The new electric cars coming in 2025

New EVs are arriving thick and fast. Here's your guide to this year's entrants Love them or loathe them, electric cars are here to stay - and ownership is increasing month on month. Almost every manufacturer from Alpine to Volvo has entered the world of electric cars. Some firms have gone further than others, including those that remain committed to going all-electric by the turn of the decade. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), 2024 was a successful year for EVs. It marked a record year for electric sales, with battery-powered models accounting for 19.6% of the 1.95 million vehicles sold – a 16.5% increase from the previous year. This expansion isn't limited to established brands like Audi and Mercedes. Newer players such as BYD, Leapmotor and Maxus are also broadening their offerings. In short, there has never been more choice for EV buyers. So the range of EVs on sale in the UK extends beyond SUVs, which remain a popular option among both manufacturers and buyers. This year, we’ve also seen the arrival of electric small cars, such as the Renault 5, and estate cars, including the Audi A6 E-tron. And because we’re just eight months into the year, it means there’s still plenty more to come. So read on to see the remaining electric models set to arrive in 2025… AC Ace Electric Classic British roadster is going electric, with a lightweight design (it comes in at just 1134kg), a 72kWh battery and a 300bhp electric motor. It will cost you around £212,000, however. Read more about the new AC Ace Electric Alpine A390 The first crossover to come from this French performance brand, the A390 will feature a 464bhp tri-motor powertrain with active torque-vectoring, which is promised to make it feel far lighter than it actually is. Prices will start from around £60,000. Alpine CEO Phillipe Krief told us the tri-motor arrangement instills the car with a "perceived lightness". Read our Alpine A390 review Audi RS6 E-tron Audi Sport’s incoming performance saloon/estate will display some serious performance, rivalling the likes of the Porsche Taycan Turbo S and Tesla Model S Plaid. That’s all while offering the practicality of the regular A6 E-tron. Read more about the Audi RS6 E-tron BMW iX3 This SUV is the first step into BMW's 'new-class' design revolution. We’ve no performance or range figures yet, but we know it will be equipped with 800V electrical hardware, which will make it one of the fastest-charging EVs on sale. The combustion-engined BMW X3, the company's bestseller, will continue to be sold alongside the iX3. Read more about the new BMW iX3 BYD Atto 2 Another electric compact crossover, this time from Chinese giant BYD. This Vauxhall Frontera rival gets a single motor with 174bhp and a 45.1kWh battery, which produces around 194 miles of range. Inside, the Atto 2 offers seating for five and a 400-litre boot. Read our BYD Atto 2 review BYD Seal update Technology and efficiency updates arrive for the Seal saloon, which gets a slightly smaller battery for a range of 320 miles. Updates to the interior include a new steering wheel and more upmarket materials, although the powertrains remain the same. Read more about the BYD Seal facelift BYD Seal 06 GT Crucial Cupra Born and VW ID 3 rival joins BYD’s expanding range. Inside, it’s largely the same as the BYD Seal saloon, complete with its huge central infotainment screen. The 06 GT will also use that car's architecture. Full specifications have yet to be released, but it is likely to share battery tech with the saloon too, including its 800V charging capability. Read more about the BYD Seal 06 GT Cupra Raval This all-new small EV will sit below the Born in Cupra's line-up, with a reasonable price tag of below £20,000. Performance and range are to be confirmed, but the hatchback is rumoured to produce around 231bhp and have a range of circa 273 miles. Read more about the Cupra Raval Citroën ë-C3 van Car-based vans are back! Well, at least Citroën is hoping they are. The French company will launch a circa £15,000 electric van based on its Citroën ë-C3 SUV this year. It will come with just a 44kWh battery (the 33kWH unit offered in the supermini will not be available) and its range will be 200 miles. The maximum payload is 494kg. Read more about the Citroën ë-C3 van Denza Bao 5 This 677bhp range-extender Land Rover Defender rival is coming to the UK. In China, it’s badged as a Fangchengbao but it is likely to wear Denza badging when it arrives in the UK. It’s roughly the same size as a Defender 110, has a ladder-frame chassis and pairs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with electric motors on both axles. Read more about the Denza Bao 5 Denza Z9 GT BYD-owned Denza hopes its upmarket Z9 GT will challenge stalwarts BMW and Audi. In its most powerful specification, this saloon/shooting brake will pump out 952bhp and 1018lb ft of torque. 0-62mph? Just 2.9sec… Read more about the Denza Z9 GT DS No8 Stellantis’s bold French premium brand is bringing its new electric flagship to the UK. In its top specs, the N°8 offers 370bhp and a range of up to 426 miles, making it one of the longest-legged electric cars on offer. Prices will start from £50,790 and top out at £63,290. Entry-level models start with a 256bhp front-mounted motor and a 74kWh battery, good for a WLTP-backed 355 miles of range. There’s a big-battery variant that gains the impressive 426-mile headline figures, while all-wheel drive will be an option too. Read more about the DS N°8 Genesis GV60 Magma This more upmarket alternative to the hot Hyundai Ioniq 5 N will adopt similar underpinnings, such as its 89kWh battery and 641bhp dual-motor powertrain. Its chief development manager said it's tailored for “the gentleman driver” but encourages driving in “an exciting, enthusiastic way.” Read more about the Genesis GV60 Magma GWM Ora 07 The Ora 07 is a saloon counterpart to the Ora 03 supermini (formerly the Ora Funky Cat), with a price expected to land below £35,000. In its most premium specification, drivers can expect 354 miles of range and crazy performance, with 402bhp from two motors. Read our GWM Ora 07 prototype review Hyundai Ioniq 2 Positioned above the Inster in Hyundai's EV line-up, the Bayon-sized Ioniq 2 will be revealed in the next two months. It'll share its underpinnings with the Kia EV2, which sits on the group's E-GMP platform, and is likely to offer around 350 miles of range. Read more about the Hyundai Ioniq 2 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N We’re expecting big things from the Ioniq 6 N sports saloon. With 641bhp and 568lb ft, the sleek performance EV will be blisteringly fast and, if its fantastic Ioniq 5 sibling is anything to go by, an absolute blast to drive. Read more about the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N Jeep Compass Electric Set to receive both petrol and electric power, the next-generation Compass will go into production in Italy later this year. It will get a 207bhp electric motor and a 73kWh battery pack, sitting just above the Avenger in the Jeep line-up. Read more about the electric Jeep Compass Jeep Wagoneer S Jeep’s new flagship will offer incredible performance in the body of a rugged off-roader, with a claimed output of 592bhp and 516lb ft. Four-wheel drive comes from two motors, and 0-62mph will take just 3.4sec. Range is said to stand at over 300 miles. Read more about the Jeep Wagoneer S KGM 0100 The brand formerly known as Ssangyong's next pick-up truck will be an EV using mechanicals supplied by China’s BYD. Much of the hardware is shared with the Torres eVX SUV, including a choice of 73.4kWh and 80.1kWh batteries. No word on payload capacity, though. Read more about the KGM 0100 Kia EV4 Kia isn’t just relying on SUVs in 2025: its EV4 will breathe new life in the saloon class, rivalling the venerable Tesla Model 3. Versions coming to the UK will be offered with 215bhp front-wheel-drive and 320bhp four-wheel-drive powertrains. Read more about the Kia EV4 Kia EV5 Effectively an electric Sportage, the EV5 follows the introduction of the seven-seat EV9 and compact EV3 crossovers. Battery sizes stretch from 58kWh to 88kWh and Kia says the biggest-battery model can offer 403 miles of range. Read more about the Kia EV5 Kia EV9 GT The EV9 GT will be one of the fastest seven-seaters in the world, capable of hitting 0-62mph in just 4.3sec. Total power output stands at 501bhp, but it’s still to be revealed how this outrageous performance will impact the EV9's range. Read more about the Kia EV9 GT Kia PV5 Kia’s entry into the commercial vehicle market will start with the 4.7m-long PV5. Based on a highly configurable platform, it will initially be launched as a cargo van and a seven-seat MPV, before a pick-up variant and an autonomous taxi arrive later down the line. Read more about the Kia PV5 Leapmotor B10 Stellantis-backed Chinese car firm Leapmotor unwrapped this compact crossover at the 2024 Paris motor show, but we’re still awaiting battery and power figures. It should borrow from the larger Leapmotor C10 but come in even cheaper, at under £30,000. Read more about the Leapmotor B10 LEVC L380 London taxi maker LEVC has unveiled an eight-seat MPV with an interior inspired by luxury airline travel. It will come with a 268bhp electric motor plus a maximum battery size of 120kWh, so you can ferry people around for up to 432 miles. Read more about the LEVC L380 Maxus Mifa 7 MG's commercial sibling brand is following its huge Mifa 9 with a smaller MPV to rival the Volkswagen ID Buzz LWB. Seemingly styled after a laptop, it has seven seats and a 255-mile range. Read more about Maxus EVs Mercedes-Benz CLA The next-generation CLA has officially been unveiled as Europe's longest-range electric car. It's primed to be the most efficient EV too, with a claimed 492-mile range and an efficiency figure north of 5.0mpkWh. Read more about the new electric Mercedes CLA Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 AMG's patented axial-flux motors were supposed to be confined to the company's more expensive models. But the hot version of the CLA will get them too. Which means this super-slippery efficiency-oriented EV will get 500bhp-plus and an active aero package with an air brake. Everything we know about the Mercedes-AMG CLA 45 MG Cyberster GTS MG surprised us all when it announced a 2+2 coupé version of its recently launched Cyberster roadster. It's likely to carry the same battery and motors as the standard Cyberster but will feel more like an MG B than an MG F. Read our MG Cyberster review Nissan Leaf Sunderland is due to produce the new Mk3 Nissan Leaf, which has transformed from hatchback to crossover. Available with two battery options – 52kWh and 75kWh – the new Leaf will come with up to 375 miles of range, plus charging speeds of up to 150kW. Read more about the new Nissan Leaf Nissan Micra The reborn Micra supermini will take the underpinnings of the much-celebrated new Renault 5 and re-work it into a new "funky" body. Mechanically it's the same - so it will be drawing power from either a 40kWh or 52kWh battery - and the interior is untouched too. Read more about the new electric Nissan Micra Onvo L60 Nio’s affordable EV brand, Onvo, will launch in Europe with the L60, an electric coupé-SUV that's claimed to be the most aerodynamically efficient EV on the market. It will offer a choice of proven BYD batteries, but range figures haven't yet been published. Read more about the Onvo L60 Peugeot e-408 Electric power comes to Peugeot’s stylish coupé-SUV. A 59.2kWh battery supplies power to a 207bhp motor and produces a range of 281 miles. Prices have already been announced, starting at £42,175 for the basic Allure model and rising to £44,945 for the GT. Read more about the Peugeot e-408 Polestar 5 The Porsche Taycan won’t be sleeping easy with the 5 on its tail. That’s if its charging statistics are anything to go by. Polestar says the saloon's new tech means it can gain 100 miles' worth of charge in just five minutes while avoiding battery degradation. Read more about the Polestar 5 Range Rover Electric The Range Rover Electric is one of the year's most anticipated EVs, with its promise of superb off-road ability and class-leading comfort. Power comes from a 118kWh battery with around 300 miles of range, while power stands at 542bhp and 627lb ft. Read our Range Rover Electric review Skoda Vision O Skoda will unveil its electric estate concept, named Vision O, at the Munich motor show in September. It will give strong clues to the next-generation Octavia, which will make the transition to all-electric power by the end of the decade. Read more about the Skoda Vision O Skywell Q The follow-up to Chinese EV maker Skywell's BE11 crossover, the Q hatchback claims a range of more than 300 miles. Power is punchy, at 201bhp, with a claimed 0-62mph sprint time of 3.9sec. Read more about the Skywell Q hatchback Skywell Skyhome This Chinese limousine will look to upset the Mercedes-Benz EQS with sumptuous luxury. Aside from a roof-mounted TV, we don’t know all that much about its technological side. It is, however, claimed to produce 617bhp in dual-motor form. Read more about the Skywell Skyhome Smart #5 We can’t get enough of rugged electric SUVs, and the #5 ticks all the right boxes. Far larger than the #1 and #3, it's similar in size to the Peugeot 5008. It packs 637bhp in dual-motor form, while the biggest battery can hold a whopping 100kWh of energy. Read our Smart #5 review Tesla ‘Model 2’ This should finally be the year that Tesla’s long-anticipated entry-level model – believed to be a hatchback – will arrive, supposedly costing less than £25,000. Read more about the Tesla Model 2 Toyota bZ3X This compact crossover will be built as part of Toyota’s joint venture with Chinese brand GAC. It will sit below the bZ4X and be sold alongside a fastback version, named the bZ3C. Range is pegged at 373 miles. Read more about the Toyota bZ3X Toyota bZ4X facelift Toyota's electric SUV is set to get a smaller battery and a new face. The new 57.7kWh battery will be available alongside the 73.1kWh pack and will be exclusively paired with a single, front-mounted, 165bhp motor. Range will increase from 318 to 356 miles. Everything we know about the new Toyota bZ4x Volvo ES90 Volvo’s first electric saloon will act as the premium brand’s flagship, sharing much of its underpinnings with the tech-rich new EX90 SUV. It will undercut the SUV significantly, with prices starting from around £70,000. Its slippery shape should give it a range in excess of 400 miles. Read more about the Volvo ES90
