Range remains one of the biggest talking points when it comes to electric cars. While charging infrastructure continues to improve across the UK, many drivers still want the reassurance of being able to travel further without needing to stop and recharge.
As the range of new EVs continues to rise, there’s now a long line-up of electric cars on sale that can travel more than 400 miles on just a single charge (according to WLTP testing).
So, if you’re considering an EV in 2026, there’s now more choice than ever. Read on to discover the longest range electric cars available in the UK.
12. Citroën e-C5 Aircross Long Range
The Citroën e-C5 Aircross Long Range stands out as one of the most affordable ways to access over 400 miles of range. With a 97kWh battery and a WLTP figure of 421 miles, it offers impressive capability for a family SUV.
One key advantage is its eligibility for the UK’s electric car grant, helping bring the price down significantly. While real-world range will likely be lower than the official figure, even a conservative estimate would make it a highly usable long-distance EV. Add in a comfortable ride and practical interior, and it’s a great all-round option.
11. Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S
The Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S is a strong contender in the long-range EV space, offering up to 434 miles of WLTP range from its 86kWh battery.
As Volkswagen’s flagship electric saloon, the ID.7 focuses heavily on efficiency. Its streamlined, coupe-like shape helps reduce drag, which plays a key role in maximising range on longer journeys. There’s also a smaller battery ‘Pro’ version available, but it’s the Pro S that delivers the headline figures.
10. Peugeot E-3008 Long Range
Built on similar underpinnings as the Citroën e-C5, the Peugeot E-3008 Long Range pushes range slightly further to 435 miles using the same 97kWh battery.
It offers bold styling and decent equipment levels, but at a noticeably higher price point. Efficiency can vary in real-world conditions, and some features – such as a heat pump – may need to be added as options to get the best out of the car, particularly in colder weather.
9. Volvo ES90 Twin Motor
The Volvo ES90 Twin Motor blends saloon styling with hatchback practicality, delivering a WLTP range of 435 miles from a 102kWh battery.
Inside, it offers the premium feel you’d expect from Volvo, along with a smooth, refined driving experience thanks to standard air suspension. Rapid charging capability also makes it well-suited to longer journeys, even if outright practicality isn’t its strongest suit.
8. MG IM5 Long Range
The MG IM5 Long Range is one of the more surprising entries on this list, delivering up to 441 miles of range.
Developed with a focus on technology and design, it represents a step up from traditional MG offerings. Fast charging speeds and strong performance figures add to its appeal, making it a compelling option for drivers looking for something a little different.
7. Audi A6 e-tron Sportback Performance
The Audi A6 e-tron Sportback combines sleek design with long-distance capability, offering up to 464 miles of WLTP range.
It strikes a balance between driving enjoyment and everyday usability, with fast charging and a premium interior to match. Its hatchback-style practicality also makes it more versatile than a traditional saloon.
6. DS No8 Long Range
The DS No8 Long Range delivers 466 miles of range while taking a more comfort-focused approach.
With distinctive styling and a smooth driving experience, it offers a different take on the premium EV market. Charging speeds are slightly behind some rivals, but its emphasis on refinement and design will appeal to many drivers.
5. Tesla Model 3 Long Range
The Tesla Model 3 Long Range proves that efficiency can be just as important as battery size. Despite a smaller 75kWh battery, it matches some larger rivals with a range of up to 466 miles.
Tesla’s well-established Supercharger network also adds to its usability, making long-distance travel straightforward. It remains one of the most efficient EVs currently on sale.
4. Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+
The Mercedes-Benz EQS 450+ takes a more traditional approach to achieving long range, using a huge 118kWh battery to deliver up to 481 miles.
As a flagship luxury EV, it focuses on comfort, refinement and cutting-edge technology. While charging times are longer due to the battery size, its ability to cover serious distances in one go is undeniable.
3. Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+
In contrast, the Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ achieves even greater range through efficiency rather than battery size, delivering up to 484 miles from a smaller 85kWh pack.
Drawing on technology from Mercedes’ concept vehicles, it demonstrates how smart engineering can unlock exceptional range without the need for oversized batteries. Fast charging capability further enhances its appeal.
2. BMW iX3 xDrive50
The BMW iX3 xDrive50 represents a major leap forward for BMW’s EV technology, reaching a claimed 500 miles of range.
With improved battery efficiency and rapid charging speeds, it sets a new standard for electric SUVs. It also showcases BMW’s latest design and technology direction.
1. Volvo EX60 P12 AWD
At the top of the list is the Volvo EX60, offering a massive 503 miles of WLTP range.
This all-electric counterpart to the popular XC60 showcases Volvo’s latest EV technology. In its top-spec all-wheel drive form, it uses a large 117kWh battery with a ‘cell-to-body’ design, helping reduce weight while improving efficiency.
It also benefits from an 800V electrical architecture, enabling ultra-rapid charging, adding a significant amount of range in a short time when plugged into a high-powered charger. Combined with strong performance and Volvo’s focus on safety and comfort, the EX60 sets a new benchmark for long-range electric SUVs.
Coming soon…
Looking ahead, there's still lots of exciting new cars to be released in 2026, and the upcoming BMW i3 Neue Klasse is expected to push boundaries even further. Early figures suggest a potential WLTP range of up to 559 miles, which would make it the new range leader when it arrives.
