For new electric vehicle buyers, the options available now are more plentiful than ever before. With so many EVs on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you and your budget. Fortunately, one publication recently pointed to Tesla as the leading luxury brand overall, among a handful of other awards.
Tesla earned the title of Best Overall Luxury Brand from Kelley Blue Book in its most recent “Brand Image” analysis, making it the top spot in this category for the fourth year in a row. In addition to this title, the electric vehicle maker also earned four other spots in the outlet’s Brand Image Awards, including Best Value Luxury Brand, Most Refined Luxury Brand, Best Performance Luxury Brand, and Best Overall EV Brand.
KBB looked at the opinions of more than 12,000 new vehicle shoppers in its annual “Brand Watch Study” to come up with these results. According to KBB, the Brand Image analysis looks primarily at new consumer appeal across the respondents, and whether or not an automaker’s brand can “create enthusiasm among shoppers.”
Tesla’s success in the marketplace is evident from its record first-quarter deliveries and production. Currently, Tesla is selling more EVs than any other company throughout many world auto markets. The automaker currently sells four passenger vehicles, ranging from the Model 3 sedan to the Model X premium SUV. Additionally, the highly anticipated Cybertruck is set to enter production this summer.
The Best Overall EV Brand is a new category for KBB, which the publication says it added to “reflect the changing marketplace.” As automakers continue to offer their best Tesla alternatives for the EV marketplace in the coming months and years, competition will only increase. As it stands now, however, Tesla appears to be the most appealing EV and luxury brand to buyers.
