Future EVs: Every Electric Vehicle Coming Soon

Electric cars are the future, and each year we've seen automakers add more EVs to their lineups. Everyone is working on electric vehicles, from well-established existing manufacturers to new names such as Lucid, Slate, and Rivian. We've compiled a list of every electric vehicle, from concept to production, that isn't available yet but will be soon.Acura RSX (Expected: Second Half of 2026)Acura's first EV, the ZDX, is built on the bones of the Chevrolet Blazer EV, but Acura's next electric crossover will roll on a new electric architecture developed by parent company Honda. The new SUV will revive the RSX name from the early 2000s and wear a sloping roofline for a coupe-like profile, previewed by a sharply styled RSX prototype. The RSX's sporty bodywork will be paired with a potent dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain. The RSX's platform will be shared with Honda's 0-series EVs and the RSX will also be the first vehicle to use Honda's new operating system, ASIMO OS. The SUV will be built at Honda's new facility in Ohio and will launch in the second half of 2026.MIRO - Car and DriverAfeela 1 (Expected: 2026)Honda has partnered up with Sony—yes, the same folks responsible for the PlayStation—for a new brand called Afeela. Its first model, the not-so-creatively named Afeela 1, is set to arrive in 2026. The sedan's focus is technology, packing an array of screens across the dashboard and a suite of 40 sensors that feed a Level 2+ driver assistance system. The Afeela 1 will come with all-wheel-drive thanks to a pair of 241-hp electric motors and Afeela is aiming for a range of 300 miles. Sales will initially be restricted to California and the only model offered in 2026 will be the $102,900 Signature trim, with the $89,900 Origin trim arriving in 2027. —Caleb MillerAfeelaAlfa Romeo Giulia EV (Expected: 2028)Alfa Romeo has confirmed the gas-powered Giulia (seen above) will be revamped in the coming years with an electric powertrain. We expect the base version will make around 350 horsepower, while the Veloce will produce closer to 800 horsepower. The top-of-the-line Giulia will continue to carry the historic Quadrifoglio name and should make upward of 1000 horsepower. The new Giulia will be produced on the Stellantis Group's STLA Large platform, with 800-volt, ultra-rapid charging and a range of up to 500 miles. Recent rumors suggest the Giulia, like the 2025 Dodge Charger, will also be offered with combustion engines. —Jack FitzgeraldAlfa RomeoAlfa Romeo Stelvio EV (Expected: 2027)Before the next-generation Giulia arrives, Alfa Romeo will launch a new Stelvio. Like Alfa's upcoming sedan, the Stelvio will ride on the STLA Large platform and come with both electric and hybrid powertrains. The electric SUV has been delayed, however, and isn't likely to arrive in the United States until 2027.Illustration by Avarvarii - Car and DriverAlpine EVs (Expected: 2030)Alpine, the French subsidiary of Renault known for lightweight sports cars, plans to enter the U.S. market later this decade with a lineup of EVs. The charge could be spearheaded by the compact A390, a slinky fastback crossover with a tri-motor powertrain with up to 470 hp and 595 pound-feet of torque. The A390 will likely be joined by a more wagon-like A490, an electric successor to the A110 coupe, and eventually the Porsche Taycan-rivaling A310. While the U.S. launch of Alpine’s EVs was originally planned for 2027, the automaker said that the introduction of high tariffs on imported cars by the Trump administration will likely cause Alpine to delay its plans.AlpineAudi TT EV (Expected: 2027)Audi plans to launch a new electric sports car in 2027, previewed by the radical Concept C. Audi says the new sports car, which is roughly the same length as a Porsche 911, will sit somewhere between the TT and R8 in terms of performance and will usher in a new design language. Inside, the Concept C shows Audi embracing a return to physical controls, and the concept even features a screen that can completely tuck away when not in use. Details on the powertrain remain sparse, but the Concept C was designed as rear-wheel drive, and we expect it to share a platform with the upcoming Porsche 718 EV. Audi has confirmed that the production car will also offer a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant as well, and the RWD concept is said to weigh 3726 pounds.AudiBentley EV SUV (Expected: 2027)Bentley's first EV will be revealed in 2026, and the luxury automaker is calling it a "luxury urban SUV" that will slot below the gas-powered Bentayga in the luxury automaker's lineup. Although Bentley calls the EV "compact," the new model will still carry imposing proportions, measuring up to 197 inches long. A concept car called the EXP 15 previews the Bentley EV's styling, with a bold, squared-off front end, a long hood, and a decadent cabin. The electric SUV may use the same platform as the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV, and sales of the Bentley EV should kick off for the 2027 model year.BentleyBMW i3 (Expected: 2027)BMW will reveal an electric version of the iconic long-running BMW 3-Series in 2026 called the i3, which was originally previewed by the Neue Klasse concept revealed in 2023. The i3 will sport a new design language with a funky evolution of the classic kidney grille. We expect the sedan to share much of its powertrain with the iX3 SUV, which means over 400 hp and around 400 miles of range. The i3 should go on sale in the U.S. in 2027 and will be sold alongside the gas-powered 3-series for the foreseeable future.BMWBMW iM3 (Expected: 2027)The upcoming electric version of the BMW 3-series will also spawn an all-electric M3, which will likely become the first full-fat electric M car when it arrives in 2027. The iM3, as we expect it to be called, will ride on BMW's next-generation EV platform featuring an 800-volt electrical architecture. A quad-motor powertrain should churn out well over 600 horsepower and ensure that the iM3 is appropriately rapid. But the electric M3 will have to be more than just quick—BMW needs to make the iM3 engaging to drive if it expects to capture the attention of enthusiasts, especially since it will live alongside the gas-powered M3 for several years.Illustration by Avarvarii - Car and DriverBMW iX3 (Expected: Summer 2026)The BMW iX3 arrives as an electric counterpart to the brand's popular X3 SUV and ushers in an unorthodox new design language, with a thinner interpretation of the iconic "kidney" grille that harkens back to classics like the 2002. The iX3 will arrive in the U.S. with a dual-motor variant producing 463 hp, enough for the SUV to scoot to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. A 109-kWh battery is expected to provide close to 400 miles of range and will be able to charge at up to 400 kilowatts. Inside, the iX3 debuts a new dashboard setup, where a thin darkened strip along the bottom of the windshield serves as a 43-inch, full-width head-up display that replaces a conventional gauge cluster. A 17.9-inch touchscreen handles all of the main infotainment duties. Sales will start in the summer of 2026.BMWBMW i5 M (Expected: 2026)Fender flares, a more aggressive stance, and 1136 horsepower will combine to produce the upcoming BMW i5 M, which won't arrive before 2026. The new high-performance four-motor drivetrain will incorporate wheel-by-wheel torque vectoring and brake-by-motor energy regeneration and will be capable of piloted drifting and tank turns where the vehicle can use its prodigious torque output to spin in place. While the more subdued i5 has already debuted—with its own set of high-performance batteries, active steering, and suspension fit for the Nürburgring—we can't help but keep our focus on the angrier i5 M with a drive control unit that's being referred to internally as the "Hand of God." Take the wheel, Jesus. —Austin IrwinIllustration by Christian Schulte - Car and DriverBMW iX5 (Expected: 2027)BMW will continue electrifying its lineup with the iX5, an electric counterpart to the mid-size X5 SUV. Instead of using the Neue Klasse platform underpinning the iX3, the iX5 will use an adaptation of BMW's CLAR platform—currently found beneath the iX electric SUV—which will allow an updated gas-powered X5 to coexist with its electric sibling. The iX5 will feature a next-generation battery with better energy density. The electric SUV should be revealed in late 2026 and go on sale in the U.S. in 2027. BMW is also planning a version with a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain—co-developed with Toyota—that may become a reality before the end of the decade. —Caleb MillerBMWBuick Electra E5 (Expected: 2026)Buick revived the nameplate of the 18-foot-long steel sled from 1959 for its new all-electric SUV that's already been on sale in China. The Electra E5 uses GM's Ultium battery platform and is roughly the same size as a Chevy Blazer. An investigation into trademarks may have revealed Buick's future lineup, with filings for Electra E1 through E9. While Buick had originally planned to reveal its first EV in 2024, the vehicle has now been delayed, with the Electra E5's arrival possibly hampered by tariffs on Chinese-built EVs. It's unclear how this change in plans will affect Buick's hopes to put its tri-shield logo atop a fully electric lineup by 2030. —Austin IrwinBuickChevrolet Bolt (Expected: Q1 2026)After a brief absence, the Chevy Bolt returns for the 2027 model year. While the egg-shaped body is essentially the same as the previous EUV, the front and rear end styling have been revised. Underneath, the Bolt gets a new 210-hp front-mounted motor and a 65-kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery. Chevy claims a 255-mile range, only a slight improvement over the 2023 EUV's 247-mile rating. Charging speeds are vastly better, however, up from just 55 kilowatts to 150 kilowatts. The cabin also gets freshened with larger screens, while retaining physical climate controls. Prices will start at $28,995 when sales kick off in early 2026, but Chevy says the new Bolt will only stick around "for a little longer."ChevroletChrysler EV Crossover (Expected: 2027)With the success of the Ford Mustang Mach-E in its crosshairs, Chrysler has confirmed an electric crossover is arriving soon. The automaker also said that the upcoming EV will differ from the Airflow concept, pictured here. Rumors suggest a 400-mile driving range and Level 3 autonomous driving capability, and we think the electric crossover will be closely related to the upcoming Jeep Wagoneer S. Chrysler, which currently offers the Pacifica minivan, has announced plans to go fully electric by 2028 and may later add an electric sedan based on the Halcyon concept. —Austin IrwinChryslerFerrari EV (Expected: 2026)Ferrari is readying its first fully electric car, which will debut in early 2026. Spy shots show a low-riding but crossover-like profile, and Ferrari has confirmed that it will have four doors, a 116.5-inch wheelbase (slightly shorter than the Purosangue), and will weigh a bit less than 5100 pounds. The Ferrari EV will likely be incredibly expensive and immensely quick, with a quad-motor powertrain producing around 1000 horsepower, delivering a claimed zero-to-62-mph time of 2.5 seconds. Ferrari says it will top out at 193 mph. The Elettrica will have an 800-volt architecture and a 122-kWh battery that can charge at up to 350 kilowatts. Ferrari claims over 330 miles of range on the European WLTP test, which should translate to around 280 miles in the U.S. More details will continue to trickle out ahead of the full reveal in 2026.Illustration by Avarvarii - Car and DriverFord Mid-Size Truck (Expected: 2027)Ford announced plans for a new Universal EV platform that will spawn a range of vehicles, starting with a mid-size pickup truck. While Ford says the truck's overall footprint will be closer to that of the compact Maverick, the company claims the interior space will be on par with the Toyota RAV4. Most details are still secret, but Ford did say the platform will feature a 400-volt electrical architecture and lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to keep costs down, although this could lead to less range and slower charging speeds than its competitors. Ford is also promising rapid acceleration and a rear-wheel-drive setup, although we expect all-wheel drive to also be available. Ford aims to sell the truck with a starting price of around $30,000, with production set to begin in Kentucky in 2027.FordFord Project T3 (Expected: 2028)Ford had originally intended to launch its next-generation electric truck—codenamed Project T3—for 2025, before the company delayed the pickup's arrival to the second half of 2027. Now the truck has been delayed yet again until 2028 as Ford focuses on launching a smaller and more affordable truck by 2027. When it does show up, the T3 will ride on a new platform that supports the expanded use of over-the-air updates, and it will be built at the new BlueOval City campus in Tennessee. Few details are known about the truck, and it's unclear if it will be a direct successor to the F-150 Lightning or play in a different segment.FordFord Electric Van (Expected: 2028)Ford has been working on a new electric van as a successor to the E-Transit (pictured here), which is expected to use a dedicated EV platform instead of being adapted from a gas-powered van. The new van, however, has been delayed multiple times: it was originally scheduled to launch in the middle of this decade, before the plans shifted to 2026 and then again to 2028. The van is set to be built in Ohio, and very little information is currently available about the E-Transit's successor.FordGenesis GV60 Magma (Expected: 2026)Genesis has cooked up a new performance subbrand, Magma, to take on stalwarts like BMW M and Mercedes-AMG, and the electric GV60 Magma is its first fighter to enter the ring. Closely related to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV6 GT, the GV60 Magma produces a maximum of 641 hp and 583 pound-feet of torque in 15-second bursts thanks to a boost mode. The rest of the time, output is still an impressive 601 hp and 546 pound-feet of torque, and the Magma also gains retuned adaptive dampers and better brakes. The GV60 Magma is set to arrive in the United States at some point in 2026.GenesisGenesis GV90 (Expected: 2026)Rumors of Genesis's electric flagship SUV were effectively confirmed when the automaker revealed the opulent Neolun concept ahead of the 2024 New York auto show. Expected to use the name GV90, the large SUV will share its underpinnings with the Kia EV9 and the upcoming production version of the Hyundai Ioniq 7. The GV90 should eke out around 250 miles of range and produce roughly 500 horsepower from a pair of electric motors. But the real focus will be inside, and if the purple quilted leather and ornate trim of the Neolun concept is any indication, the cabin is going to be a relaxing and luscious place to be. —Caleb MillerGenesisHonda 0 Saloon (Expected: Late 2026)After partnering with GM on the Prologue, Honda is preparing its own electric platform for a new EV due in 2026. Previewed by the 0 Saloon prototype, the EV has a futuristic torpedo-like silhouette, and Honda says the sleek profile will reach production, with a roofline two inches lower than the current Accord. We recently drove a prototype of the 0 Series model, Honda is targeting a range of 300 miles and suggested that the 0 Series will come with an array of rear- and all-wheel-drive setups. The platform will pack a new high-density battery that the automaker claims will recharge from 15 to 80 percent in 10 to 15 minutes and is supposed to be more resistant to degradation, with Honda aiming for the capacity to decline by only 10 percent over 10 years. —Caleb MillerHondaHonda 0 SUV (Expected: first half of 2026)Honda's 0-series EVs based on its new electric platform will kick off with the 0 SUV, shown here in prototype form, which is due to go on sale starting in the first half of 2026. Not many technical details have been revealed, but the 0 SUV should be able to travel around 300 miles on a charge and will pack a new high-density battery that should allow for quick recharging. Honda has shown off its next-generation electric motors in both 241-hp and 67-hp form, so we expect some combination of these motors to supply all-wheel drive. Honda's 0-series models will also debut a new operating system called ASIMO OS.HondaHyundai Ioniq 6 N (Expected: 2026)Hyundai is adding a high-performance version of its sleek Ioniq 6 sedan for the 2026 model year, with the Ioniq 6 N packing the same potent powertrain as its Ioniq 5 N sibling. That means a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup that produces 601 hp, but has a boost function that ups the ante to 641 hp for 10 seconds. The Ioniq 6 N will rip to 60 mph in a claimed 3.2 seconds. Like the Ioniq 5 N, the sport sedan can simulate engine noise and gearshifts. Visually, the Ioniq 6 N rocks a swan-neck rear wing, wider fenders, and a more aggressive front splitter. The Ioniq 6 N is expected to go on sale in 2026 with a starting price of around $60,000.HyundaiHyundai Electric Van (Expected: 2028)Hyundai and General Motors recently announced a partnership that will birth several new vehicles, and while most of these products are focused on the South American market, the two automotive giants will team up for a new electric van for the United States. The van will be built in the U.S. starting in 2028, and both Hyundai and Chevy are expected to offer their own versions of the van, sharing a platform but sporting unique interior and exterior designs. Most details should come out as the production date nears. (The Hyundai ST1, an electric van sold overseas, is pictured here.)HyundaiInfiniti QXe (Expected: 2028)Despite several concept cars over the years, Infiniti's first EV isn't set to arrive until 2028. The production car will be an SUV that takes inspiration from the 2023 Vision QXe concept and will be closely related to a Nissan EV launching in late 2027. The Vision QXe never got a full reveal, but shadowy teaser photos show ornate, jewel-like lighting and a smooth, sleek body. Very little is known about the 2028 QXe at the moment, with more details set to emerge over the next couple of years.INFINITIJaguar EV (Expected: Late 2026)Jaguar is reinventing itself as an exclusive, high-end luxury EV brand, starting with a four-door grand tourer that will enter production in late 2026. Few details are known about the new car—which could be called the I-Type—but testing began on public roads in November 2024. Photos of the camouflaged prototype reveal a large, imposing sedan shape and the design should hew closely to the polarizing Type 00 concept car. Jaguar is targeting an EPA-estimated range of at least 430 miles and the ability to add 200 miles of range in 15 minutes on a fast-charger. The Jaguar EV should cost over $100,000 and could produce up to 986 horsepower. —Caleb MillerJaguarJeep Recon (Expected: Early 2026)Been waiting for an all-electric Jeep Wrangler? The Recon isn't exactly that, but it's well-equipped for off-roading and has a removable roof and doors. The Recon has 9.1 inches of ground clearance and can ford up to 24 inches of water, and every Recon comes with an electronically locking rear differential and 33-inch all-terrain tires. Two electric motors produce 650 hp and 620 pound-feet of torque, with a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 3.6 seconds. The 94-kWh battery is part of a 400-volt electrical system, with range for the initial Moab trim estimated at just 230 miles. Another variant will arrive later with 250 miles of range, Jeep says. After two years of delays, Jeep says the Recon will finally go on sale in early 2026.JeepKia EV3 (Expected: 2026)Kia plans to follow up its 10Best-award-winning EV6 and EV9 with the compact EV3, expected to reach the U.S. in 2026. The production car retains the concept's funky exterior design but tones down the cabin with a simple, spacious layout that utilizes recycled fabrics on the dashboard and door panels. Powertrain details are still murky, but Kia says the long-range variant will eke out 350 miles from an 81.4-kWh battery. Front-wheel drive is standard—with a 0-62-mph time for single-motor models of 7.5 seconds—but we expect all-wheel-drive versions to be revealed later. The EV3 could cost as little as $30,000. —Caleb MillerKiaKia EV Truck (Expected: 2029)Kia broke into the pickup truck market when it launched the boldly styled Tasman last year, and while that truck isn’t destined for the U.S. market, the automaker confirmed in 2025 that it is working on an electric pickup for North America. Not many details have been confirmed, but we know the mid-size truck will ride on a new electric platform and that Kia claims it will have a "robust towing system" and "best-in-class interior and cargo space." We don't expect it to arrive until the end of the decade, and an uncertain market for EVs and constantly changing tariffs could lead to its demise.KiaLamborghini Lanzador (Expected: 2029)Lamborghini is preparing to bid arrivederci to V-12 sonnets and V-10 ballads, ushering in a new era of electric supercars that offer the same level of emotion and driving gusto. Cue the Lanzador, Lamborghini's lifted 2+2 EV grand tourer that looks like the lovechild of the rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato and the Urus SUV. The concept comes with two doors, bulging fender flares, and distinct Lambo styling. It'll feature an electric motor on each axle producing a combined 1341 horsepower. There's no word yet on battery size or range. We expect pricing to be comparably expensive to other Lamborghinis—think $300,000 or more. —Jack FitzgeraldLamborghiniLand Rover Range Rover EV (Expected: 2026)The first electric Range Rover will be unveiled later this year with an 800-volt architecture and the ability to wade through up to 33.4 inches of water. It is expected to share its appearance largely with the gas-powered Range Rover, which is no surprise given that the two models will share a platform, with the current Range Rover designed with EVs in mind. We're still waiting for most of the mechanical details like power figures and range numbers, but diehard fans can put their names on a waitlist now before the pre-order books officially open. —Jack FitzgeraldLand RoverLexus LFA (Expected: 2029)Lexus is gearing up for another supercar, a sentence that demands our attention. Their last attempt, the LFA, made an undeniable impression with its screaming V-10 engine. While the next LFA, previewed by a new concept, will share a platform with the hybrid GR GT, the Lexus will be electric. We predict around 1000 horsepower and acceleration to 60 mph in the low-two-second range. Solid-state batteries, which Toyota aims to launch by the end of the decade, could achieve up to 430 miles of range. Lexus is also considering a simulated manual transmission with a clutch pedal and shifter to increase driver engagement.LexusLexus TZ (Expected: 2027)Lexus, like its parent company Toyota, has been slow to enter the EV market, but its first attempt, the RZ crossover, is set to be followed by a new three-row SUV within the next few years. The luxury automaker has filed trademark applications for the name "TZ" in Europe, and we expect the electric three-row to serve as a counterpart to the gas-powered TX. The Lexus will share its platform with a three-row Toyota crossover, and may look similar to the Electrified SUV concept from 2021.LexusLexus ES EV (Expected: 2026)The Lexus ES midsize sedan has been thoroughly overhauled for the 2026 model year and will now offer the choice of either hybrid or fully electric powertrains. The EV will come as either the front-wheel-drive ES350e—with 221 hp and a zero-to-62-mph time of 8.9 seconds—or the all-wheel-drive ES500e, with 338 hp and a zero-to-62-mph time of 5.9 seconds. Lexus says the single-motor ES350e will have a 300-mile range, but didn't provide an estimate for the ES500e. Sales will start in the U.S. at some point in 2026, where the Lexus ES EV will go up against the Audi A6 e-tron, Lucid Air, and BMW i5.LexusLotus Type 135 (Expected: 2027)Whether or not Colin Chapman's ghost agrees, Lotus's future is electric. The brand will need a successor for the Emira, a two-seat sports car targeted at Lotus's normal clientele, albeit with an electric powertrain. Referred to internally as the Type 135, the new model's goal will align with historical Lotus products, aiming to simplify and add lightness via the new Lightweight Electric Vehicle Architecture (LEVA) platform. Performance could be similar to the recently revealed Lotus Theory 1 concept, suggesting an all-wheel-drive platform producing close to 1000 horsepower. Production was expected to start in the next two years, but Lotus boss Matt Windle said in May 2025 that the project was on hold while Lotus reconsiders demand for electric sports cars. —Jack FitzgeraldLotusLucid Earth (Expected: Late 2026)The Lucid Air sedan has been joined by the Gravity SUV, but the fledgling American startup plans to expand its lineup further in late 2026 with a smaller, cheaper crossover. Lucid's CEO confirmed the brand is working on a mid-size electric SUV that will start at around $48,000. A teaser image shows a similarly sleek look to the Air and Gravity. Production would take place at Lucid's second Advanced Manufacturing Plant in Saudi Arabia. Lucid trademarked the name "Earth" recently, which could adorn the upcoming crossover. The SUV will be one of three new vehicles on the new mid-size platform.—Caleb MillerLucidMercedes-Benz GLC-class EV (Expected: Late 2026)Mercedes-Benz will challenge the BMW iX3 with the new GLC-class EV, an electric version of the company's second-best-selling model. Despite sharing its name with the gas-powered GLC, the electric version rides on a new platform with a longer wheelbase and a unique design, highlighted by the giant illuminated grille. Two powertrains are available: a 483-hp dual-motor setup or a 369-hp, single-motor rear-wheel-drive model. An 800-volt electrical system will provide rapid recharging, while we expect the maximum range from the 94-kWh battery to land around 375 miles. Inside, Mercedes will offer a humongous 39.1-inch screen that stretches the length of the dashboard. Sales begin in late 2026.Mercedes-BenzMercedes-AMG GT XX EV (Expected: 2026)Mercedes's performance division, AMG, is developing its own EV, previewed by the wild AMG GT XX concept. The electric four-door rides on the new AMG.EA platform, packing three electric motors that combine for 1341 horsepower. Mercedes claims the concept’s top speed is 223 mph. The battery’s special cooling system is designed to allow repeatable high-performance driving, and Mercedes says the 800-volt architecture and new battery cells will allow for game-changing charging speeds. The concept can charge at up to 850 kilowatts—that is, if the charging equipment is up to the task—and add 248 miles of range in five minutes. While the AMG GT XX is still a concept, we expect Mercedes to try and translate this impressive performance to the final production car, due out in 2026.Mercedes-AMGMercedes-AMG EV SUV (Expected: 2026)A second dedicated EV from the Mercedes-AMG performance division is coming and this one will wear a taller SUV shape. Like its lower-slung counterpart, details are still scarce, but it will ride on the same AMG.EA platform as the four-door GT and will also utilize axial-flux motors that are more power-dense and compactly packaged than radial-flux motors. The AMG EV SUV will follow the four-door GT when it arrives in 2026. —Caleb MillerMercedes-AMGMercedes-Benz CLA EV (Expected: Early 2026)Mercedes is shifting its EV strategy, starting with the 2026 CLA EV sedan. Instead of launching more dedicated EQ-branded models, Mercedes's electric lineup will consist of vehicles offering both EV and hybrid powertrains with nearly identical bodywork. Replacing the outgoing gas-powered CLA, the new model arrives initially as an EV with an 85.0-kWh battery, which we estimate will provide between 354 and 418 miles of range. A single-motor model sends 268 hp to the rear wheels via a two-speed transmission, which helps boost efficiency. A 107-hp motor can be added up front for all-wheel drive, and the 800-volt architecture allows the CLA to charge at up to 320 kW. Inside, large screens span the entire dashboard. Sales start in early 2026 with prices at $48,500.Mercedes-BenzMercedes-Benz GLB EV (Expected: Late 2026)The second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLB follows the same strategy as the CLA, offering both hybrid and electric powertrains with nearly identical styling. The EV serves as a replacement for the EQB, and comes with either a single, rear-mounted 268-hp motor or a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup producing 349 hp. Range estimates are between 286 and 333 miles for the single-motor GLB, and between 275 and 325 miles for the AWD model. The boxy exterior design remains intact, while the cabin receives the glamorous optional Superscreen that spans nearly the entire width of the dashboard. Sales will begin before the end of 2026.Mercedes-BenzMercedes Luxury Van (Expected: 2026)In the U.S., VIP chauffeuring duties are typically handled by something like a Cadillac Escalade. But Mercedes aims to switch things up with its upcoming electric luxury van, previewed by the glitzy Vision V concept. The concept features a glamorous cabin with lay-flat seats and a mix of white Nappa leather and wood trim. There’s also a 42-speaker Dolby Atmos surround sound system and a retractable 65-inch screen. While we expect the concept to be toned down for production, it should still be incredibly spacious and decadent. The van, which we drove a prototype of in early 2025, will use an 800-volt architecture for rapid recharging, and range is targeted at over 300 miles.Mercedes-BenzMercedes-Benz C-class EV (Expected: 2027)Mercedes will continue to expand its EV lineup with a new electric C-class sedan, which will arrive alongside a refresh for the gas-powered C-class. We expect the C-class EV to follow the lead of the GLC EV, with a large, bold, and illuminated grille and smooth bodywork. It will also share its MB.EA platform with the GLC EV, with an 800-volt architecture bringing rapid recharging. The powertrain should be similar too, meaning 369-hp single motor and 483-hp dual motor variants. The C-class EV should debut in 2026 and reach the U.S. market the following year.Andi Hedrick - Car and DriverMercedes-Benz E-class EV (Expected: 2028)After the C-class EV, Mercedes will launch an E-class EV that will serve as a replacement for the EQE and share the MB.EA platform with its smaller sedan sibling. Not much is known about the E-class EV just yet, but it will likely debut in 2027 before going on sale in the U.S. in 2028.Marc Urbano - Car and DriverMitsubishi Lancer EV (Expected: Summer 2026)Nissan comprehensively overhauled the Leaf for the 2026 model year, transforming it into a subcompact SUV, and Mitsubishi has announced that it will launch its own EV based on the Leaf next year. Mitsubishi hasn’t provided many details, but we expect its powertrain to mirror that of the Leaf, which provides up to 303 miles of range and 214 hp. Mitsubishi plans to launch the electric crossover in the second half of 2026, and trademark filings suggest it may herald the return of the Lancer name.Illustration by Avarvarii - Car and DriverNissan Xterra EV (Expected: 2028)The Nissan Ariya and upcoming Leaf will be joined by a third electric Nissan SUV in late 2027. Nissan hasn't divulged too many specifics just yet about this new EV, but the design prototypes we saw at a media event featured a boxy design reminiscent of the Xterra off-roader from the 2000s. Nissan also referred to the new model as "adventure-focused," further strengthening the theory that the EV will serve as an indirect successor to the Xterra. More details should be released over the next couple of years before production of the SUV starts at the company's Canton, Mississippi, factory, replacing the previous plans to build an electric Maxima successor there.NissanPolestar 5 (Expected: 2026)The Polestar 5 is slated to compete with the Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan and wears crisp, low-slung bodywork. Two dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrains will be available, with the standard model producing 738 hp and the Performance trim boosting output to 872 hp. An 800-volt 106-kWh battery can charge at speeds of up to 350 kilowatts, and we expect an EPA range rating of around 330 miles for the standard car and 300 miles for the Performance. Prices should start north of $100,000, but Polestar hasn't said when the model will launch in the United States, and given that it will be built in China, tariffs could make it too costly to ever sell stateside.PolestarPolestar 6 (Expected: 2028)The Polestar 6 is the type of EV that raises our heart rate. Not only will the production version feature an 884-hp all-wheel-drive powertrain, but it'll be an open-top roadster that looks as racy as it does radical. Speaking of rad, the roofless two-door is expected to employ 663 pound-feet of torque to hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds on its way to a 155-mph top speed. The Polestar 6 is slated to arrive in 2028, starting with 500 special editions called the LA Concept. Each will be a near clone of the jaw-dropping 02 concept—minus the futuristic autonomous drone. While its interior isn't as exciting as the exterior, all of it will be wrapped around a unique bonded aluminum chassis and an 800-volt architecture that will be shared with the forthcoming Polestar 5. —Eric StaffordPolestarPolestar 7 (Expected: 2027)Polestar has announced plans for yet another numerically named electric crossover that will launch in 2027. The Polestar 7, as it will be called, will be a compact SUV and should slot in below the Polestar 3 but with a more traditional SUV-like shape than the sloping roofline of the Polestar 4. Not much else is known about the Polestar 7 at the moment, but the SUV is set to be built in Europe.PolestarPorsche 718 Cayman and Boxster EVs (Expected: 2027)Porsche's first electric sports car will be a successor to the 718. Riding on the Volkswagen Group's PPE platform, the electric Cayman and Boxster are expected to use the same 900-volt electrical architecture as Porsche's GT4 ePerformance test-bed vehicle. We expect a single-motor base model with a minimum of 450 horsepower driving the rear wheels, with all-wheel drive dual-motor versions producing upwards of 1000 horsepower to follow. While the electric sports cars were originally due in 2025, the 718 EV has faced delays and now may not reach the U.S. until 2027. —Jack FitzgeraldIllustration by Christian Schulte - Car and DriverPorsche Cayenne EV (Expected: Summer 2026)Just as Porsche's popular Macan spawned an electric variant for 2024, so too is the pioneering Cayenne, which kicked off Porsche's SUV journey back in 2003. The Cayenne EV arrives in two guises: the base model, which produces 435 horsepower, and the 1139-hp Turbo, the most powerful Porsche yet, which rips to 60 mph in just 2.4 seconds. An 800-volt architecture allows for a peak charging rate of 400 kilowatts, with the 108-kWh battery able to go from 10 to 80 percent in under 16 minutes. Range is yet to be confirmed, but we expect it to max out at 320 miles. Deliveries begin in the U.S. in the summer of 2026, and the Cayenne EV should live alongside the gas-powered Cayenne for several years.PorscheRivian R2 (Expected: 2026)Rivian's large electric R1T truck and R1S SUV will be followed by a more compact model, simply dubbed the R2. Expected to cost just $45,000, about $30K less than the R1S, the R2 is similar in size to the Porsche Macan. The styling is an evolution of the theme seen on the R1 models, and the five-seat cabin gains two gloveboxes. There are three drivetrains planned: single-motor, rear-wheel-drive, dual-motor all-wheel-drive, and a sporty tri-motor all-wheel-drive setup that will sprint to 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds. Two batteries will be available and the range is supposed to be more than 300 miles. The R2 is due in mid-2026. —Caleb MillerRivianRivian R3 and R3X (Expected: 2027)After the R2 arrives, Rivian will downsize even further with the R3 and R3X. These subcompact models share a platform with the R2 but have a wheelbase that is five inches shorter and should offer the same drivetrain options. The R3X sits higher than the regular R3, runs on wider tires, and will feature the same tri-motor powertrain as the top-level R2. The rear glass can open independently from the tailgate and the front and rear seats can fold completely flat. The R3 models should arrive by 2027 and should start below $40K, but Rivian says the sportier R3X will hit the road first. —Caleb MillerRivianScout Traveler (Expected: 2028)The Scout nameplate is being revived on a pair of rough-and-tough EVs that will be sold through a new brand owned by Volkswagen. Production of the Scout Traveler will begin in 2027 in a new factory in South Carolina, and the electric SUV will feature a body-on-frame construction with a solid rear axle and mechanical locking differentials front and rear. The dual-motor electric powertrain provides a claimed 350 miles of range, and Scout will also offer a range-extender gas engine that serves as a generator for the battery to boost the range to 500 miles. Scout is targeting a starting price below $60,000 for the Traveler. —Caleb MillerScout MotorsScout Terra (Expected: 2028)The Scout Terra pickup truck shares the same off-road capable platform and all-wheel-drive powertrain as the Traveler, including the optional range-extender gas engine. The bed measures 5.5-foot long and the truck will be able to tow over 10,000 pounds, Scout claims. The cabin is also identical, featuring both crisp screens and physical knobs and switches. Both vehicles will offer an optional front bench seat to increase passenger capacity to six. Like the Traveler, production of the Terra is due to start in 2027 for the 2028 model year. —Caleb MillerScoutSlate Truck (Expected: Late 2026)Slate is an all-new brand promising an electric back-to-basics truck by the end of 2026. While Slate initially promised a final price of under $20,000, by banking on the $7500 federal EV tax credit, the Trump administration's cancellation of that incentive means the truck will instead start in the mid-$20,000 range. To minimize the price, the Slate Truck dispenses with most creature comforts. There's no sound system and no infotainment screen—instead, there's a dashboard mount for your phone. Slate will offer accessories for those who want more out of their vehicle, including a bed cap and rear seats to turn it into an SUV. Two battery packs will be available, one offering 150 miles of range and the other providing 240 miles. A 201-hp rear-mounted motor will scoot the truck to 60 mph in 8.0 seconds. The Slate Truck aims to be a bargain in the world of EVs, but you'll have to make sacrifices to keep the price low.SlateSubaru Trailseeker (Expected: Early 2026)The Trailseeker will become Subaru's second EV in the United States when sales kick off in 2026. While the Trailseeker is based on Subie's other EV, the Solterra (itself closely related to the Toyota bZ), the Trailseeker measures roughly six inches longer overall and sports more outdoorsy styling with standard roof rails and black plastic cladding around the wheel arches. The larger dimensions afford extra cargo room, but the cabin is otherwise largely identical to that of the Solterra. The dual-motor powertrain produces around 375 hp, good for a 4.4-second zero-to-60-mph time, while Subaru estimates the range at 280 miles. Prices start at $41,445.SubaruSubaru Uncharted (Expected: 2026)Just as the Solterra is a rebadged Toyota bZ and the Trailseeker is a rebadged Toyota bZ Woodland, the Subaru Uncharted is nearly identical to the upcoming 2026 Toyota C-HR. The front and rear end styling gets tweaked to line up with Subaru's other electric offerings, with thin headlights and a chunky bumper. Unlike the Toyota, however, the Uncharted will offer a base model with front-wheel drive, using a single 221 hp motor and eking out an estimated range of 300 miles. An optional all-wheel-drive setup adds another electric motor and brings 338 hp, dropping the estimated range to between 270 and 285 miles. The AWD model should go from zero to 60 mph in less than 5.0 seconds. The Uncharted will go on sale in early 2026, with prices starting at $36,445.SubaruTesla Roadster (Expected: 2027... maybe)If there's one thing Tesla loves, it's biting off more than it can chew. When Tesla's second-generation Roadster was first announced in 2017, the company claimed that 60 mph could arrive in a reality-warping 1.9 seconds on its way to a 250-mph top speed. If you love road trips, the Roadster will reportedly carry a 200.0-kWh battery pack with some 600-plus miles of range. Now, however, Musk claims that the Roadster will sprint to 60 mph in under one second, with the project becoming a collaboration with Musk's rocket company, SpaceX. An optional package has even been teased that would add 10 small rocket thrusters, with Musk hinting that "maybe they will even allow a Tesla to fly." After several years of delays, Musk now says the final production version will be revealed April 1, 2026, and "will be very different from what was shown previously." He also says production will start 12 to 18 months after the reveal. We remain skeptical. —Andrew KrokTeslaToyota C-HR (Expected: 2026)The Toyota C-HR returns to the U.S. as a subcompact electric SUV for the 2026 model year, pairing sharp styling with a potent powertrain. The dual-motor setup, shared with the AWD version of the refreshed 2026 bZ compact SUV, produces 338 hp. A 67-kWh battery provides 290 miles of range, Toyota claims, while the SUV can charge at up to 150 kW, going from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. The cabin largely mirrors the bZ, with a 14.0-inch touchscreen, a digital gauge readout, and two wireless charging pads. The CH-R packs standard features such as heated front seats and a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and prices are expected to start around $35,000.ToyotaToyota bZ Woodland (Expected: Early 2026)Toyota refreshed its compact electric SUV for 2026, changing the name from bZ4X to simply bZ. But the Japanese automotive giant didn’t stop there, expanding the range with the bZ Woodland. Closely related to the Subaru Trailseeker, this off-road-oriented EV is larger than the bZ and comes exclusively with a 375-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain. Toyota estimates it will provide 260 miles of range, and the bZ Woodland boasts 8.3 inches of ground clearance. Sales will kick off in early 2026.ToyotaToyota Tacoma EV (Expected: 2026)The latest Toyota Tacoma packs a hybrid powertrain for the first time, but the nameplate will also soon go electric. Toyota first showed off the Pickup EV concept in 2021, which turned out to be an early preview of the gas-powered truck's design. The concept featured a blocked-off grille but otherwise looked the same as the production model, leading us to believe that the EV can't be too far away. We expect more information to arrive in the next few years. —Caleb MillerToyotaToyota Highlander EV (Expected: 2027)Toyota is readying a three-row electric SUV as an electric counterpart to the gas-powered Highlander. No details are known on the powertrains, but we expect a dual-motor, all-wheel drive setup. Toyota showed a concept called the bZ Large SUV back in 2021, seen here, but we expect the look to have evolved in the years since. Originally thought to be called the bZ5X, we now think Toyota will utilize the recognition of the long-running Highlander nameplate, after renaming the existing bZ4X to the bZ for 2026. Toyota might also employ the Land Cruiser name, showing off an electric concept in 2023 called the Land Cruiser Se. Toyota confirmed in 2025 that its new three-row electric SUV will be built at its factory in Georgetown, Kentucky.ToyotaToyota Corolla EV (Expected: 2028)The next-generation Toyota Corolla, previewed by a sharply styled concept at the 2025 Tokyo auto show, is set to offer a wide range of powertrains, from pure gas to hybrid to a fully electric version. There are virtually no details yet on what to expect from a Corolla EV, which is still at least a few years away.ToyotaVolvo EX60 (Expected: 2026)Volvo will launch a new electric compact crossover called the EX60, which will live alongside the gas-powered XC60 in the Swedish brand's lineup for the foreseeable future. The EX60 will be Volvo's first EV to ride on its next-generation SPA3 platform, which will debut new structural battery packs comprised of more compact and energy-dense cells. After the EX60, the SPA3 will roll out as the underpinnings of all future Volvo EVs. The EX60 should arrive in 2026 and while information is limited so far, Volvo has teased the EX60 by showing off the squared-off taillights that extend up the rear of the SUV.Illustration by Avarvarii - Car and DriverYou Might Also LikeCar and Driver’s 10 Best Cars through the DecadesHow to Buy or Lease a New CarLightning Lap Legends: Chevrolet Camaro vs. Ford Mustang!
