The 11 best new cars being launched in 2026 – Daily Express
2026 is here, and it’s poised to be an exciting year for cars, with a host of releases across all sectors of the market. All eyes will be on Range Rover’s new electric mode,l with the model currently being put through its paces in final testing.
The Jaguar Type 00 is also set to be one of the standout releases as the highly controversial model is set to revolutionise the British marque’s line-up. Chinese manufacturers are also tipped to make inroads with the LeapMotor B05, set to be one of the best-looking budget options. All eyes will also be on the new EV BMW 3 Series, Tesla Roadster and the gorgeous Aston Martin Valhalla supercar.
The model was mired in controversy when it was first announced last year, with the car set to be a major departure from what the company is best loved for.
The four-door saloon is radically different from the coupe models of the past, but will be Jaguar’s first EV since the I-Pace was released back in 2018.
Back in October, the Type 00 was spotted undergoing a thorough testing programme at the iconic Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit.
Land Rover faces hot competition from a wave of new Chinese manufacturers such as Jaecoo, which impressed customers and secured impressive sales in 2025.
The new Range Rover Electric will be equipped with a 118kWh battery, which will ensure the model travels over 300 miles.
The new car will come with 552bhp, with top speeds of up to 155mph expected.
The 3 Series will share some of the new features installed in the iX3 SUV also set to launch in 2026.
The new 3 Series is set to be equipped with a large 108.7kWh battery and could be capable of over 500 miles on a single charge.
Their new B05 model is set for a 2026 launch and promises advanced tech and an impressive range for a competitive price.
Buyers can expect the 67.1kWh battery to offer around 285 miles at a cost of under £30,000, cheaper than rivals such as the Volkswagen ID.3.
