2024 GMC Acadia.
There's big news for the 2024 GMC Acadia, both literally and figuratively. From nose to tail, it's 10.6 inches longer than the 2023 model, with most of that made up by its wheelbase (the distance between the front and rear wheels).
2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV.
At present, the three-row Kia EV9 is the closest competitor to the Blazer EV. Most other electric SUVs are smaller, but the list of larger models arriving over the next two years is growing.
2024 Hyundai Kona.
The Kona has some pretty staunch rivals, including the Honda HR-V, which has a roomy interior and a more premium look and feel. The Kia Seltos has similar fun styling and engine options, but its touchscreens (8- to 10.25 inches depending on trim level) are smaller than the Kona's display.
2024 Audi SQ8 e tron.
The SQ8 e-tron has few true rivals. The Tesla Model X Plaid, which costs just over $94,000, offers longer range and way more speed but is less comfortable and luxurious.
2024 Nissan Ariya.
With this in mind, the 2024 Nissan Ariya could easily hold its own against the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Ford Mustang Mach-E. Thanks to a significant price drop this year, the Ariya is now in line with these competitors' pricing. None of these are eligible for the lucrative tax credits unless you lease them, so we suggest checking all of them out to see which appeals to you the most. Depending on which model you select, you can expect at least 205 miles of driving range on a single charge — enough for city-bound drivers. The Venture+ variant has the longest range, 304 miles, but its slow charge rate might require some planning when taking road trips. That said, it's not oppressively slow and in the best-case scenario would take only 10 or 15 minutes more than some of its rivals. When you consider how rare those quicker DC fast chargers are and how seldom they're operating at capacity, this drawback is far less impactful. Nissan was quick to get into the electric vehicle game with the small Leaf hatchback in 2011, but the automaker didn't add new EV models until the all-electric Nissan Ariya SUV debuted in 2023 Nissan was quick to get into the electric vehicle game with the small Leaf hatchback in 2011, but the automaker didn't add new EV models until the all-electric Nissan Ariya SUV debuted in 2023The 2024 Nissan Ariya is similar in size to the Rogue compact SUV, though the Rogue has slightly more passenger space in some metrics and benefits from a larger cargo capacity.
2024 Kia Sportage.
While Kia is not considered a luxury brand, the Sportage features a premium interior that feels like it belongs in a more expensive vehicle. Quality materials and a clean design give it a high-end feel, and the available large, curved dashboard display screen adds a high-tech vibe. The 2024 Kia Sportage offers three different powertrains, including a hybrid and plug-in hybrid system. All offer good fuel efficiency, and the plug-in hybrid can provide an estimated 34 miles of electric-only driving range. It's been almost 30 years since Kia introduced the Sportage to the American market, making it the longest-lasting nameplate for the Korean brand. Fast forward to 2023, when Kia introduced the fifth generation of this small crossover SUV. Not only is the current Sportage the largest the company has ever offered, but it also features a stylish exterior design specific to the brand's SUV lineup. We expect to see this new look carry through to other models in the future.The Sportage is more than 7 inches longer than the previous generation, which translates to a much roomier interior. Both front and rear seat passengers will find good headroom and legroom with space to spread out, and there's plenty of cargo space for luggage or party-sized grocery bags.While Kia is not considered a luxury brand, the Sportage features a premium interior that feels like it belongs in a more expensive vehicle.
