The Best Affordable Electric SUVs in Canada

Electrification has been a hot topic across the auto industry for a few years now, but not every driver has the same needs and is looking for the same thing. Before spending tens of thousands of hard-earned dollars on a brand new EV and possibly changing your daily driving habits, you would be wise to do your homework and compare the various options out there.

Pricing is just one part of the equation, but a big one, for sure. Yes, EVs have much lower ownership costs than their conventionally powered counterparts, but most of them carry a hefty tag that can scare potential buyers. Luckily, the federal government and some provincial governments offer generous incentives to make it easier to swallow.

We’ve compiled the 10 best affordable electric SUVs you can still find in 2023—just browse through the photo gallery above to see the list. Some of them are not returning for 2024, so you need to act fast!

La seule offre électrique du géant de Wolfsburg s’appelle ID.4 et force est d’admettre que le prix d’entrée est assez intéressant lorsqu'on le compare aux autres VÉ récents sur le marché. Certes, il s’agit une fois de plus d’une version à roues arrière motrices, tandis que sa batterie d’une capacité de 62 kWh limite ses déplacements à 336 km entre chaque recharge. Le constructeur a toutefois indiqué que le millésime 2024 gagnerait quelques kilomètres, mais pour le moment, cette donnée n’est pas encore disponible.
