This article spotlights some of the most anticipated electric cars that are expected to hit the market, each bringing something unique to the table.
The Alpine A390 is set to make waves with its introduction. This model symbolizes a pivotal moment for the performance brand, offering a glimpse into how the company might balance its traditional values of agility and lightness with the demands of modern electric performance. The A390 boasts a bespoke triple-motor setup, delivering 464bhp and 808Nm of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds. Its design focuses on managing torque vectoring to ensure the car feels nimble and light, despite its substantial weight.
BMW is on the cusp of a new era with the next-generation iX3, which is part of the 'Neue Klasse' movement. Due to debut at the Munich Motor Show, the iX3 is poised to set new standards with its Panoramic iDrive system, scalable platform, and advanced battery technology. This model aims to redefine efficiency and driving experience through its innovative 800V electrical architecture and lighter e-motors. Meanwhile, the Ferrari Elettrica is another noteworthy contender. Despite Ferrari's reputation for gasoline prowess, the Elettrica marks the brand's ambitious leap into the electric future, featuring virtual-gearbox technology and a choice of driving soundtracks to enhance the driving experience.
Hyundai continues to build on its EV success with the Ioniq 6 N, an ultra-streamlined saloon that promises to compete with the likes of the BMW M3. The model's chassis and suspension have been reengineered to accommodate its powerful dual-motor setup, capable of producing 641bhp. This power, combined with adaptive dampers and the N Launch Control function, allows the Ioniq 6 N to accelerate from 0-62mph in a swift 3.2 seconds. Moreover, Nissan is reinventing its iconic Leaf with the Mk3 version. This transformation into a sleek coupé-SUV promises extended range capabilities, with up to 375 miles on a single charge, without sacrificing practicality.
Peugeot's return to the hot hatch segment is marked by the E-208 GTi, reviving the beloved GTi badge. This electric hatchback offers impressive performance with its 276bhp motor and advanced handling features, including a mechanical limited-slip differential. The steering is said to be more responsive, and the car promises an immersive onboard experience. Polestar, meanwhile, is ready to unveil the Polestar 5, a flagship GT developed in the UK. This model is built on a unique bonded-aluminium chassis, providing a blend of reduced weight and increased stiffness, while its dual motors deliver a potent 874bhp.
Porsche is set to challenge perceptions of what an electric sports car can be with its upcoming electric Boxster. This model will utilize a bespoke platform, aiming to replicate the dynamics of a mid-engined sports car with a mid-mounted battery setup. Similarly, Land Rover is entering the electric arena with the Range Rover Electric, equipped with a massive 118kWh battery and dual e-motors. Despite its size, the Range Rover Electric is engineered to maintain its renowned off-road capability while offering a serene and refined driving experience.
Volkswagen's ID.2 is poised to democratize electric mobility with its accessible price point and familiar styling. Set to debut at the Munich Motor Show, the ID.2 promises to bring quality improvements and a return to physical controls, addressing customer feedback. As part of Volkswagen's commitment to affordability, the ID.2 is expected to be priced around £20k, setting a new standard for budget-friendly EVs. This model will be accompanied by the sportier Cupra Raval supermini and the Skoda Epiq, expanding the range of accessible electric vehicles in the market.
