Best Electric Sedans | 2026 EV Sedan Cars Rated | CarBuzzOver the past few years, electric cars have come a long way, and you are no longer restricted to a hatchback or electric sedan. However, the traditional three-box body style remains one of the most efficient and reliable. Sedans are cheap in comparison to SUVs or pickups, and their lower weight means they boast some of the best all-electric ranges. However, with luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW getting serious about their own EV models, this may be the future of performance vehicles, too. Here is our ranking of the best electric sedans of 2026.Vehicles are assigned a BuzzScore in relation to their direct segment competitors, and as such, vehicles in this list, while similarly scored, do not necessarily compete directly against one another. Find out more about how the BuzzScore ratings work here. These lists are continuously updated with the latest BuzzScores and vehicles as they become available. Porsche Taycan Starting our list of the best electric sedans is the Porsche Taycan. Porsche offers a wide range of Taycan variants, including a wagon, for those who want some extra cargo space. Nevertheless, we'll focus on the more basic sedan trims. This electric sedan starts at $105,800 before destination, options, and other fees. It's powered by a single motor on the rear axle that makes 402 horsepower with the Performance Battery, or 409 hp with the Performance Battery Plus. It can sprint to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and reach 143 mph. As for range, the base model Taycan can drive 274 miles with the Performance battery, according to the EPA. It can also charge from 10% to 80% in about 18 minutes. Lucid Air The Lucid Air sits among the most luxurious EV sedans - especially when you reach its $249k Sapphire trim level. Even the three more basic trims are of premium quality, though. The base model, called the Air Pure, starts at $70,900, the Touring starts at $79,900, and the Grand Touring starts at $114,900 before destination. Horsepower ranges from 430 hp in the Pure to 819 hp in the Grand Touring; the Sapphire gets 1,234 hp to top the charts and beat the Dodge Challenger Demon 170 in a drag race. When fully charged, the Pure can drive up to 420 miles, but the best range is awarded to the Grand Touring, which can drive 512 miles without charging."...the Air pushes itself into a different league with the poise and grace of a full-size car. The standard adaptive suspension rides like it's floating on air (forgive the pun). It floats over bumps with minimal disruption, keeping the driver removed from discomfort without feeling too isolated - a trick few luxury sports sedans master to this extent."- Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-At-Large, CarBuzz BMW i7 BMW won't be left out of the luxury electric sedan game, so the automaker offers the i7 Sedan. As an all-electric version of its flagship 7 Series, buyers can only expect a heap of standard features, quality materials, and a smooth driving experience. There are a few versions to choose from; the base model i7 eDrive50 is rear-wheel drive and has 449 hp, while the xDrive60 has AWD with 536 hp. The most powerful version is the M70i, with 650 horsepower. The base model has the best range, though, at 314 miles, while the xDrive60 can go 311 miles, and the M70i has 285 miles of range. Prices range from $105,700 to $168,500."Any 7 Series is going to trigger all of the automotive journalist superlatives - cloud-like ride, buttery-smooth acceleration, you've heard them all - but the i7 takes things to the ultimate level of relaxation. The lack of a gasoline engine provides a near-perfect luxury experience since the i7 can get up to speed in near-silence, or you can choose to have the acceleration paired with one of several Iconic Sounds created by Hans Zimmer."- Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-At-Large, CarBuzz Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan Another model that fits in with the luxurious electric sedans on this list is the Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan. This electric luxury flagship sedan looks and feels like an S Class; it's full of standard comfort and convenience features, has a respectable amount of power, and feels quick enough. There are three trims available. The base model is the 450+, which starts at $99,900, then the 450 4Matic gets AWD for a base price of $102,900, and finally, the 580 4Matic starts at $123,900. The least expensive model can drive 390 miles on one charge, while th next two can make it 367 miles and 371 miles, respectively. The automaker may have temporarily discontinued this sedan last summer, but it's back with a lower entry price for the same great experience."Standard Airmatic Air Suspension with an Adaptive Dampening System delivers a cushy ride, though the EQS is prone to some odd secondary rebound, meaning it bounces back from a bump, then takes a moment to fully settle. Even with the larger 21-inch wheels, the suspension does a commendable job soaking up imperfections and softening them to a barely recognizable degree."- Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-At-Large, CarBuzz Mercedes-Benz EQE Sedan We're not the first to admit that the EQS sedan is pretty expensive, even with its recent price cut as it re-enters the U.S. market. However, buyers can still step into a luxurious all-electric Mercedes-Benz with the EQE sedan. This model is more accessible, but just as nice as any other E-Class. Buyers can choose between two trims; the EQE 320+ has 308 miles of range, can sprint to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, and starts at $64,950, while the 320 4Matic has AWD with 267 miles of range, a 0-60 mph sprint of 5.5 seconds, and it starts at $67,450. Audi A6 E-Tron Audi's contribution to the electric sedan market is marked on our list by the A6 E-Tron. This German automaker has a handful of EVs in its E-Tron lineup, including the E-Tron GT and its variants, but we chose to highlight the A6 for its more affordable entry price. It also offers a well-rounded experience with a host of luxury, comfort, and driver assist features. Audi's website already shows the 2027 model; this sedan starts at $66,700 before destination. It has 456 horsepower, can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds, and charges from 10% to 80% in 21 minutes. BMW i5 Most people probably aren't looking for a massive electric land yacht like the i7. Therefore, BMW offers an electric 5 series: the i5 sedan. It's smaller, lighter, and more agile while remaining a great example of BMW engineering. It's fairy quick in M60 guise with its 593 horsepower. For $84,100, you can sprint to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Those of you with a more reasonable budget might enjoy the base models, though. The eDrive40 starts at $67,100 and has 335 hp, while the xDrive40 has AWD with 389 hp and a 5.2-second 0-60 mph sprint."No matter which i5 you drive, it feels quicker than the average 5 Series in practice because the acceleration is immediate and doesn't require a turbo to spool or a transmission to shift gears."- Jared Rosenholtz, Editor-At-Large, CarBuzz Characteristics Of Electric Sedans Each type of car has its own inherent qualities that can work for or against its appeal. The best electric sedan should have more strengths than weaknesses, but these are the characteristics you can expect to find when you start looking to buy one. Pricing: In the past, going electric was prohibitive due to the high price of EV technology. However, that is no longer the insurmountable hurdle it once was. That said, they are still more expensive than their ICE counterparts, and this becomes very apparent on performance or luxury vehicles. Efficiency: The strongest selling point for any electric car, sedan or otherwise, is the huge savings you get on your traveling costs over the period of ownership. Since they run purely on electricity, you will never need to pay the high price of gas again. And, when it comes to smaller cars, such as sedans or hatches, the savings are amplified by their light weight. Practicality: While most top electric sedans still supply a decent amount of room in their back seats, they seldom win any favor when it comes to the trunk. Luckily, engineers have found more creative ways to store the larger batteries needed to power these cars, so they don’t need to sacrifice any additional rear seat or trunk space. However, even without this, a sedan will never come close to competing with a pickup or crossover when it comes to how much it can stow in the back. Charging and range: Few other body styles can match the impressive maximum range of an electric sedan and, in the USA, the number of charging stations available is equally astounding. Nevertheless, there are still not enough, especially in less urban areas, and it will still be some time before EVs can surpass gasoline-powered cars in terms of range to a “full tank.” This will likely only be a problem for particularly long trips, but having to wait for up to 45 minutes at a fast-charging station is still a hassle. What To Consider Before Buying An Electric Sedan Though there may be a wide range of electric sedans in 2026, many shoppers will still hesitate to buy them over a traditional ICE car or even a hybrid. This is because it takes several years to realize true savings on your monthly fuel fill over the higher initial price. Here are the pros and cons of buying/owning an electric sedan so that you can see if it’s the right choice for you right now. Pros They offer exceptional efficiency figures, which lead to huge savings in terms of cost of ownership They are becoming increasingly affordable as the technology becomes more widely accepted and utilized They are more aesthetically appealing than the traditional hatchback EVs we have been stuck with in the past Many models offer rapid acceleration Cons Though they may be more affordable than an electric SUV or sports car, they are still expensive in comparison to an ICE sedan Charging takes a lot longer than refueling a gas tank, and getting the requisite equipment for home charging can increase the overall cost The maximum range of EVs may be improving, with some manufacturers claiming more than 500 miles to a charge, but you can still travel further on gas Not every area has the necessary public infrastructure to support the large-scale adoption of EV technology Is an electric sedan really worth it? While EVs are becoming more affordable, they are still significantly more expensive than their gasoline-powered counterparts. That said, they are definitely worth it if you have the money. This is especially true if you take frequent short trips around town and have time to recharge in-between. Even a relatively cheap electric vehicle should have a range of around 300 miles to a full charge, while expensive models like the Lucid Air can approach or exceed 500 miles. Is an electric sedan safer? In the general sense of safety, EVs are no different from internal combustion vehicles. They are built in much the same way, which means structural integrity is almost identical. They may even be safer since they are often a little heavier than a regular car. This added weight leads to less internal force in the event of a crash. The fact that most electric vehicles get a veritable slew of advanced driver assists, even in their base configurations, is just an added bonus.Sources: Porsche, Lucid, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi
