The 6 electric SUVs with the most avant-garde interiors and the best materials on the Spanish market

The interior of an electric SUV is no longer a mere add-on: it is the true calling card of any premium model in 2026. Electrification has freed designers from the transmission tunnel, the front engine block and acoustic constraints, opening the door to cabins where perceived quality, material sustainability and technological integration make the difference between commercial success and oblivion.

In this selection by Highmotor we evaluate the six electric SUVs with the most interesting avant-garde interiors on sale in Spain in 2026, looking at their design philosophy, recycled materials, ambient lighting and screen treatment.

How have we evaluated the premium cabins?

Our analysis weighs five vectors: perceived quality to the touch, material sustainability, screen integration, ambient lighting and ergonomics. It is not just about counting display inches, but understanding how recycled wool, FSC woods and Econyl plastics coexist with the most advanced electronics on the market.

Volvo EX90 — from €84,111

Gothenburg’s electric flagship redefines the Scandinavian concept. Its dashboard combines Nordico wool —woven with recycled fibres and FSC-certified wood with linear engraving—. The 14.5-inch vertical central screen avoids visual saturation thanks to a refined menu architecture, while the head-up display projects contextual information at 9 metres.

Seats in MicroTech with recycled wool details completely eliminate animal leather without sacrificing premium firmness. The ambient lighting offers eight themes inspired by Nordic landscapes.

Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV — from €82,800

If there is one interior that polarises the sector, it is the Hyperscreen of the EQE SUV. Its 141 cm curved surface integrates three screens under a continuous glass panel, with MBUX haptics and contextual learning. The quality of the anodised aluminium trim and the open-pore certified wood inserts raise perception to S-Class saloon levels.

Mercedes bets on MB-Tex upholstery with recycled PET threads and options in vegetable-tanned Nappa leather. The 64 ambient lighting colours actively respond to the assistance system.

BMW iX — from €88,500

The iX remains, five years after its debut, Munich’s most disruptive electric SUV. Its Curved Display integrates the 12.3-inch instrument cluster and the 14.9-inch infotainment under anti-reflective glass. FSC open-pore wood replaces physical controls with capacitive touch surfaces.

Optional Swarovski crystal details in the iDrive, together with Econyl upholstery woven from recovered fishing nets, position the iX as a reference for electric SUV interiors with quality materials.

Audi Q6 e-tron — from €66,370

The Q6 e-tron debuts the PPE architecture shared with Porsche and, with it, the MMI digital stage system: three screens (11.9″ instrument cluster, 14.5-inch central and optional 10.9-inch passenger display) plus an augmented-reality head-up display. Ingolstadt’s obsession with fit tolerances shows in every joint.

The optional Dinamica seats —recycled microfibre— and milled aluminium panels reinforce its technical character.

Polestar 3 — from €81,900

Polestar takes Scandinavian minimalism to the extreme. Its dashboard, dominated by a 14.5-inch vertical central screen with native Android Automotive, dispenses with almost any physical button. The brand offers bio-attributed certified wool and MicroTech upholstery with blockchain traceability.

The use of recycled aluminium in the trim and the 1,610 W Bowers & Wilkins audio system make the Polestar 3 one of the premium electric car cabins most consistent with the sustainable narrative.

Porsche Macan Electric — from €83,300

The electric Macan introduces the Porsche Driver Experience: a curved 12.6-inch instrument cluster, a 10.9-inch central screen and an optional passenger display with privacy filter. Race-Tex —microfibre with recycled polyester— replaces traditional Alcantara. The quality of the assembly and the rigour of the materials place it at the top of the segment.
