Expected at the end of 2025
To replace the G20 generation of BMW 3 Series, we’re getting a new one at the end of 2025 – the first fully electric 3 Series.
We expect it to take inspiration from BMW’s Neue Klasse design language it teased in 2024, and it’ll feature the all-new panoramic iDrive infotainment display.

Available from February 2025
BYD has been on a roll these last few years, releasing electric models such as the Seal, Dolphin and ATTO 3. The ATTO 2 – an affordable electric crossover SUV – continues this trend.
With a 194-mile range from its single battery option (to begin with), this budget-friendly electric car is set to cost from as little as £27,000 new.

Expected by the end of 2025
In 2024, Citroën unveiled its new C5 Aircross concept car with its brash green paintwork and gold wheels.
This model will share parts with established models from the Stellantis range, such as the Peugeot e-3008 and Vauxhall Grandland Electric – both also great electric family SUVs.
Plus, sharing this platform means it will be available as either a hybrid or fully electric car.

Expected from Spring 2025
One of the most anticipated family cars of all time is the 2025 Dacia Bigster. It builds on the success of the updated Duster but with more space and slightly different styling.
This will be Dacia’s biggest SUV yet, available as a four-wheel drive hybrid and it’ll only cost from £24,995. Good old Dacia.

Expected from Spring 2025
Ford is finally electrifying the very popular Puma, aptly named the Puma Gen-E, to kickstart a new generation of crossover SUV for the American brand.
It’ll be available in a couple different trims and will have a range of 233 miles from its 43kWh battery.
And it’s a sign that Ford will style its battery-powered cars to look like their petrol counterparts, rather than going down the more extreme route of other brands.

Expected in the second half of 2025
Following the long-standing success of the Sportage, the South Korean brand Kia has decided to launch an all-electric SUV called the EV5.
It’ll look very similar to the futuristic EV3 and EV9 models, but in a smaller package, while offering a respectable (predicted) 329-mile range.

Expected at the end of 2025
The long-awaited fully electric Range Rover is finally on the horizon, and in true Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) fashion, it’ll be luxurious, big and refined.
Range Rover has said this new electric model will have similar performance to the current sporty V8, which has upwards of 500hp and a 0-62mph time of 4.3 seconds.
Ridiculous, but exciting.

Expected towards the end of 2025
Building on Polestar’s number naming convention, it plans to unveil its latest ‘5’ this year to sit above the ‘3’ and ‘4’ launched in 2024, as the most premium model from the Swedish brand.
This will be a Tesla Model S and Porsche Taycan rival, meaning it’ll be a luxury four-door saloon (Polestar is calling it a grand tourer though) with Polestar’s exquisite engineering and battery technology.

Expected late 2025/early 2026
Renault’s on a roll at the moment, flipping through its back catalogue of best hits and reviving models like the Renault 5, which has proven to be an instant hit.
The next car on its list is the Twingo, which will be reborn as a quirky small EV with a sub-£17k price tag and a healthy expected 185-mile range.

Expected late 2025
Small electric cars are all the rage in 2025, so it was only a matter of time before Škoda gave it a go.
It’s going to be called the Epiq (not a typo), and it’ll share many of its parts with the upcoming VW ID.2 and CUPRA Raval.
It comes with an appealing rumoured starting price of less than £22,000.

Expected late summer 2025
You might recognise the Urban Cruiser name, and that’s because Toyota used it back in the 2000s, but now it’s back in the shape of a small electric SUV.
With a 61kWh battery and a range of around 250 miles, so it should be more than suitable for, well, your urban cruising.

Early 2025 launch, on sale at the end of the year
Building on its popular all-electric ID range, Volkswagen is launching the ID.2 in 2025 and will share many of its parts with other similar cars from Škoda, CUPRA, SEAT and others in the VW Group.
It’s expected to cost around £17,000, have a 280-mile range and a GTI version is due with big power.

Alpine is usually known for sports cars and its Formula One programme, but now it’s ready to launch a four-door coupé to rival the BMW i5.
The Aston Martin Valhalla supercar (hypercar?) will be powered by a plug-in hybrid V8 with 1,079hp and 1,100Nm of torque, so it won’t be a slouch.
The latest Audi A5 came out in 2024, so it was only a matter of time before we saw a performance version – the V6-powered RS 5. Who doesn’t love a fast Audi?

We love the standard Hyundai IONIQ 6, so imagine our joy when we found out it was making a performance version to sit alongside the raucous IONIQ 5 N.

The baby Porsche convertible sports car is set to go fully electric this year. Details are scarce, but expect plenty of power, superb handling and a sweet roof-down experience. )
With all these new cars coming in 2025, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype, but sadly we now have to wait to see these cars in the metal.
That can be a bit of a faff, and who has the time for that? Thankfully, you can buy nearly new examples for less from most of the brands mentioned. Search for a used car today.
