Premier

“Cheap, easy, commuter-perfect electric crossover”

~$23,000

60 months at 9.5% APR

Interest$4,682

It costs far less than your budget and still has a big touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its 247-mile range easily covers a daily commute, and it leaves thousands of dollars for a home charger.

It's the kind of cheap EV that shoppers overlook, yet it offers hands-free Super Cruise on the Premier trim for a fraction of the price of premium EVs.

Dual 12.3-inch displays, a head-up display, wireless phone connectivity and over-the-air updates cover your tech priority. The 800V architecture can fast-charge from 10-80% in about 18 minutes, which is handy if you can't charge at home. The spacious cabin suits 4-5 occupants easily.

It's a mainstream pick, but a CPO Limited gets you near-luxury tech and vehicle-to-load power for well under budget.

2023 Genesis GV60

Advanced AWD

“Luxury EV tech without the luxury premium”

~$41,500

$767/mo

60 months at 9.5% APR

Interest$9,494

It has a luxurious cabin, a crisp OLED-style dual-screen setup, a head-up display and facial recognition entry, which suits your tech priority. The shared Hyundai-Kia EV platform gives proven reliability, and 800V fast charging keeps commuting stress-free. It stays under your $45k cap even with premium features.

Most shoppers go straight to Tesla or Audi, but the GV60 is an upscale, distinctive EV that's often cheaper used than its rivals thanks to quick depreciation.
