The premium electric SUV segment has never been more competitive in Quebec. Five brands offer credible models at prices ranging from $74,033 to $110,000. To build this top 5, we compared NRCan-rated range, charging speed, space and each contender’s equipment value.
Top 5 best 2026-2027 luxury electric SUVs
Each premium electric SUV in this ranking was selected for a specific strength, from a 7-seat luxury electric SUV to the most accessible model, to help you identify the best 2026 luxury electric SUV as well as the best 2027 luxury electric SUV. Here is why each one earns its spot in this list.
2027 Audi Q6 e-tron
Positioned as the most tech-forward upscale electric SUV in the group, the Q6 e-tron relies on a 800-volt platform: 523 km of NRCan range with 19-inch wheels and 10 to 80 % charge in 21 minutes (up to 270 kW). The spec sheet for the 2027 Audi Q6 e-tron shows 456 horsepower in overboost and standard quattro all-wheel drive, plus cargo space that ranges from 855 L to 1,705 L. The only real limitation: no third row.
One of the reasons why it is at the very top of this list is because none of its rivals can charge this fast at this price. Even the Genesis Electrified GV70 at 350 kW needs 19 minutes for a smaller range gain due to its smaller battery.

2026 BMW iX
The 2026 iX plays the long-distance card: 402 horsepower and 502 km for the xDrive45 trim, up to 586 km for the xDrive60 trim at $94,900. A lounge-like cabin with a curved display makes it the most relaxing of the group on Highway 15 on a Friday night.
Charging plateaus at 175 kW in the base trim, far from the Audi’s 270 kW. Few luxury electric SUVs can handle a Montreal to Quebec round trip without a charging stop. This one can. But you will have to plan for roughly $6,000 more for every consecutive trim, which quickly brings the total past $100,000 with few options.

Cadillac Lyriq
At $74,033, the Lyriq is the entry point to the segment, and the 33-inch curved screen remains the largest in the category. Range reaches 525 km in RWD (513 km with AWD) and 190-kW charging can add up to 138 km in 10 minutes. It is also the only one in the group to offer up to 615 horsepower in the V trim.
Its limitation: a Google-based interface rather than native wireless CarPlay, which does not suit all owners. With comparable equipment, the price gap with the BMW iX exceeds $14,000, enough to cover several years of home charging.

Volvo EX90
The only true 7-seat luxury electric SUV in the ranking, the EX90 includes LiDAR and delivers 499 km of NRCan range. Its main limitation is availability. Built in the United States, it is not imported to Canada for the 2026 model year due to counter-tariffs, which limits supply to 2025 units in inventory or those on the pre-owned market.
At a base price of $110,000, it targets families that refuse any compromise on safety. Soundproofing and well-supported seats also make it the most relaxing of the group on long trips.

Genesis GV70
The 2026 Electrified GV70 is the outsider: 429 horsepower (483 in Boost mode), an 84-kWh battery and, especially, 350-kW charging that takes 10 to 80 percent in 19 minutes, a time worthy of vehicles priced twice as high.
GENESIS adds 5 years of complimentary maintenance and a valet service. Its Achilles’ heel: about 402 km of range, the shortest of the top 5, which imposes a stop on a Montreal to Gaspé trip. Compared with the Q6 e-tron, it offers around 120 km less range but counters with a roughly $2,500 lower starting price.
