The 8 best luxury EVs, according to Consumer Reports Consumer Reports ranked the top luxury EVs for performance, reliability, and satisfaction. Here are 8 standout models worth the price. Electric vehicles are no longer just for early adopters or eco-conscious commuters — they’ve gone upscale. Today’s luxury EVs combine new technology with premium materials, high-performance drivetrains, and the quiet ride that electric power provides. But as the market keeps expanding, so do the options, making it harder for shoppers to know which models are worth the price. That’s where Consumer Reports comes in. Using its rigorous scoring system, which factors in road-test performance, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety, the site ranked the best luxury EVs currently on the market. The list includes a mix of sedans and SUVs, with most options from established luxury brands. While EV prices can still run high, some of the top-rated options offer good value for the level of quality and features they deliver. Whether you’re after long-range capability, impressive acceleration, or a futuristic interior, there’s a luxury EV that can meet your needs. Many of these models include advanced driver-assistance systems, top-tier infotainment, and unique design that sets them apart from gas-powered counterparts. Below, we’ve broken down Consumer Reports’ picks for the eight best luxury EVs, highlighting what makes each model stand out in a rapidly evolving market. Continue reading to see which cars made the list: 2 / 9 #8: 2025 BMW iX HECTOR RETAMAL / Contributor / Getty Images The BMW iX is ranked CR’s 4th best luxury EV SUV and eighth overall luxury EV pick. It has a base MSRP between $87,250 and $111,500 and has a highway range of 370 miles, according to CR’s testing. “We were thoroughly impressed with BMW’s all-electric iX, which is speedy, ultraquiet, and delivers a cushy ride,” the outlet said. “Even with its complicated controls, the iX earned one of the highest road-test scores ever.” 3 / 9 #7: 2025 Tesla Model S NurPhoto / Contributor / Getty Images The only Tesla to make the list, the Model S was ranked seventh overall. It has a base MSRP between $79,990 and $94,990, and an highway range of 366, according to CR’s testing. CR praised the car for being “quick” and “easy to charge in public places.” Still, it said “newer competitors from legacy brands have nicer interiors and more intuitive controls.” “We suggest skipping the optional yoke steering wheel. It’s similar to the half steering wheel pilots use to control airplanes. It brings major compromises in usability, maneuverability, and comfort,” CR added. 4 / 9 #6: 2025 Lexus RZ Sjoerd van der Wal / Contributor / Getty Images The RZ is more affordable than some of other picks on CR’s list, with a base MSRP between $42,800 and $57,430, and a range of 202 miles. It praised the car’s comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and quick acceleration, but did have some complaints. CR found the RZ has a “shorter driving range and slower charging than other EVs,” plus, it didn’t like the lack of glove box, “unintuitive” controls, and long wet stopping distances. 5 / 9 #5: 2025 Audi Q4 E-Tron The Q4 E-Tron was rated the second best luxury EV SUV and fifth overall. With a base MSRP between $49,800 and $58,200 and a range of 258, CR said it has lots going for it. “Audi’s Q4 E-Tron electric SUV shares its platform with Volkswagen’s ID.4, but it feels like an Audi through and through,” it said. “It’s quick and quiet, and has a well-finished cabin. Without the indulgent, newfangled controls found in some other EVs the Q4 is easy to drive and live with on a daily basis. Still, CR dinged it for a “spongy, long-travel brake pedal” and said the “touch-capacitive steering-wheel buttons…are tedious to use while driving.” 6 / 9 #4: 2025 Genesis GV60 The Genesis GV60, from Hyundai’s luxury line, was named CR’s best luxury EV SUV, and ranked fourth overall in luxury EVs. It has a base MSRP between $52,350 and $69,900 and a range of 251 miles. “The GV60 is one of the nicest-driving electric vehicles available,” CR said. “We found this SUV-like hatchback to be quick, quiet, comfortable, and agile.” It added that the GV60 is among the Genesis vehicles that manage to be “stylish” without having to “sacrifice a thing to their more-established competitors.” 7 / 9 #3: 2025 Porsche Taycan Sjoerd van der Wal / Contributor / Getty Images With a range of 295 miles, the Porsche Taycan came in third overall on CR’s list. It has a hefty base MSRP between $99,400 and $230,000, which is no surprise for the luxury brand. “We’re impressed by how well Porsche kept its DNA in building the Taycan, particularly in terms of driving performance, handling agility, ride comfort, and workmanship,” CR said. It did have some gripes about the car’s controls and visibility, though. 8 / 9 #2: 2025 BMW i5 UCG / Contributor / Getty Images The 2025 BMW i5 came in second place, with a base MSRP between $67,100 and $84,100 and a 295 mile range. “The top-level M60 trim (the first version that was available) proved to be one of the best cars we’ve tested—electric or otherwise. It’s super quick, agile through corners, and it rides serenely down the highway with a comfortable ride and a hushed cabin,” CR said. “Buyers will also benefit from the i5’s robust driving range and relatively quick charging, not to mention a pampering cabin filled with luxury features, high-quality materials, and super comfortable front seats.” The only complaint they seemed to have about the car is its “distracting controls.” 9 / 9 #1: 2025 BMW i4 JADE GAO / Contributor / Getty Images BMW’s i4 took the top spot, with a range of 318 miles and a MSRP between $52,800 and $70,700. “Comfortable front seats, a hushed interior, and a finely-furnished cabin also helped the i4 achieve an impressively high road-test score,” CR said. It scored high

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump accused a civil servant of sabotaging him without evidence and summarily fired her. In doing so, he stole a page from an emerging market that cycles through inflation surges and debt crises as if it were a national sport. Enter Argentina. Danish economist Lars Christensen — who has researched emerging economies in Latin America and beyond — dubbed Trump’s outburst as “the Argentinisation of American data.” It’s referring to an instance almost two decades ago in which the Argentine government ousted statistician Graciela Bevacqua. The nonpartisan official had refused to go along with their ploy to doctor inflation figures to shore up the ruling government’s odds of triumph in upcoming national elections. That episode in Argentina’s never-ending economic novella has rippled anew in the U.S. after Trump booted Dr. Erika McEntarfer from helming the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It puts a spotlight on the independent statistics critical to decisions flowing through every level of U.S. society. Diminishing the reliability of such data risks dealing a blow to the U.S. economy that snowballs with unpredictable consequences. In the U.S., public agencies release reports detailing employment growth, poverty rates, inflation, and more either weekly, monthly, or annually like clockwork. The federal government relies on that economic data in setting Social Security benefits, income tax brackets and more. Then business owners decide when to hire and families draw up a monthly budget based on economic conditions. Trump, though, lashed out at McEntarfer over major downgrades to the last two months of job counts. Most economists say it’s the product of routine revisions and thinner staffing which has dragged down BLS survey capabilities.  U.S. President Donald Trump in August 2025 (Brendan Smialowski/AFP via Getty Images). In a recent interview with Quartz, Bevacqua referred to the McEntarfer firing as a “red flag” for the U.S. that she argues will test the independence of its economic institutions. “A credible, robust BLS has been a model for many countries,” she said, including Argentina. American Statistical Association Executive Director Ronald Wasserstein drew a comparison to Argentina’s turbulence. “We were just too naive to believe that it would ever happen here,” he said. “We’re looking at a very similar situation now.” “I was fired” Bevacqua oversaw the team managing the consumer price index at INDEC, Argentina’s independent statistics agency. She spent over two decades at an agency that cultivated a sterling professional reputation in Latin America. The organization put out accurate data even in 1979 when an economic minister in Argentina’s military dictatorship tried masking severe inflation by separately establishing a “meatless price index.” INDEC made no bones about rampant, double-digit inflation increases. They published the price measurement wrapping in the Argentine culinary staple anyway. But it wouldn’t be the last time the state tried putting its fingerprints on official statistics. Trouble brewed for Bevacqua starting in 2006 when newly appointed domestic trade official Guillermo Moreno pushed for access to INDEC’s confidential methodology, starting with the specific firms surveyed ahead of the consumer price release.  At one point, Moreno dragged Bevacqua into his office. He called her “unpatriotic” if she didn’t fall in line and release lower inflation figures favorable to Argentine President Néstor Kirchner’s populist government before the next presidential election.  Bevacqua didn’t budge. She said political officials orchestrated “an entire pressure campaign” that included an effort to block the Uruguayan government from offering her a job in their national statistics office. It culminated in her removal from INDEC in January 2007. “I was fired because I didn’t want to change the numbers,” Bevacqua said. A Kirchner loyalist was installed as her replacement. Argentina later reported that year the inflation rate had dropped from to 8.5% in 2007 from 9.5% compared to the year prior. Statistician Graciela Bevacqua in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October 2011. (Juan Forero/The Washington Post via Getty Images). Cristina Kirchner succeeded her husband in becoming Argentina’s president, and her government plowed ahead with producing defective inflation reports that bolstered their agenda. Crackdowns were launched on private sector economists who released inflation readings contradicting official figures. Often, their data showed inflation at double the rate reported by the government. Bevacqua was among the rebellious consultants fending off the threat of jail time and steep fines exceeding $120,000. At INDEC, credibility that took generations to build was lost in just a few years. The Economist magazine stopped publishing INDEC’s statistics and labeled them “bogus.” Argentines treated the data as no better than garbage. Investors fumbled in the dark, driving up borrowing costs. The International Monetary Fund stepped in to rebuke Buenos Aires, like a headmaster trying to wrangle better behavior out of a stubborn student. The IMF censured Argentina in 2013 for the grossly distorted state of its data and demanded it start cleaning up their number-crunching. Otherwise, Argentina could lose access to critical loans or even face expulsion from the organization. It was the first time the IMF had penalized a member country that way. Then-Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (L) waves to the crowd next to her husband and outgoing president Nestor Kirchner as they leave the Argentine Congress in December 2007. (Daniel Darras/Telam/AFP via Getty Images) Bevacqua eventually beat back the investigations. Under a new government, she was appointed to INDEC’s number two job in 2016. INDEC had shed scores of experienced statisticians. But it regained political independence and began reassembling a once reliable inflation index that lay in shambles. Arturo Porzecanski, a professor at American University who has closely tracked Argentina’s economy, said its society is still paying the costs from a near-decade of financial blindness: Citizens, businesses, and investors alike. He cited ongoing litigation around the accurate value of contracts with inflation-adjusted clauses still tying up court dockets. Last year, Argentina lost a $1.8 billion lawsuit against four U.K. hedge funds over government securities in which INDEC’s previously defective data was part of the proceedings. A “trust but verify” environment sprouted up from the ruins as well. “Even today, after INDEC’s reputation was rebuilt, several

Elon Musk asked Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to get involved in the xAI CEO’s bid for OpenAI, court filings from Thursday showed.  Suggested Reading OpenAI states in the filing that Musk had spoken with Zuckerberg about his letter of intent to buy OpenAI, more specifically asking the Meta CEO “about potential financing arrangements or investments.”  Related Content It added that neither Zuckerberg nor his company signed the letter of intent.  Back in February, a group of investors led by Musk made a bid to buy the nonprofit controlling OpenAI for $97.4 billion.  “OpenAI is not for sale,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in response to Axios during the AI Action Summit in Paris. “OpenAI’s mission is not for sale — to say nothing of the fact that a competitor who is not able to beat us in the market and you know, instead is just trying to say, ‘I’m gonna buy this’ with total disregard for the mission is a likely path there.” OpenAI is asking the court to order Meta to produce documents that it says is “relevant to [its] defenses,” including “responsive communications” or “reflecting discussions or coordination” Meta has had with Musk. Plus, it’s requesting “documents and communications related to any actual or contemplated bid to acquire OpenAI or any of its assets,” which include Meta’s discussions with other bidders and internal communication.  In its statement, OpenAI said it served Meta with a subpoena on June 18, after which Meta served responses and objections on July 2. The AI startup said it “conferred on four occasions” with Meta about its response.  OpenAI said its request from the court is aligned with the court’s July 9 order that discovery related to Musk’s bid and the letter of intent “is relevant to phase 1 issues…because Musk’s bid may be inconsistent with Plaintiffs’ phase 1 theories of liability.”  Meta said in the filing that the court should reject OpenAI’s request because it said the AI startup should obtain the documents it wants “directly from plaintiffs” — which is Musk — “rather than imposing that burden on non-party Meta.” It added that any documents OpenAI wants that “plaintiffs do not have” are “not relevant.”  Regarding OpenAI’s request for internal communications, Meta said “it is difficult to see how any communications by any Meta employee are at all relevant.”  OpenAI said in the filing that “Meta’s objections are meritless.”  — Britney Nguyen contributed to this article.  📬 Sign up for the Daily Brief Read More

President Donald Trump said on Friday morning he would fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook if she doesn’t resign over allegations of mortgage fraud. Suggested Reading “I’ll fire her if she doesn’t resign,” Trump told reporters on Friday morning. “What she did was bad.” Related Content It’s a fresh sign that Trump is broadening his offensive against the Fed to include central bank officials who decide the direction of interest rates. Cook has a vote on the 12-member Federal Open Markets Committee that meets periodically to to adjust the cost of borrowing based on the state of the economy. Trump’s threat comes just two days after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte disclosed mortgage documents his agency obtained about Cook, alleging she had sought favorable loans with misleading information on her applications. It formed the basis of a criminal referral that the FHFA sent to the Justice Department, which has reportedly taken steps to open an investigation into Cook. Trump quickly demanded her resignation over social media. Over the course of a month in 2021, Cook obtained primary residence mortgages on two properties in Michigan and Georgia, declaring both to be her main residence, per the documents released by Pulte. That was before then-President Biden appointed her to the Fed’s Board of Governors and her ensuing Senate confirmation in May 2022. Cook has voted alongside Powell to hold interest rates steady so far this year. Cook has made it clear she doesn’t intend to step aside. “I have no intention of being bullied to step down from my position because of some questions raised in a tweet,” she said in a statement released Wednesday, adding she will “take any questions about my financial history seriously” and “answer any legitimate questions.” Trump has expressed enormous fury at Fed Chair Jerome Powell in particular for the central bank pausing interest rate cuts this year. Observers say he has authority to oust members from the Fed’s Board of Governors, a subset of the FOMC. “The president can fire members of the Fed Board for cause,” said Gary Richardson, a past historian of the Federal Reserve who’s now a professor at the University of California, Irvine. “Members of the FOMC have been forced to resign for less.” This is a developing story and will be updated. 📬 Sign up for the Daily Brief Read More

Nvidia has already suspended production of its H20 AI chip meant for China, the Information reported Thursday. Suggested Reading The chip designer told some suppliers — including Amkor Technology and Samsung Electronics — to halt production on its H20 AI chip this week, the outlet said, citing people familiar with the matter. The apparent pause comes one month after China’s Cyberspace Administration raised security concerns over alleged “backdoors” in Nvidia’s H20 chips, per CNBC. Related Content Nvidia’s stock has dropped 1.9% over the last five days.  The reported pause also follows a Tuesday report from Reuters that said Nvidia is working on a new AI chip for China that’s more powerful than the H20 chip.  The new product is tentatively called the B30A, Reuters reported. It is thought to be based on Nvidia’s Blackwell chip architecture.  When asked about the new chip in a CNBC interview, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick did not rule out allowing Nvidia’s chief executive Jensen Huang to sell the more powerful product to China.  “Of course, he would like to sell a new chip to China,” Lutnick said. “I’ve listened to him pitch the president, and the president listens to our great technology companies, and he’ll decide how he wants to play.” In April, the U.S. Commerce Department banned Nvidia from selling its H20 chips to China, citing the need to safeguard “national and economic security.”  The Trump administration reversed its ban in July.  Last year, the U.S. tightened chip-related export rules. In response, Nvidia launched its H20 chip, a lower-spec version of its flagship GPU designed to fall just under those limits.  — Alex Daniel contributed to this article. 📬 Sign up for the Daily Brief Read More

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. I’ve been in the entrepreneurship game long enough to spot when something big is coming. And I’m telling you right now: I believe biohacking isn’t just another wellness fad. It’s a legitimate business strategy that’s giving smart entrepreneurs a massive competitive edge. The numbers don’t lie: why entrepreneurs need this now Eighty-seven percent of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues versus just 48% of regular people. But here’s the real kicker — it’s not just stress. I think it’s about trying to maintain peak performance while your body systematically breaks down under the demands of building something meaningful. Meanwhile, research shows each extra hour of sleep per week bumps your earnings by 3.4%. You’re literally leaving money on the table by not getting enough sleep. Think about that for a second. Your competitors who prioritize recovery aren’t just feeling better — they’re earning more. The market agrees with this shift. According to a recent Research and Markets Report, the Global Biohacking Market was valued at $24.5 billion in 2024 and is estimated to reach $111.3 billion by 2034. When you see numbers like that, you’re not looking at a trend. You’re looking at a complete shift in how high performers approach optimization. Related: Tricks to Prevent Jet Lag, According to Science What biohacking actually means for business Biohacking isn’t some mystical wellness nonsense. It’s what happens when entrepreneurs apply the same obsessive optimization mindset they use in business to their own bodies. These are people who track every metric that matters. Now they’re tracking HRV scores (heart rate variability) like conversion rates, experimenting with intermittent fasting like it’s a marketing campaign, and optimizing their sleep with the same intensity they bring to growth hacking. Makes perfect sense when you think about it. If you’re going to measure everything else, why not measure what actually powers your brain? Dave Asprey figured this out when he was running a longevity nonprofit and realized he was “the only guy under 60 in the room.” All the knowledge about human optimization was stuck with older folks, while young entrepreneurs were burning themselves out. That’s when he created something entirely different. At his 11th annual in-person Biohacking Conference (13th, including virtual events during COVID), Asprey’s approach became crystal clear. This isn’t strategic rebranding of longevity science — it’s an entirely new framework that has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. His definition of biohacking is laser-focused: “To change the environment outside of you and inside of you so you have full control of your biology, to allow you to upgrade your body, mind, and your life.” Related: Is There a Superior Diet for the Entrepreneur? The ‘Father of Biohacking’ Shares What He Eats for High Energy, Low Body Fat and Optimal Output AI is revolutionizing the biohacking game Here’s where Asprey really got my attention. His company, 40 Years of Zen, utilizes AI to analyze brainwaves from top entrepreneurs and train your brain to match their patterns in five days, rather than spending 20 years meditating. For entrepreneurs who barely have time to eat lunch, this is a revolutionary concept. But the real breakthrough is Upgrade Labs, his franchise that’s collecting 187 million data points from every client. They’re using AI to analyze your bloodwork, performance metrics, goals, and current state, then generating a personalized optimization plan. No more guessing about supplements, fasting schedules or treatments. Asprey dropped $2.5 million figuring this out the expensive way. With AI, you don’t have to. This is biohacking evolving from experimental to systematic. The data exists and the results are measurable. (Fair warning: accessible technology can still come with a price tag — the 40 Years of Zen retreat costs $16,000 for a five-day immersive neurofeedback experience. But compare that to the cost of burnout.) An industry cross-pollination that signals massive growth What blew me away at Asprey’s conference wasn’t just the technology — it was the crowd. I watched entertainment personalities like Ragga Ragnar (Queen Gilhund from Vikings) discussing their craft with medical professionals like Dr. Vince Padre, who is developing gut-healthy coffee. Tech veterans were swapping notes with food innovators, such as Oren Epstein from BioRaw, Canada’s leading vegan food distributor, about running sustainable businesses. Even teenage entrepreneurs like George Zhou and Becket Kitaen from Buffs were there, soaking it all up. Their product is a “cheeto puff made of beef.” When cultural influencers like Food Babe, who shares her most helpful resources here, and thought leaders like Martin Luther King III show up — connecting biohacking to mission-driven initiatives like Realize The Dream — you know something has staying power. When wellness meets social change, and both get backed by real money, that’s when markets explode. The entrepreneurial trifecta is in full effect: users proving demand, investors bringing serious capital and cultural influencers amplifying the message. Game over. Where the smart money is moving The investment patterns tell the story. Money is flowing toward scalable, results-driven models — from recurring subscriptions to high-retention product ecosystems.
