Looking for the perfect used electric car for your family? We've curated a list of the top 10 best electric family cars for 2025. From spacious interiors to excellent battery ranges, these vehicles offer the perfect mix of comfort, practicality, and value for money.
Whether you're looking for a budget-friendly option or a premium electric vehicle, these family-friendly choices are sure to impress. Discover the top electric cars that can make your family's drives smoother, greener, and more enjoyable.
Volkswagen ID.3
The Volkswagen ID.3 hatchback is the successor to the e-Golf, which is still a worthy family EV. The ID.3 adds improved range, a modernised interior, and a spacious boot. It's also excellent to drive, balancing a sprightly feel with driver and passenger comfort. A choice of batteries can give you a range of up to 336 miles on a single charge.
Hyundai Kona Electric
The Hyundai Kona is a great car in all its forms, including petrol, diesel, and hybrid, but the Electric model stands out. It has distinctive looks and is very well-equipped. It's a practical family car (as long as you don't have more than two children), the interior tech is straightforward to use, and it feels responsive to drive.
A five-year factory warranty is better than those found on many rivals, meaning many secondhand examples will still be covered. Two battery choices are available, with either 180 miles or 281 miles of battery range.
Audi e-tron
The Audi e-tron is an excellent option for those looking for an electric SUV with a premium feel. Its well-made, high-tech interior is comfortable and inviting for the driver and passengers, with enough space for three adults in the back. A full battery charge will give you around 250 miles of range—plenty for everyday use.
Kia e-Niro
The Kia e-Niro is one of the best electric family cars around. It's roomy inside but compact enough to park easily, plus it comes well-equipped with features and offers excellent value for money.
Like every Kia, it comes with a seven-year warranty from new, which means many used cars will still be covered, while battery range comes in at 280 miles on a single battery charge. For the best deal, we recommend the first-generation e-Niro sold before 2022. A new, sleeker version was released that same year, but there are fewer of them available on the used market.
MG ZS EV
The MG ZS EV is a small SUV that costs remarkably less than its petrol-powered rivals, let alone more expensive pure-electric models. Although some are more luxurious and better to drive, the ZS EV does the basics brilliantly and offers a roomy and comfortable interior.
The official range for pre-2021 models is 163 miles, though post-2021 models have an increased range of up to 273 miles, depending on whether you choose the standard or long-range model.
MG5 EV
The MG5 EV is an electric estate car that provides a unique blend of practicality and affordability. Its large, well-shaped boot will swallow up the bits and bobs of family life without a fuss.
The MG5 EV is comfortable to travel in, with a simple dashboard and spacious interior. The official battery range is between 213 and 250 miles, depending on your chosen model. We recommend searching for a model with some of MG's seven-year manufacturer remaining to get the best deal.
Nissan Leaf
The Nissan Leaf was the first family electric car to reach the UK and remains among the best picks. Older Leafs, sold between 2011 and 2018, offer up to 155 miles on a single charge, have plenty of space inside for family adventures, and can be found at incredibly low prices.
The newer model, sold from 2018, offers more passenger space, a higher-quality interior, and an increased battery range of up to 239 miles.
Tesla Model 3
The Tesla Model 3 is the smallest Tesla on sale, but that doesn't make it any less impressive than its bigger siblings. It's one of the best electric cars on the market, making it a tremendous second-hand pick.
The Model 3 is packed with incredible technology and features, while its battery range is among the best in its class—most will cover more than 300 miles on a full charge.
Skoda Enyaq iV
The Skoda Enyaq iV is a brilliant all-rounder. It offers a spacious cabin, a boot big enough to handle whatever you throw at it, and up to 338 miles of range on a single charge.
The Enyaq is also great to drive, and passengers will enjoy the comfortable interior and the various cubby holes for storing bits and pieces.
Mercedes-Benz EQC
The Mercedes-Benz EQC is another top pick for those looking for a premium electric SUV. Perfectly sized for a family, it feels premium inside and out and is packed with neat technology and safety features.
The rear seats offer plenty of room for passengers, and while the boot isn't as big as some rivals', it's more than capable of carrying all the luggage you'd need for a family getaway. In terms of range, a full battery charge will take you up to 255 miles.
