Here are 10 electric coupe crossovers on sale now or in the near future

Audi’s first ground-up electric SUV, the Q4 e-tron, spawned a coupeified variant back in 2020, as the trend for sportier coupe crossovers started to gather momentum. No, we’re not sure why either.

At time of writing, it’s available in four flavours: the 40 Sportback (2WD, 59kWh battery, 201bhp, 257 miles), the 45 Sportback (2WD, 77kWh battery, 282bhp motor, 351 miles), the 45 quattro (4WD, 77kWh battery, 282bhp, 327 miles), and the 55 quattro (4WD, 77kWh battery, 335bhp, 327 miles).

As ever with coupeified crossovers, it sacrifices a little headroom and bootspace in favour of style compared to its full-size SUV sibling, while you can expect to pay around £1.5k extra.

Skoda’s five-seat electric SUV has won plenty of plaudits for its affordability, practicality, and family friendliness (not least from us), so it was only natural that a coupeified variant would follow.

The Enyaq Coupe iV 80 gets a 201bhp electric motor powering the front wheels and 77kWh battery for an all-electric range of up to 345 miles, while the 80x model gets a dual motor 261bhp set-up for four-wheel drive and the same-sized battery for up to 322 miles of electric range.

The bigger news, however, is that there’s also a vRS variant, which gets an increased 295bhp (up 34bhp), 0-62mph time of 6.4secs (down half a second), top speed of 111mph (up 12mph) and range of 325 miles (up three miles). Plus a sportier bodykit and 15/10mm lower ride height front/rear.

But does it deserve the vRS badge? We tried living with one for a couple of months to find out, which you can read all about by clicking these words.

Volkswagen’s ID.5 shares the same footprint as the ID.4 upon which it is based, but like the Audi and Skoda with which it shares a platform, it also gets an ultimately less practical coupe-like roofline.

Entry-level ID.5s offer up to 226 miles of range courtesy of a 52kWh usable battery and 168bhp rear electric motor. Mid-range models offer up to 344 miles of range thanks to a bigger 77kWh battery and also boast a more powerful 282bhp rear motor, while the range-topping GTX claims up to 327 miles and gets the bigger battery but outputs 335bhp courtesy of its dual motors.

Which means performance wise, there’s also little difference between it and its group siblings. Well worth test driving all three, then, as well as reading our words, before deciding which is for you.

Volvo’s EC40 (formerly known as the C40 Recharge) sits on the same CMA platform as the EX40 (formerly the XC40 Recharge). While head on it looks pretty much identical to its sibling, round the back there’s the small matter of that coupefied roofline.

It comes with three powertrain options, a 235bhp single motor paired with a 70kWh battery for up to 300 miles of range, a 249bhp single motor paired with an 80kWh battery for up to 358 miles of range, or the perkier 402bhp twin motor set-up mated to an 80kWh battery for 340 miles of range. Those powertrain options are also identical to those you’ll find in the EX40, only here you get slightly more range thanks to that aero-friendly rakish rear.

It’s certainly smartly packaged and that theme continues inside, where you also get Volvo’s excellent Google Android-based infotainment system. But is it worth the extra cash over a Polestar 2?

Like the look of the Q4 Sportback e-tron, but need something bigger for your growing family? Enter the Q6 Sportback e-tron, a coupeified variant of its Q6 e-tron crossover namesake. 

It’s also now the biggest Audi you can buy in this style, with the Q8 Sportback e-tron discontinued. It’s available with three powertrain options: entry-level versions get a 75.8kWh battery mated to a rear 282bhp motor for an electric range of up to 334 miles, mid-range versions get a bigger 94.9kWh battery paired with a 302bhp electric motor for an electric range of 406 miles, while top of the line models get a 383bhp dual motor setup, 94.9kWh battery, and a claimed 392-mile range.

Audi’s newest electric SUV coupe doesn’t come cheap mind, starting from £63,230. Heck of a lot of money when you can get yourself into a new ‘leccy Porsche Macan for about £5k more…

Genesis’ GV60 is based on the same platform as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, but shouts loudest and proudest about its “athletic coupe crossover design”, which is why we’ve included it in this list.

In case you’re unaware, Genesis is the posh branch of the Hyundai Motor Group, and the GV60 is its first fully fledged EV – and arguably its best car yet. It’s available in rear or all-wheel drive configurations, with the former getting a 77kWh battery, 226bhp electric motor for up to 321 miles of range, and the latter the same battery, 314/483bhp and 292/290 miles of range respectively.

But wait, there’s more, because the GV60 also gets a dedicated drift mode, similar to that you find in a Golf R. Because that’s exactly what your two-tonne electric car needed, right?

“The Nissan Ariya electric coupe crossover marks a new chapter for Nissan electric vehicles,” read the press release upon the Ariya’s arrival back in 2020. Where the line starts and ends between a regular crossover and a coupe crossover is anyone’s guess.

Still, it wears a clean and simple design, and is available in two-wheel drive (214bhp/63kWh battery/251-mile range, 239bhp/87kWh/330-mile range) or all-wheel drive specifications (302bhp/87kWh battery/319-mile range, 429bhp/87kWh/261-mile range). That latter version gets the full Nismo treatment too. Click the blue words below to find out which is best.

Will it go on to be a success a la Nissan Leaf? There’s certainly more competition these days, which means it’ll need to rely on its looks more than ever. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll likely either love it or hate it. We’ll let you know how it does in a decade’s time…

We first saw the Cupra Tavascan concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2019, before a full production version was subsequently unveiled in all its glory – and it’s certainly not shy. Just look at it.

A close sibling to the ID.5 and based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, the entry 2WD variant offers up 351 miles of range courtesy of a 77kWh battery and 282bhp rear electric motor, while the range-topping model claims up to 326 miles and a 0-62mph time of 5.6secs courtesy of its 335bhp dual motor, 4WD setup.

Of course, sporty is Cupra’s forte, so the Tavascan gets adaptive suspension, 21-inch forged alloys and a racier interior. And based on our experience, it ain’t too shabby, either…

The Polestar 4 is an electric coupe crossover with a difference. And a controversial one at that… because it doesn’t have a rear window. Er, come again? 

There’s method in the madness. Polestar claims that to maximise rear headroom, the ‘header structure’ stretches behind backseat passengers. Putting in a glass window would have been pointless, because the driver wouldn’t have been able to see out of it. Instead, the view rearwards is created by a pair of digital cameras that feed images into the rearview mirror.

The two-wheel drive version claims up 385 miles of range thanks to a 94kWh battery and 268bhp rear electric motor, while the dual-motor gets a hefty 536bhp and all-wheel drive, although range drops to 367 miles.

Smart’s second new electric car, confusingly called #3, joined the electric coupe crossover party in 2024. Because there ain’t no party like a coupe crossover party. Ah, doesn’t quite roll off the tongue like it did in our heads…

And a small city car it isn’t. It follows the same design language as the Smart #1 – and indeed sits on the same Geely-derived platform – although the #3 gets a longer wheelbase to maximise interior space, and to presumably compensate for that rakish bodyshape.

You’ve a few versions to pick between: the entry Pro (2WD, 268bhp, 49kWh battery, 202 miles), the Pro+ (2WD, 268bhp, 66kWh battery, 270 miles), the Premium (2WD, 268bhp, 66kWh battery, 283 miles), or the Brabus (4WD, 422bhp, 66kWh battery, 258 miles). Got it?
