Luxury Electric: Cars That Make You Excited About Going Green
Five luxury electric cars you can order in Australia, from the $307,000 BMW i7 to the $1M Ferrari Luce, with power, range and what is still to come.
Luxury electric cars in Australia now run from about $307,000 to an eye-watering $1 million, and if your finances allow, all five below can be ordered today. We have ranked them by starting price, most expensive first, and focused on what matters when you are spending this much: power, range and bragging rights. All prices are RRP but we know you will be ticking that option box.
1. Ferrari Luce: from $991,446
The Ferrari Luce is the most expensive electric car on sale in Australia, at $991,446. Powered by four electric motors making 770kW, the claimed 0-100km/h time is 2.5 seconds, and range is more than 530km on the WLTP cycle. The catch is timing: local deliveries are expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, so you would be paying to wait, but most buyers we expect will have a few cars in the fleet. The Luce is a polarising one. The design has drawn criticism, including from a former Ferrari chairman.
2. Rolls-Royce Spectre: from $800,000
The Rolls-Royce Spectre is already on sale in Australia from $800,000, with the Black Badge at $933,000. The standard car makes 430kW and 900Nm, with a claimed 0-100km/h time of 4.5 seconds and 530km of range. It is a two-door coupe, so on paper is the least practical car here, but you know the passenger potential is huge. This is the one to choose for presence and refinement.
3. Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV: from $331,600
The Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV is the easy-living choice, with 484kW and up to 662km of range. The $331,600 price reflects the Maybach treatment on top of the Mercedes EQS, however who can argue with the two tone paint, the rear passenger pillows and the the knowledge of Mercedes build quality.
4. Range Rover Electric: from $317,718
The Range Rover Electric starts at $317,718 for the HSE, then $357,718 for the Autobiography and $417,418 for the SV. It makes 404kW and 850Nm, with a claimed 4.5 seconds to 100km/h, about 535km of WLTP range and charging at up to 350kW. Orders are open, but customer deliveries are expected in 2027. Towing is rated at 2,500kg, lower than the diesel's 3,500kg, which matters if you tow.
5. BMW i7: from $306,900
The BMW i7 is the cheapest here and the most conventional: a large luxury sedan with 400kW in the i7 60 xDrive M Sport, up to 625km of range and a $306,900 starting price. It is available now, so if you want a luxury electric car you can take delivery of today with out the fan fair of the others, this is the car to have.
What about Bentley?
Bentley has now revealed its first electric car, the Torcal, with 604kW in the standard car and a claimed range of up to 600km. It is too new to rank: there is no Australian price or arrival date yet, and production is expected to start in the second quarter of 2027. Bentley has not announced Australian pricing.
At a glance:
- Ferrari Luce: $991,446, about 770kW, deliveries expected Q4 2027
- Rolls-Royce Spectre: from $800,000, 430kW, 530km WLTP, on sale now

- BMW i7: from $306,900, 400kW, up to 625km, on sale now
Verdict: The BMW i7 is the one to buy if you want to drive away soon; the Rolls-Royce Spectre is the one to own if money is no object, and the Ferrari Luce is for people who are happy to wait.
