We’ve driven a lot of cool new EVs at InsideEVs this year — everything from sporty cars like the new Lotus Emeya to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N to family crossovers like the Kia EV9. But the most intriguing car is often the one we haven’t met yet. A profusion of new EVs will be debuting over the next couple of years. Here are some of the ones we are most excited about.
2024-25
2026 Alfa Romeo Giulia Rendering
Alfa Romeo Giulia EV
Alfa Romeo revived its brand in the U.S. with the Giulia sedan and its legendary (and legendarily mercurial) Quadrifoglio version. Nearly a decade later, we’re finally getting a new version. It will be all-electric and may be heavily related to the Dodge Charger Daytona EV.

The Q6 E-Tron is Audi’s first vehicle on the new Premium Performance Electric Platform shared with the Porsche Macan EV. It’s an all-electric dual-motor crossover that can deliver up to 456 horsepower with launch control. Audi is planning a full lineup with SQ6, RS Q6 and Sportback versions.
Audi A6 E-Tron
The next phase of Audi’s EV revolution is having typical Audis go electric. It may not get more typical Audi than the A6 sedan, which is going electric as the A6 E-Tron. It may not end up looking too different than Audi’s current crop of conservatively styled EVs. However, it could pack dramatically more range on Audi’s new PPE platform.

The Escalade nameplate has been perhaps the mainstay in the often-evolving Cadillac lineup this century. And Cadillac is taking it into the electric era with the Escalade IQ. It doesn’t look as boxy as the gas model. But it should bring the same combination of luxury and space into the EV world (for a premium). And with up to 750 horsepower in Velocity Max mode, buyers won’t miss the V8.

Cadillac is adding an entry-level “iq” car to the lineup, the Optiq. It’s an all-electric compact crossover built on the Ultium Platform. It’s not that much cheaper than the Lyriq, with Cadillac estimating a $54,000 starting price. But it will come well-equipped with dual-motor AWD, around 300 miles of range and three years of Super Cruise standard.
Cadillac also has another “iq” SUV joining the lineup, the Vistiq. It will be a three-row electric SUV. Cadillac hasn’t revealed a lot of the details yet; a tailgate badge suggests it is getting the Lyriq’s 500 hp powertrain. But expect it to be the electric equivalent of the XT6 slotting below the Escalade IQ for price and performance.

Dodge Charger Daytona EV
Dodge is ditching its HEMI V8s for the “eMuscle” era with the Charger Daytona, promising “kilowatts and Power Shots.” Dodge is launching two 400V dual-motor AWD versions offering up to 670 horsepower (Scat Pack) and 317 miles of EV range (R/T). For those not quite ready to go EV, Dodge is also building inline-six powered Chargers.

GMC is launching its second electric truck after the Hummer EV SUT: the Sierra EV. It will be sold initially in the Sierra Denali EV Edition 1 version, and its specs are impressive. The truck will offer up to 754 horsepower and 440 miles of range (enough to still tow while experiencing substantial losses) with 350kW fast charging to refill on the go.

Hyundai Ioniq 9
Kia’s three-row EV9 electric SUV has been a massive hit, taking home almost every award it has been up for. But nearly four years after Hyundai unveiled the concept car, we’re still waiting for its version, likely called the Ioniq 9. It won’t be as out there as the concept, which had rear-hinged coach doors, lounge seating and a glass tailgate. But it should, like the EV9, offer a compelling electric option for families.

Jeep’s first EV is the Wagoneer S. It’s launching to rival the Tesla Model Y on Stellantis’s STLA Large platform with 600 horsepower and an estimated 300-plus miles of range. For anyone missing the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, the Wagoneer S will actually be quicker, with a 0-60 mph time of 3.4 seconds.

Jeep Recon
Jeep is waiting until 2028 to build a full-bore electric Wrangler. But the brand will offer the next best thing in the interim, the Recon. The Recon is a boxy SUV “inspired by the Wrangler” built on the STLA Large platform. It should have removable doors and off-road-ready versions that earn Jeep’s Trail Rated badge. Jeep may also offer a combustion option.

Mini Countryman Electric
Mini is following up the Mini Cooper SE with the Mini Countryman SE, an electric version of its subcompact crossover. It comes with a peppy 313 hp and 363 lb-ft of torque. And a Mini-estimated 245 miles of range would more than double the Cooper SE’s 114 miles.

Porsche Macan EV
Porsche’s most popular car is the Macan, and it’s going electric for the next generation (though Porsche will still sell the combustion version alongside it). It has been delayed a bit due to VW software issues. But it should be worth the wait with a Turbo version packing more than 630 hp and a (by Porsche standards) reasonable starting price. Though the options will bite.

Porsche Electric 718
Porsche is reportedly killing off the combustion 718 Cayman and Boxster for 2025. The replacement will be an all-electric sports car. We don’t have the full details yet. But it should ride on the same platform as the electric Macan. And the performance numbers, potentially exceeding 600 horsepower in top spec, could be eye-popping.

Ram is the last of the Big Three coming to the full-size electric pickup truck party. But the truck won’t be least in the specs department. Ram is promising that the truck will deliver up to 500 miles of EV range with its massive 229 kWh battery pack. It can also tow up to 14,000 pounds and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.

Range Rover Electric
Land Rover’s first EV will be the Range Rover Electric. JLR has not given us the full info dump yet. But we know it will have an 800V architecture, have a wading depth of 33.46 inches (about on par with a Defender on coil springs or a Ford Bronco Sasquatch and, importantly, look very much like the combustion Range Rover.

It was only a matter of time before VW’s EV blitz leaned into the brand’s nostalgia. And the brand is finally bringing the ID. Buzz, a modern all-electric nod to the Type 2 Microbus, to America. The U.S. is getting the pricier long-wheelbase version with three available trims, both RWD and AWD and up to seven seats with the RWD model.

Volvo perked up some ears when it announced the EX30. It’s a pint-sized electric crossover. In AWD spec, it’s the quickest Volvo ever made with a 3.4-second 0 to 60 mph time. Fitted with RWD, Volvo has said it will be the cheapest Volvo on the road with a price tag starting under $35,000. Tariffs on Chinese-built cars, however, have moved EX30 production and put the American release date and eventual price tag in doubt.

Volvo’s flagship vehicle is the XC90, a stately, practical three-row SUV. Volvo is quite sensibly recreating that in the EV space with the EX90. It seats up to seven, can pack nearly 500 horsepower and delivers around 300 miles of range. Having entered production in America, the EX90 should arrive soon, though it may be missing a few features when it arrives.

BMW Electric 3 Series
The 3 Series arguably defined the modern BMW brand in the late 20th century. It should help redefine it in the 21st century by going all-electric on the new Neue Klasse dedicated EV platform. And BMW appears to have been testing a quad-motor setup for a full-fat M version.
GM killed off the Bolt just as it was becoming popular. But the nameplate should be making a swift return at a similar price point. We don’t have the precise specs yet, but switching to GM’s newer Ultium battery tech should make the new Bolt EUV faster to charge and cheaper to produce.
Ford Project T3 Pickup
Ford was the first of the big three to the EV truck market with the F-150 Lightning. But that truck, a modified version of the combustion F-150, is effectively dated tech. GM and Ram have new, more capable trucks arriving on dedicated EV platforms. Ford has confirmed it is designing a new EV pickup, codenamed Project T3 for “Trust the Truck,” to match them, though that truck has been delayed.

Genesis GV90
Genesis is developing its own flagship, three-row version of the Kia EV9, likely called the GV90. Earlier this year, Genesis offered a preview of it with the Neolun concept. Judging from previous Genesis EVs, we can expect a power upgrade over the EV9 and some fancier interior finishes.

Rivian has proved it can make a compelling, luxurious, capable electric SUV that consumers love. Its next task is more significant: Build one that most people can afford. That’s where the Rivian R2 comes in. The R2 is a compact electric SUV, similar in size to the Tesla Model Y, with a target price of around $45,000 before incentives. Rivian says the R2 will enter production in the first half of 2026. They will initially be built at Rivian’s existing production facility in Normal, Illinois.

Rivian debuted its long-awaited R2 platform. But the car that arguably stole the show was the surprise debut of the smaller R3. It resembles a retro-futuristic rally car with Lada Niva and Lancia Delta Integrale vibes. And it may bring Rivian EV tech to the masses with a price tag starting below $40,000.

The Rivian R3X is a slightly more rugged, adventure-focused variant of Rivian’s upcoming R3 hatchback. Rivian describes the R3X as “a performance variant of R3 offering even more dynamic abilities both on and off-road.”
The base R3 will be the smallest, most affordable vehicle in the lineup and is estimated to have a starting MSRP under $40,000.
The R3X pricing is expected to be a step above that, with unofficial numbers pegging it around $45,000. If this turns out to be accurate, it would put the top trim R3X in the same price bracket as an entry-level R2.

Polestar fleshed out its lineup this year with the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 crossovers. Next up should be the Polestar 5, a flagship all-electric sedan. It has climbed the hill at Goodwood in prototype form, with more than 800 horsepower. It should be a compelling competitor to the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan.

Polestar 6
Polestar stunned just about everyone with the 02 convertible concept. And it’s going to be a production car, the Polestar 6. It should pack nearly 900 horsepower and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds. It will have a fancy bonded aluminum unibody construction. An L.A. Special Edition will come with that fancy sky blue paint.

Porsche 3-Row Electric SUV
Porsche is launching its first three-row, seven-seater production vehicle, codenamed “K1.” It will be a new flagship SUV that slots above the Cayenne. It will be all-electric with a low-slung body style described as part-sedan and part-crossover. It should seat up to seven passengers. Expect it to be Porsche’s most expensive car.
Toyota bZ5X
Toyota has confirmed it has a new three-row electric crossover — think Highlander but electric — coming to rival the Kia EV9. Toyota may have previewed it with its bZ Large SUV concept. We don’t know its name yet. We know it will be built in Indiana (alongside a Lexus version) and have a good shot at being eligible for the $7,500 tax credit.

Volvo ES90
Volvo plans to go all-electric by 2030. That will require getting a lot more EVs on the road. One of them should be a sedan, likely called the ES90, that will replace the current S90 sedan. Leaked documents suggest it should share substantial componentry with the three-row EX90 crossover.
