The mid-sized electric SUVs with the longest range in Australia

The mid-sized SUV segment is one of the most saturated in Australia, and there are more options entering the market seemingly every month.

Most are still petrol- or hybrid-powered, the latter of which are dominating the sales charts thanks to SUVs like the Toyota RAV4, or the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with its petrol-only options also available.

Even so, loads of competitors continue to arrive from Australia, and most are targeting the electric vehicle (EV) space to tackle the likes of the

Our range measurements are all based on the WLTP testing cycle, which is the most current standard for electric vehicle range and provides reliable consistency between each of the 17 cars listed below.

We’ve omitted claimed energy consumption, as specifications published by each brand varies in its level of detail and is often presented based on varying test cycles like the less-accurate NEDC system.

Most of these vehicles have been compiled based on the medium SUV category on the VFACTS sales charts.

Because because some brands don’t report their sales to VFACTS or haven’t been on ***** long enough to record representative figures, we’ve also filled in some gaps with the likes of Tesla, Polestar and Deepal.

Camera IconQ6 e-tron Sportback Credit: CarExpert

That’s the claim for the Q6 e-tron performance, while range decreases to 625km in the e-tron quattro as the next model in the range. We’ve also included the performance-oriented SQ6 e-tron in this list, which is claimed to be capable of travelling 528km on a charge.

You’ll notice power and torque outputs increase as range decreases, which is to be expected given all three models are powered by the same 100kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Only the base is rear-wheel drive, while the rest are all-wheel drive.

The Q6 e-tron range starts at $115,500 before on-roads and reaches to $151,400 before on-roads for the the top-spec SQ6. As is typical for Volkswagen Group products, the Q6 e-tron shares its 800V architecture with the new EV-only

Range decreases as you move up the range, though at the same time power increases. Like the Audi, only the Macan’s base-spec variant is rear-wheel drive alongside its three all-wheel drive siblings.

All variants use the same 100kWh lithium-ion battery pack as the Q6 e-tron and is capable of fast charging at the same maximum DC rate of 270kW.

The Macan Electric ranges in price from $128,400 to $184,400 before on-road costs.

Moving up to the Long range Dual motor adds a second motor on the front axle, boosts peak power to 400kW, and cuts range to 590km.

Both variants are powered by the same 100kWh nickel manganese cobalt battery and can charge at up to 200kW DC. Each are priced at $81,500 and $93,050 before on-road costs respectively.

The top-spec G6 Long Range is wears that lengthy claim, while the base G6 Standard Range instead posts a modest 435km figure. Both are rear-wheel drive.

Batteries differ between the two models, with the base Standard Range getting a 66.0kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack and the Long Range swapping that out for an 87.5kWh nickel manganese cobalt unit.

Power outputs differ slightly between the two models too, and so does maximum DC charging speed. The two variants cost $54,800 before on-roads and $59,800 before on-roads respectively.
