Electric vehicles, or EVs, had their best-selling year in 2022. Their market share surpassed 5% according to Edmunds data, which is nearly double than 2021. In 2023, EV sales should continue to soar. But more importantly for consumers, there will also be a larger selection of models to choose from, including electric sedans, SUVs and luxury models. Here are five of the most intriguing new EVs, sorted by price, rolling into dealerships this year, according to Edmunds.

2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV 

Chevrolet will launch two electric SUVs with familiar names: the Blazer EV and the Equinox EV. Of the two, the smaller Equinox could be the more significant simply by virtue of its price; Chevrolet estimates it will start around $30,000. That undercuts all of its rivals and is not much more than the gas-powered Equinox, with which it has nothing in common but size.

For that low price, the Equinox EV provides an estimated 250 miles of range, which should be suitable for many EV shoppers. Chevy will also offer a larger battery pack that gets about 300 miles and a more robust 290-horsepower powertrain with all-wheel drive. If you enjoy technology, then you’ll be pleased to know that the Equinox EV will offer an optional massive 17.7-inch center touchscreen display. You can also add Super Cruise, General Motors’ hands-free highway driving assist system.

2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6

The Ioniq 6 will stand out from everything else on the road when it hits the streets later this year. It’s an electric sedan from Hyundai that sports a futuristic, low-slung design. Unlike most electric vehicles that are SUVs, the Ioniq 6 is one of the few non-luxury electric sedans that will compete with the Tesla Model 3.

When released, Hyundai’s Ioniq 6 will offer a 225-horsepower rear-wheel-drive model that has an outstanding estimated driving range of up to 361 miles.

It’s closely related to the Ioniq 5 SUV, sharing most of its componentry. When released, the Ioniq 6 will offer a 225-horsepower rear-wheel-drive model that has an outstanding estimated driving range of up to 361 miles. The more powerful 320-horsepower all-wheel-drive model is rated at 316 miles. Compatibility with the most powerful DC fast-charging stations, for superquick charging, will be another draw for this upcoming EV.

Starting price: $42,715
Launch date: Spring 2023

2023 Mercedes EQE SUV

The EQE SUV is one of Mercedes’ latest all-electric models. It’s based on Mercedes’ EQE sedan and is about the size of the gas-powered GLE SUV. The EQE SUV is smaller than the EQS SUV, and when it hits dealerships, it will compete with the Audi e-tron and BMW iX.

Driving range estimates have yet to be released, but Edmunds expects the most efficient EQE 350+ model to have a range of more than 300 miles. The EQE will also offer a more powerful 536-horsepower EQE 500 model, and a 617-horsepower AMG performance model down the line. As with the EQS models, the EQE will offer Mercedes’ massive Hyperscreen, which consists of three screens spanning the width of the dashboard.

Estimated starting price: $79,050
Launch date: Spring 2023

2023 BMW i7

The large and luxurious BMW i7 is the all-electric equivalent to the completely redesigned 7 Series sedan. The brand’s most expensive electric car goes toe-to-toe with its Mercedes equivalent, the EQS sedan, and the Tesla Model S.

With a starting price of $120,295, the large and luxurious BMW i7 is the brand’s most expensive electric car and goes toe-to-toe with its Mercedes equivalent, the EQS sedan, and the Tesla Model S.

The i7’s estimated driving range of 296-318 miles is less than most of its rivals but more than the Porsche Taycan. If that sounds disappointing, don’t worry — the BMW packs a potent 536-horsepower electric powertrain and offers very impressive tech features such as the optional 31.3-inch screen for rear passengers that slides down from the ceiling and power front and rear doors that fully open and close with a push of a button.

Starting price: $120,295
