Which EV for the family?

Five candidates side by side: cost, range, battery size, cargo space, passenger space and towing. All-wheel drive, except the Lucid Air Pure, which is rear-wheel drive only. Four are 2024 models priced used. The Kia EV3 is a 2027 model because it only reached U.S. dealers in 2026, so it is priced new.

Trim choices. GT-Line for the EV6 and EV3, SEL for the Ioniq 5 and 6, all with all-wheel drive. The Lucid Air Pure is the exception. It is rear-wheel drive only, so it is shown with its 19″ wheels. The Ioniq 5 XRT is left out because it did not exist until the 2025 model year.
Cost. The big number is an average used asking price from listing sites in November 2026. The small number is the original 2024 sticker price. Used figures come from the first page of listings (the Lucid, EV6 and Ioniq 6) or the site's trim average (the Ioniq 5), and the Kia and Hyundai figures mix drive types, so treat them as rough. The Lucid MSRP is the price after Lucid's cut; it launched at $78,900.
Kia EV3. It went on sale in the U.S. in August 2026, so there is no used market to average. The price shown is the new GT-Line sticker price from Electrek.
Range is the EPA estimate for the all-wheel-drive version. Rear-wheel-drive versions go farther, so the Lucid's range is not a like-for-like comparison.
Towing is the maximum braked trailer weight. Confirm the exact rating for any specific car before towing anything.
Passenger space is interior passenger volume in cubic feet. Cargo is measured with the rear seats up unless noted.
