The electric car landscape is transforming rapidly, and 2025 is shaping up to be a landmark year for EV enthusiasts. From affordable city cars to luxury SUVs, manufacturers are preparing to launch some of their most innovative and exciting models yet.

What makes this new wave of electric vehicles particularly interesting is the growing diversity in price points, vehicle types, and ever-improving charging infrastructure, finally making sustainable driving accessible to a wider range of buyers.

Let’s explore the top 10 most anticipated electric cars our customers are looking forward to the most.

Dacia Spring: The EV For The People

Who said going electric had to break the bank? Dacia is about to shake up the EV world with its Spring, and at £14,995, it's set to be the UK's cheapest electric car. Think of it as the people's champion of the electric revolution.

While it won't be winning any drag races with its modest 44bhp (or 65bhp if you're feeling fancy), this plucky little car can cruise for 140 miles on a single charge - more than enough for your daily adventures and weekly supermarket runs. The Spring proves that good things come in small packages, especially when those packages help save both the planet and your wallet.

While it has a small battery with capacity of about 30kW, you can juice up this urban warrior from 20-80% in about 35 minutes - just enough time to grab a coffee and scroll through your phone. Plus, with its quirky, SUV-inspired styling, it stands out from the usual budget car crowd.

Volkswagen ID.2all: Golf Goes Electric (Finally!)

A blue Volkswagen ID. 2all electric concept car showcased in a studio setting, highlighting its sleek, modern design and innovative features.

Look who's joining the affordable EV party! VW's ID.2all is here to fill those Golf-shaped holes in our hearts, and at under £22,000, it might just be the people's electric car we've been waiting for. Think of it as the Golf's cooler, zero-emission cousin who still knows how to have fun.

With 226hp under your right foot and a peppy 0-60mph time, this isn't your average budget EV. VW claims it'll cruise for up to 280 miles on a single charge - that's London to Manchester with range to spare for some wrong turns around the Piccadilly roundabout. And if you're thinking "but what about the sporty version?" - don't worry, a GTI variant with over 320hp is in the works. Yes, you read that right - an electric GTI!

Inside, you'll find the tech-heavy cockpit you'd expect from VW, minus the frustrating touch controls that plagued earlier ID models (thank goodness!). The ID.2all proves that "budget" doesn't have to mean boring, and with salary sacrifice savings through The Electric Car Scheme, this already attainable EV becomes even more tempting.

Hyundai Inster: Compact Outside, TARDIS Inside

Meet the Inster, Hyundai's clever little addition to the EV world that's about to show us size really doesn't matter. Despite being as small as a Hyundai i10, this compact warrior packs some serious space-bending magic - including a boot that rivals bigger cars and rear seats that slide to give your passengers either palatial legroom or extra luggage space.

Coming with either a 42kWh battery for 186 miles of range, or a beefier 49kWh pack that'll take you 220 miles, the Inster is proof that good things come in small packages. The long-range version packs a punchy 115hp - not exactly supercar territory, but more than enough to make your daily commute fun.

The best part? Hyundai's latest design language makes this compact EV look like it's driven straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Kia EV3: Your Pocket-Sized EV9

Welcome to Kia's latest electric creation - think of it as the EV9's more nimble little sibling. The EV3 takes all the futuristic styling that made us fall in love with its bigger brother and shrinks it into a compact SUV that's ready to take on the likes of the Volvo EX30.

Starting at £33,000, this little powerhouse packs a mighty punch with its 81.4kWh battery offering an impressive 372 miles of range. The EV3's cutting-edge 800-volt system means rapid charging from 10-80% in just 30 minutes - perfect for those impromptu road trips. Want something lighter? There's also a 58.3kWh version that'll still cover 255 miles between charges.

With 201bhp sent to the front wheels and a 0-62mph time of 7.5 seconds, it's got enough pep to make your daily commute entertaining. Plus, the angular, concept-car looks mean you'll turn heads without breaking the bank. For those who want the style of the EV9 but in a more city-friendly package, the EV3 hits the sweet spot.

Skoda Elroq: The People's SUV Gets Plugged In

Move over, Karoq - there's a new electric Skoda in town. The Elroq is what happens when you take everything people love about Skoda's practical SUVs and add a hefty dose of electric motivation. And yes, it probably comes with an umbrella hidden in the door.

With a beefy 77kWh battery delivering up to 350 miles of range, range anxiety is so 2023. The entry model will start around £35,000, but it's the spicier 300hp dual-motor version that's got us excited. Think practical family SUV by week, undercover sports car by weekend.

The design borrows the sleek looks of its bigger brother, the Enyaq, but wraps them in a more compact package. Think sharp creases, a distinctive front light signature, and that signature Skoda grille - just don't try to put petrol in it. Hitting showrooms in autumn 2024, the Elroq proves that practical doesn't have to mean boring.

Ford Capri: A Legend Reborn

Well, well, well... look who's back! Ford's iconic Capri nameplate returns for 2025, but this time it's ditched the V6 for something a bit more... shocking. Instead of a sleek coupe, we're getting a sporty electric SUV with a swooping roofline - because apparently, everything needs to be an SUV these days.

Starting at £48,075, this isn't your dad's budget sports car anymore. But with 340hp from its dual-motor setup, it'll certainly move like a proper Capri should. Think of it as Ford's answer to the Volkswagen ID.5, just with a cooler backstory and a dash more attitude.

While purists might scoff at an electric SUV wearing the Capri badge, Ford has given it enough sporty touches to earn its stripes. The sloping roofline and aggressive styling make it stand out from its more practical Explorer sibling. It's not the Capri we expected, but maybe it's the Capri we need for 2025.

Polestar 3: The Swedish Stunner

If Thor designed an electric SUV, this would be it. The Polestar 3 marks the Swedish brand's first venture into the SUV world, and they've come out swinging. Imagine a Polestar 2 that hit the gym and got really into CrossFit - that's basically what we're dealing with here. Check out the best Polestar 2 alternatives.

Starting at £75,900, this Scandi beauty means business with its massive 111kWh battery delivering an impressive 392-mile range. Want more punch? The performance version throws down 517hp, enough to make some sports cars nervous. It’s not bad for something that can also handle the weekly shop.

Looking like it's been carved from a single block of Swedish minimalism, the 3 manages to stand out in a sea of premium electric SUVs. The interior follows the same 'less is more' philosophy, just with enough screens and tech to make a spaceship jealous. It's proof that you don't need a shouty design to turn heads.

Volvo EX60: The Swede Spot

Meet Volvo's answer to the Tesla Model Y - and it's bringing Swedish sensibility to the electric crossover party. The EX60 is what happens when you take everything great about Volvo's SUVs and zap it with electricity (and yes, it's still obsessed with safety).

Expected to land at around £60,000, this sleek Swede is predicted to pack close to 400 miles of range - enough to drive from London to Edinburgh with just enough battery left to find a charging spot near the castle. While Volvo's keeping some cards close to their chest, we're expecting the same top-notch interior quality and minimalist design that made us fall in love with the EX90.

Think of it as the Goldilocks of electric SUVs - not too big, not too small, just right. And with Volvo's trademark Thor's Hammer headlights getting an electric makeover, it's sure to light up the premium crossover segment.

Audi RS6 e-tron: The Super-Wagon Goes Electric

The RS6 has long been the king of the "I need to get the kids to school really, really fast" category. Now it's back with batteries, and it might just be the fastest family hauler Audi has ever made.

Due to hit the roads in 2025, this electric tire-shredder is rumored to pack over 800hp from its dual-motor setup. Zero to 60? Let's just say your coffee better have a really good lid. While the regular A6 e-tron promises 350 miles of range, the RS6 version might sacrifice a few miles in the name of face-melting acceleration.

Under that menacing bodywork lurks Audi's new PPE platform, which is shared with Porsche. Expect the usual RS treatment - flared wheel arches, massive brakes, and enough aero bits to make an F1 car blush. It's the same practical wagon we know and love, just with an electric heart and an even bigger appetite for supercar hunting.

Range Rover EV: The Electric King

The original luxury SUV is finally going electric, and it's bringing all its royal attitude with it. Landing in late 2024, this battery-powered behemoth looks almost identical to its fuel-sipping siblings - because when you're already automotive royalty, why mess with perfection?

Expected to start north of £130,000, it's not exactly a bargain basement, but that's hardly the point. What you get is an 800-volt electrical system for ultra-rapid charging, the same go-anywhere capability (yes, it can still wade through 850mm of water), and the kind of silence that makes Rolls-Royce owners jealous.

While Range Rover is keeping most specs under wraps, they've been testing this luxe-mobile in the Arctic Circle, proving that battery power doesn't mean compromising on capability. It's still a proper Range Rover - just one that happens to be better for the planet and probably quicker than its V8 sibling.

Tesla Model Y (Juniper): The Bestseller Gets Better

Could Tesla's most popular model get even better? The 2025 refresh (codenamed Project Juniper) suggests yes. The world's bestselling car is getting a midlife makeover that goes beyond just a fresh face.

Read our detailed guide about the Tesla Model Y Juniper refresh.

Expected to land in early 2025, the refreshed Model Y borrows the sleeker styling of its recently updated Model 3 sibling. Inside, it's goodbye stalks, hello minimalism - with a more streamlined interior that might just divide opinion. The real story, though, is the improved efficiency, with the Long Range version potentially stretching to 430 miles between charges.

Not sold on the Tesla badge? Don't worry - there are plenty of compelling alternatives in this price range. Check out our guide to the best Tesla Model Y alternatives.

Want prices? Expect it to start around at £47,000 when it launches. And yes, it'll probably still do that party trick with the dancing lights. Some things never change, even in the ever-evolving world of Tesla.
