In MotorTrend’s 2023 ranking, the Chevrolet Bolt EUV had the lowest displayed starting price, at $28,795, followed by the Hyundai Kona Electric at $34,885. These are historical starting figures—not current dealer prices or guaranteed out-the-door costs. The list is useful for comparing the models as presented in 2023, but a buyer’s actual price depended on trim, destination charges, incentives, location, and timing.

The table follows MotorTrend’s displayed starting-price order. The prices are attributed to that comparison and should not be treated as a uniform, trim-normalized price survey. Range figures below are included only where the cited comparison or manufacturer information establishes them.

What the price ranking does—and does not—tell you

The Bolt EUV was the least expensive model in this ranking, with the Kona Electric next. But a starting price is an entry point, not a like-for-like transaction price. Trim equipment, destination charges, regional pricing, and incentives can change the amount a shopper pays, and the cited list does not provide a common out-the-door calculation for all ten vehicles.

Other January 2023 comparisons show why the source and date matter. Plug In America listed illustrative starting prices of $26,595 for the Bolt EV/EUV, $35,245 for the Kona EV, $38,790 for the ID.4, and $47,190 for the Ariya. Those figures differ from MotorTrend’s, reflecting differing source dates, configurations, and price conventions—not a basis for combining the two lists into one precise ranking. See Plug In America’s January 2023 EV guide.

How to compare range across these SUVs

Range is configuration-dependent, so compare the specific trim and drivetrain you are considering rather than relying on the highest number associated with a model family. In MotorTrend’s comparison, the Kona Electric was listed at 258 miles, while the ID.4 spanned 209 to 275 miles across configurations. Nissan’s 2023 press kit gives the Ariya Venture+ an EPA-estimated range of up to 304 miles; that maximum applies to that trim, not every Ariya. The figure is a manufacturer statement, not an independent road-test result. Nissan’s 2023 Ariya press kit.

The Alternative Fuels Data Center’s model-year 2023 vehicle sheet provides a separate reference for vehicle type, all-electric range, charging information, and base MSRP. It was downloaded April 21, 2023, and its contents changed as vehicles completed EPA fuel-economy ratings. Treat it as a dated model-year reference rather than a guarantee that every listing reflects the same timing or price basis. Alternative Fuels Data Center model-year 2023 vehicle sheet.

Choose by use, not just by rank

A lower listed price may matter most if your daily trips are short and the vehicle fits your passenger and cargo needs. For longer regular drives, consider the range of the exact configuration, where you can charge, and how much time a charging stop might add. The available comparison material does not establish a trim-by-trim, all-ten-model assessment of all-wheel drive, cargo capacity, or charging speed, so verify those specifications for the specific vehicle before deciding.

  • Check the exact trim: Confirm its range, drivetrain, equipment, and price rather than assuming the base model shares the range or features of a higher trim.
  • Match range to your routine: Think about typical daily distance, longer trips, weather, and access to charging; a model-family maximum is not a promise for every configuration or driving condition.
  • Confirm connector and charging capability: Plug In America’s guide discusses CCS Combo, CHAdeMO, and Tesla Supercharger connections and illustrates that charging arrangements differ. Verify the connector and charging specifications for the individual vehicle and the equipment available where you plan to charge. Plug In America’s EV guide.
  • Check local incentives at purchase time: Eligibility and amounts depend on jurisdiction and date. Maryland’s EV materials, for example, document a state incentive change beginning July 1, 2023; that historical change does not establish a benefit available to buyers elsewhere or today. Maryland’s 2023 EV annual report and information sheet.
  • Compare the full deal: Ask for the selected trim’s price with destination and applicable fees, then account for only incentives you have verified for your location and purchase date.

Was the Bolt EUV the cheapest electric SUV in 2023?

It was the least expensive SUV in MotorTrend’s displayed 2023 ranking, at $28,795. Other 2023 guides used different price figures and bases, so the answer is specific to that comparison rather than a universal transaction-price claim.
