Electric SUVs are riding high on a wave of popularity at the moment and because of this, there’s a great variety to choose from in the used market.
They offer practicality, ultra-low running costs with zero tailpipe emissions, as well as a decent level of standard equipment. Plus, with battery technology improving, they should be easier to live with.
However, if you’re looking at the second-hand market, and you’re in the market for an electric SUV, which ones should you consider buying? What’s their real-world electric range? Will they fit into your busy lifestyle?
In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the best second-hand SUVs on the market today and they're all available on Cazoo today.
Skoda Enyaq
One of the best electric SUV offerings comes from Skoda with the Enyaq.
For many families, the Enyaq could just be the perfect car as it comes with loads of interior space, has clever storage features, is good to drive and features lots of standard equipment.
There is a range of battery packs, with the entry-level 62kWh and single electric motor providing a claimed 256 miles on a single charge, or a larger 82kWh unit that can be specified with a dual-motor four-wheel drive setup that gives a claimed range of 358 miles.
Prices start from just over £15,000 for a 62kWh example with around 40,000 miles on the clock or £19,000 for an 82kWh car.

Hyundai Kona Electric
The Kona Electric is a small electric SUV that hits all the right spots when it comes to family motoring.
It looks good, is decent to drive, has a well-made interior and offers a decent electric range from its choice of battery packs.
The former is a 39kWh unit with a single electric motor that can do a claimed 189 miles on a single charge, and the latter is a 64kWh variant that can travel up to a claimed 300 miles.
Second-hand prices vary depending on the condition and mileage, but a smaller 39kWh car with 40,000 miles on its odometer can be had for £10,100 or a 64kWh example for around £11,800.

Hyundai Kona Electric
The Kona is a great small family SUV, but put a battery pack in it and it becomes even better.
It’s good to drive, is very smooth and comes packed full of technology, which should help keep kids entertained on a long journey.
Also, with limited body lean around the bends, the Kona Electric feels a lot more composed than other SUVs at higher speeds.
Powering the car, there is a choice of a 39kWh or a large 64kWh battery pack and electric motor. The latter model is the more desirable option as it gives you a claimed range of up to 279 miles.
Used examples vary in price as the Kona Electric has been around since 2018. However, if you can find yourself a low-mileage car from 2021 or 2022, expect to pay around £13,000 for a 64kWh model or just £11,000 for the smaller 39kWh battery pack car.

Tesla Model 3
Regarded as one of the world’s best-selling EVs, the Tesla Model 3 has proven to be one of the most popular choices in the UK.
Not only is it good to drive, but it comes with a great amount of interior space and standard equipment.
There are a variety of different battery options, but the Long Range 75kWh unit with either the single electric motor or dual motor with all-wheel-drive is the better choice.
The car will do a claimed 421 miles or 340 miles in the real world, which is still impressive.
Second-hand cars are priced at £20,000 for an all-wheel-drive Long Range model with less than 35,000 miles on the odometer.

Mini Electric
If you want to go electric, but don’t want to fork out lots of cash on a fun car, look no further than the Mini Electric.
At first glance, it looks almost identical to the standard car, with the exception of no front grille and some subtle design details.
You still get razor-sharp handling, little body roll around the bends and a futuristic and funky interior.
Under the bonnet, there is a 32.6kWh battery pack and electric motor that Mini claims can do 145 miles on a single charge. But, in the real world, expect to get around 100 miles, which isn’t great if you’re planning on doing long trips; however, for town use, it’s more than acceptable.
If you want a second-hand one, look to spend around £11,000 for a 2022 car with 25,000 miles on the clock.
MG5
Need an estate, but want an EV? MG might have the answer with the MG5, which is one of the very few family wagons available with an electric powertrain.
The MG5 offers up to 578 litres of boot space or 1,367 litres with the rear seats folded down, making it a very practical proposition.
Under the bonnet, there is a 61kWh battery pack and electric motor that MG claims can travel up to 249 miles on a single charge.
Prices on the used market start at around £10,500 for a pre-facelift example, or £15,000 for a 2023 facelift model, which features a redesigned front end and updated interior.
Nissan Leaf
The trailblazer of the electric vehicle is the Nissan Leaf, ever since the original was launched in 2011.
This latest model has been around since 2018 and there is a new third-generation car on the way.
However, that means that used prices are even more attractive than ever.
It’s powered by an electric motor with the choice of 39kWh or 59kWh battery packs, with the latter managing a claimed 239 miles between trips to the plug.
Used prices start at around £12,500 for a N-Connecta model with 32,000 miles on the clock, or £9,500 for a smaller 39kWh car.

Hyundai Ioniq 5
Hyundai has become a brand that produces some of the most engaging EVs on the planet and the Ioniq 5 is a great example of that status.
Its excellent driving experience, masses of interior space and futuristic looks make this an almost complete package.
The car can be equipped with the choice of a 58kWh or larger 73kWh battery pack and electric motor, with the latter option managing a claimed 298 miles between trips to the plug.
There are plenty of second-hand examples of Ioniq 5 on the used market with an early 2021 car now priced from £17,000 for the smaller battery pack or £18,000 for a 73kWh car.

Volkswagen E-Golf
If you want an EV that looks almost the same as a traditional petrol or diesel car, then how about the Volkswagen E-Golf.
The exterior of the car looks identical to the standard Golf, with the lack of a front grille. You still get a practical five-door body style, a decent-sized boot and plenty of interior space.
The E-Golf comes equipped with a 35.8kWh battery pack and electric motor that the German manufacturer says can do a claimed 186 miles on a single charge.
Second-hand prices are more than affordable with 2018 cars with 35,000 miles on the clock up for just £9,000 – making the car represent excellent value for money.

BMW i3
BMW has always had a premium and sporty image, and the i3 was one of its very first electric cars.
With its carbon fibre tub chassis, suicide rear doors and narrow body, the i3 still looks fresh even after a decade.
You can even get a sporty ‘S’ variant, which gives you more performance and tweaked suspension.
However, the standard car is more than peppy enough, with it featuring a 42.2kWh battery pack and electric motor that gives the car a claimed range of 190 miles.
If you want a second-hand example, look to spend around £11,000 for a 2021 car with 30,000 miles on the clock.
