2024 has been a busy year for the EV market. It’s seen the arrival of some of the most affordable and accessible EVs on the market, with the arrival of budget EVs such as the updated Dacia Spring. We saw the launch of design icons such as the Renault 5, while EV range continued to improve – with some new models now cracking the 400 mile mark. Meanwhile, Jaguar rounded out the year by becoming the most talked about manufacturer in recent months, with its contentious rebrand and subsequent EV concept reveal.
Despite the bumper year that 2024 has been for the EV industry, 2025 is looking equally exciting – with a wealth of EVs set to come to market in both 2025 and the following years.
Here are the EVs we’re most looking forward to in 2025 (and a little further than that):
Alpine A390
Renault Group’s dedicated performance arm, Alpine, is set to appeal to an ever wider audience, bringing an SUV-coupe EV to market that combines both high levels of performance and practicality. It’ll be the second EV to come out of Alpine, following the A290 hot hatch.
We saw the A390_β concept car earlier this year, giving us a hint of what the final product will look like – although we can expect the exterior and interior design to be toned down a little. Its unique B-pillarless design could still make it into production, however.
There’s no word on performance figures yet, but considering it’ll pack a tri-motor setup, it should be able to give some of the best performance EVs a run for their money.
Dodge Charger Daytona Electric
Dodge’s legendary Charger muscle car, a model which has been in production for nearly 60 years, is entering the electric era. For the first time in the history of the car, it won’t be offered with a petrol V8 – instead, an electric motor setup will offer up to 670 horsepower, and a 0-60mph time of 3.3 seconds, depending on the specification chosen.
Like other performance EVs such as the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N, the Charger Daytona pumps fake engine sounds out of the rear. It seems unlikely that the Charger Daytona will be sold officially outside of North America, but that won’t stop some from importing one – all without the guilt of a gas-guzzling V8.
Audi A4 Electric
Due on sale by the end of 2025, Audi’s A4 will be designated as an electric-only model. Inheriting the impressive cruising ability of its predecessors, the A4 will likely be a rival to smaller electric saloons like the Tesla Model 3 and the BMW i4.
Audi hasn’t divulged many details about the electric A4, but judging by the specifications of existing all-electric Audis, expect a range somewhere north of 350 miles. Pricing is likely to start above £40,000 / $50,000.
Jaguar GT
While it won’t be launched until 2026, Jaguar’s first EV set to come out of its rebrand is another EV we’re looking forward to in the near future. Whilst Jaguar have revealed photos of the ‘Type 00’ concept that will inspire the design of the final product, it remains to be seen how much of that design will make its way to the final product. An on the road prototype, however, suggests the overall shape will remain true.
Once on sale by 2026, expect Jaguar’s grand tourer (which is yet to be given a model name) to start around the £100,000 / $125,000 mark, which will put it squarely against high-end EVs like the Porsche Taycan and Mercedes-Benz EQS.
BMW iX3
A rehauled version of BMW’s electric midsize SUV, the iX3, is also set to arrive in 2025. Crucially, it’ll be the first BMW model to adopt its ‘Neue Klasse’ design language, which is set to be adopted on all new electric BMW models – representing a new era of mobility for the manufacturer.
The Neue Klasse X concept, revealed earlier this year, gives us an idea of what the future iX3 will look like. It’s certainly a radical design departure from the current model.
