’re a long-time fan of the Passat, the Volkswagen ID.7 will be right up your street.
As the spiritual successor to the petrol and diesel-powered Passat (now only offered as an estate), the fully-electric ID.7 ‘fastback’ offers a superb range of up to 424 miles.
The standard ID.7 Pro gets a respectable 373 miles of range, but upgrade to the Pro S and that’s when you unlock the added range.
All this in a car that costs almost half as much as the EQS and is still plenty premium enough for most.
3. Peugeot e-3008 – 422 miles
)
Peugeot has taken a big leap forward with its design and quality in recent years, and now they’ve done the same with the range in the e-3008.
The French SUV is now comfortably in the big leagues with an impressive 422 miles of range.
The 2024 refresh turned the e-3008 into what Peugeot calls a ‘fastback SUV’ and, as well as a really slick look, it brings the drag coefficient right down to 0.28 for extra efficiency.
Plus, it has aggressive regenerative braking that helps to pump extra range back into the battery when you need it the most.
The long-range e-3008 arrived at the end of 2024, but it’ll still cost considerably less than some of the other names on this list. And you’ll get Peugeot’s great build quality and premium feel.
4. Porsche Taycan – 422 miles
)
Porsche’s luxury electric saloon received a whopping 35% boost to its electric range in the 2024 refresh.
The Taycan was already one of the most compelling EVs on the market, but this new 422-mile range – along with the styling and tech updates – adds a whole new dimension.
To go the distance, you’ll have to choose the single-motor, rear-wheel drive Taycan with the optional 105kWh Performance Battery Plus.
Don’t worry if you want an all-singing all-dancing Taycan Turbo S; they also got a bump of more 140 miles with the 2024 refresh, thanks to the 97kWh battery.
On top of all of that, it’s up there with the fastest-charging electric cars at 320kW – 50kW faster than before.
