The Ioniq 7 is expected to have a range of over 300 miles per charge, but since the production form has yet to be shown, the exact details will have to wait to be seen.

The main goal that executives are striving to achieve is to add AI into the software of the ES8, allowing the car to become a level 3 autonomous driving car or higher.

It just depends on who perfects the technology first.

13 Lucid Gravity

Starting MSRP: $120,000

The Lucid Gravity is a seven-seat luxury SUV that is slated to be placed on the market in the early part of 2024. The upstart company has not mentioned a starting price tag, or if there will be any trim levels other than the base model available, so you will just have to sit back and wait to find out.

Lucid Gravity Specifications

The company does promise that the only vehicle currently on the market that will be able to match the range of the new SUV will be its own Lucid Air, which can achieve up to 516 miles. Of course, that is if the Gravity is driven calmly, but with a car that can shoot from 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds, that probably will not happen very often. The best thing is that the people at Lucid have teased the fact that the Lucid Gravity will be similar to the Air, with improvements that they have discovered since it was first produced.

14 Volkswagen ID. Buzz

Starting MSRP: $40,000

15 Citreon e-Space Tourer

Starting MSRP: $47,703

It was first introduced to the market at the end of the 20th century as a people carrier and has continued along those lines ever since. The current model for 2023 can easily haul up to nine people, giving you three full rows of seats, all loaded with comfort and tech.

Citreon e-Space Tourer Specifications

The e-Space Tourer offers you three driving modes, two energy recovery modes, and a range of around 150 miles or so. Not much when considering what the other SUVs on this list can achieve, but the Citreon was not designed for long road trips. Instead, the Citreon was engineered more to haul several people from point A to point B within a reasonably short distance. For example, transporting workers from one plant to another within the same city.
