Mercedes EQA
Mercedes-Benz's electric small SUV sits on the GLA platform and shares its body silhouette. The 5-star ANCAP rating is inherited from the B-Class tested in 2019, which is worth knowing — the result is dated under newer protocols.

Other EVs you might consider
iX1
BMW's smallest electric SUV pairs the X1 body with a single-spec, AWD-only electric powertrain. Quick, well-resolved, and after a $8k price drop in 2026, finally a serious challenger to the Mercedes EQA and Volvo EX40.
- From
- $77,900
- Range up to
- 475 km
- Battery up to
- 64.8 kWh
iX2
BMW's electric coupe-SUV — the X2's electric sibling. Mechanically identical to the iX1 but with a coupe-style roofline. The 22 kW three-phase AC charging is class-leading.
- From
- $79,900
- Range up to
- 470 km
- Battery up to
- 64.8 kWh
Niro EV
Kia's mainstream small electric SUV sits below the EV5 in the range and shares architecture with the Hyundai Kona Electric. Less daring than the EV6 but a solid all-rounder backed by Kia's seven-year warranty.
