Renault Twingo
Measuring 3789mm long, 1720mm wide and 1491mm high, the new Renault Twingo isn’t that much larger than the original petrol hatchback that first launched back in 1992. It weighs 1200kg, which is around 200kg heavier than the second-generation car.
The new Twingo is powered by a tiny 27.5kWh battery, which produces a range of 262km (163 miles), based on WLTP testing. Renault says this battery size is ideal for a small EV, as most drivers average just 35.4km (22 miles) per day. Renault says it can charge at speeds of up to 50kW.
As for power, the Twingo gets a single, front-mounted electric motor which produces 81bhp and 129lb ft of torque. It has a top speed of 130kph (81mph) and will travel from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 12.1 seconds, which is over a second faster than the Dacia Spring. It will reach 50kph (30mph) from a standstill in around six seconds.

Longbow Speedster EV
This electric Speedster comes from a new company named Longbow. Produced in the UK, it’s a “full-speed driving prototype”, which means it's almost production-ready.
The ultra-light sports car will cost from £84,995 (€96,444) and weigh just 895kg at the kerb, even with a 52kWh battery, inverter and rear-mounted electric motor fitted.
With at least 200kW (270bhp) of power, the Speedster is expected to achieve 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds. Road testing is imminent, and the production model is projected to offer a WLTP range of 442km (275 miles).

Peugeot Polygon (e-208)
The Peugeot Polygon concept is a futuristic, dramatically styled supermini designed as a preview of the Peugeot 208.
Peugeot has described it as having a "feline futuristic design" and a focus on showcasing the next-generation technology coming to the French brand's production cars.
This is the only image Peugeot has given us of the concept, but immediately, we can notice just how different the third-generation 208 will be from the version on sale today.
That said, the production version will likely be toned down design-wise.
-
Honda Super-N
Next year, Honda plans to introduce an electric city car designed to appeal to driving enthusiasts, featuring a simulated gearshift system.
This new model, a future rival to the new Renault Twingo, has been extensively showcased as the Super-N prototype at the Tokyo motor show.
The Super-N is an evolution of the Super EV Concept, which was previously demonstrated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this summer.
The related N-One E adheres to kei car regulations, measuring just under 3400mm in length, making it approximately 200mm shorter than the Fiat 500e.
-
Audi electric hatchback
Audi will introduce a new entry-level model next year, which will serve as an indirect replacement for the A1 and Q2 upon their retirement.
It will become Audi’s smallest car and will be positioned as an electric counterpart to both the A3 hatchback and Q2 crossover.
Based on our spy shots, the new EV looks like a smaller version of the Q4 E-tron, although it takes clear inspiration from the bubble-like design of the A2, which was produced from 1999 to 2005.
Because the new EV won't serve as a direct replacement for any models, it could wear a new badge – and a resurrection of the long-dormant A2 moniker is one possibility.
-
Bentley EV
The ‘Urban SUV’ will be Bentley’s first EV, but also its smallest car.
Expected to be revealed in mid-2026 with customer deliveries commencing in the second quarter of 2027, Bentley's new luxury urban SUV will be its most compact to date, measuring under five meters in length.
Positioned below the Bentayga, this unnamed model is being introduced as "the world's first true luxury urban SUV."
Bentley's new EV will reportedly share its platform with the Porsche Cayenne Electric. While Bentley has not yet released technical specifications, the new model is expected to use a version of the PPE EV platform, jointly developed by Porsche and Audi.
-
Baby Land Rover Defender
Land Rover is preparing to introduce a smaller, entry-level Defender to the line-up, which will arrive as a vital addition to the firm’s electric vehicle line-up.
The rugged 4x4 is expected to go on sale in 2027, sharing a close visual relationship with its full-size namesake. It will be smaller, lower-riding and less geared towards off-road performance.
With its seemingly robust dimensions and off-road heritage, the "baby Defender" might be poised to fill the void left by the popular Freelander, which the Discovery Sport replaced after the Freelander 2.
-
Volkswagen ID Polo
The Polo name will survive into the EV era, returning as a small electric car similar in size to the existing, internal combustion hatchback.
The ID Polo will be available with two battery options: 38kWh and 56kWh. The 56kWh battery offers an approximate range of 280 miles and supports charging speeds up to 125kW.
A range-topping Polo GTI will cap the range with 223bhp, becoming the first all-electric model to feature the German car maker’s performance badge.
-
Xiaomi YU7 GT
You may be familiar with Xiaomi through its smartphone production, but it has recently shifted its focus to electric cars.
Most notably, it has produced the SU7 saloon - a rival to the Porsche Taycan - and now it’s developing a performance version of its YU7 SUV.
If it uses the same powertrain as the SU7, the YU7 will produce around 1500bhp and 1300lb ft of torque.
-
Alpine A110 EV
The next-generation Alpine A110, due in 2026, will be lighter than combustion-engined rivals despite adopting an electric drivetrain.
Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo told Autocar that the company had made a “not rational” decision to “invest a lot of money” in a bespoke electric sports car platform for the next A110 and its derivatives – including a likely 2+2 version called the A310 – but it had “looked at Porsche for inspiration” in how to successfully build a sporting brand.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Porsche Cayenne
Porsche’s flagship EV is almost here, promising enormous performance, delectable handling, a long range and off-road capability.
Due to go on sale next month, the Cayenne EV will use a 108kWh battery with a range of 600km. Charging peaks at 400kW.
The base model is expected to provide 400bhp from its two motors. The Cayenne S will deliver around 600bhp, and the Cayenne Turbo will offer 805bhp.
-
Hyundai Ioniq 6 N
Hyundai's performance division is preparing its second model, the Ioniq 6 N, which will bring Porsche Taycan levels of performance and dynamic agility honed on the racetrack.
The car will have a very different exterior design to its regular counterpart. It will get wider wheel arches, larger alloys, red brake calipers, deeper side skirts, a larger rear spoiler and a more aggressive-looking rear bumper to suit the car's performance-oriented billing.
Riding on the same E-GMP platform as the Ioniq 5 N, the 6 N is likely to use an 86kWh battery to feed a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain that produces up to 480kW (641hp).
Expected deliveries: late 2025
-
Ariel E-Nomad
This very green concept previews an 896kg (1975lbs), 210kW (285hp) electric performance off-roader.
British-based Ariel revealed this near-production-spec concept that previews an electric version of the Nomad 2, that was revealed in 2024.
Dubbed E-Nomad, the new car will provide similar performance to the ICE model while offering unique driving attributes, and it will only cost £10,000 more. It blends sports car with serious off road credentials, and it’s certainly a one of a kind on the market.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Aston Martin EV
Aston’s first EV was due in 2025, but this has now been pushed back due to low consumer demand.
When it arrives, expect a high-riding, four-wheel-drive electric GT which won’t directly replace the combustion-powered DBX. It will blend sports car and crossover in a similar way to Ferrari’s upcoming EV.
It will use four motors for a combined output of up to 1120kW (1500hp).
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Audi RS6 Avant E-tron
Complete with one electric motor on each axle, expect the RS6 E-tron Avant to have far more power than the 463kW (630hp) current petrol version. This power is set to offset the inevitable added weight of its large battery pack, so a 0-100kmh (0-62mph) time of less than 3.0sec is highly likely.
As demonstrated by the A6 E-tron, the PPE platform upon which this car will sit can accommodate a 100kWh battery pack, which is likely to deliver a range of 700km (435 miles) in this application.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
BMW i3
The electric 3 Series will be the second model to use BMW's new Neue Klasse modular EV platform, following the launch of the closely related iX3 SUV in 2025.
It gets distinctive new kidney grilles, which wrap around the front of the car and house all the radars and cameras needed to facilitate next-generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Inside, you can expect it to have large, irregularly shaped central touchscreens, haptic steering-wheel controls and a full-width head-up display in place of any physical switches and buttons.
As seen on the first slide, it will also come in a touring body shape. It will use the i3 name.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
BMW M3 EV
Derived from the next-generation 3 Series, the electric M3 will go on sale alongside a combustion variant, promising to reach new heights of performance and on-board technology.
Each major component of the electric drivetrain will be bespoke to the sporting division. The sporting brand has always used heavily reworked versions of standard BMW engines, and it will continue to use parts from its parent company as the basis for performance-focused electric systems.
BMW M CEO Frank van Meel recently told Move Electric's sister title Autocar that it will weigh more than the combustion-powered models that went before it, although will produce as much as 745kW (1000hp) to compensate.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Caterham Project V
Unveiled as a concept at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed, it’s now been confirmed for production.
Completely unrelated to the Caterham Seven and built around a totally bespoke and all-new lightweight architecture, it is described more as a “small tourer” than an apex-hunting track car like its minimalist sibling. It categorically does not replace the Seven, although it has been designed with a rigid focus on the “simple, light and fun to drive” ethos that CEO Bob Laishley says must continue to define the Caterham brand into the electric era.
With a targeted real-world range of 400km (249 miles) and enough luggage space for a weekend away, it looks to provide everyday utility on a par with cars like the Alpine A110 and Mazda MX-5.
A single permanent magnet synchronous motor delivers 200kW (268bhp) to the rear wheels and is good for a claimed 0-100km/h (0-62mph) time of less than 4.5sec.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Chevrolet Bolt
General Motors CEO Mary Barra reversed a decision that had previously been taken to the kill the Bolt nameplate, and instead it will return offering “the same value as the original Bolt and much more”, according to Barra.
Pictured is the Bolt that just went off sale, but expect the new one to look very different.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Cupra Raval
Forget the World Cup – the bloodiest showdown of 2025 could well be when Spain’s Cupra Raval squares up against the Renault 5 in a bid to capture the mainstream electric car market. Cupra’s challenger certainly has the readies to take a win: circa-25,000 euros (£22,000) price tag, sumptuous interior and a whole array of digital tricks. If anything can take Cupra from the Volkswagen Group’s super-sub to its star striker, this is the car.
Expected deliveries: 2025
-
Ferrari EV
The world of electric cars might be a new one for Ferrari, but company boss Benedetto Vigna has promised that his first EV will be made "in the right way".
To make sure of that, it has already completed several thousand kilometres of on-road testing and the weight of its batteries will likely be stored deep within its chassis to keep the centre of gravity down. It will blend a sports car body shape with a higher crossover like ride.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Ford Fiesta EV
If they happen, the spiritual electric successors to the Ford Fiesta and Focus will likely sit on a brand new 'skunkworks' platform, the development of which is being led by a former Tesla engineer.
According to the head of Ford's model E division Marin Gjaja, the first car on this platform will arrive in late 2026 or early 2027, but given its focus on affordability it will likely play host to models below the Puma.
Reports suggest that around 300 people are currently working on the architecture, with a team as varied as engineers from Tesla, Rivian and Apple, as well as Formula 1 aerodynamicists.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Ford Focus EV
While this 'skunkworks' platform is still in the engineering stages, it represents the first sign of Ford looking to explore markets below crossovers, SUVs, coupe-crossovers and other niches.
With this in mind, an electric successor to the current Focus could also be on the cards. And given Ford's newest cars such as the 4.5-metre long Explorer and SUV-coupe Capri, there is room for the firm to explore sectors it once dominated.
The Focus may not come back using exactly the same bodystyle as it currently adopts, particularly given the demands of jacked-up crossovers. But the return of the name could at least drive down the price to something more people can afford.
Expected deliveries: 2028
-
Kia EV2
The affordability-focused Kia EV2 is set to arrive in 2026 as a rival to the new Renault 5 E-Tech. The small, high-riding hatchback will sit on the same on the same E-GMP platform as Kia's flagship electric cars, the EV6 and EV9 SUVs.
You can expect the car to have a boxy silhouette similar to that of the Soul EV, with column-like headlights like those of the EV9.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Maserati MC20 Folgore
Above this car's most obvious draws, including a likely power output of 560kW (750bhp) and likely range of up to 482km (300 miles), Maserati is aiming to not only increase performance over its combustion-engined sibling, but do nothing to lose that car's character or sense of engagement.
It’s anticipated that it will use the same tri-motor powertrain as the smaller Granturismo Folgore, with two motors on the rear axle and one at the front.
Some rumours now point to Stellantis having cancelled the project.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Mercedes-AMG GT EV
The first dedicated electric car to come from Mercedes' performance division is likely to be the firm's most powerful road car yet, complete with a 745kW (1000bhp), quad-motor powertrain and four-wheel drive.
This will be only the fourth completely bespoke car Mercedes-AMG has launched, after the SLS and rest of the GT range.
Expected deliveries: late 2026
-
Rivian R3
Rivian’s smallest electric car will be this, but don’t expect anything too small, it’ll still be Kia EV6 sized. Expect it to resemble more of a hatchback than a traditional SUV, unlike the larger R2.
Under the retro bodywork will be single, dual and tri-motor powertrains providing a range of over 480km (300 miles) in all forms.
Expected deliveries: 2026
-
Tesla Model 2
There has been some confusion over whether the recently released ‘Robotaxi’ was in fact the long-awaited Model 2, but it seems they may both be made unrelated to each other.
When the 2 finally arrives, expect it to start from a bit more than the initially promised $25,000 and offer (480km) (300 miles) or more of range.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Aehra Sedan
The Aehra Sedan is a sleeker sibling to the Aehra SUV, with a more aerodynamic body that will supposedly allow a range of 800km (497 miles) between charges. Nailing the “basic physics” is the priority for the saloon according to engineering chief Franco Cimatti, who was previously responsible for developing Lotus’s EPA platform.
Expected deliveries: late 2026
-
Alfa Romeo 4E
The Alfa Romeo 4E will serve as a brand-building halo model amid the brand’s shift to offering solely electric cars. Product boss Daniel Guzzafame said a new Alfa Spider would become “within reach” once the brand has five EVs in its line-up, suggesting it won’t arrive until after 2027.
Expected deliveries: 2028
-
Audi R8 EV
Audi is set to base its follow-up to the R8 atop a bespoke EV platform that it's co-developing with Porsche. Work is said to be well under way on the new supercar, tipped to offer a greater power output than any other car in Audi’s line-up.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Porsche Cayman 983
The next generation of the 2026 Porsche 983 Cayman EV will arrive within the year, set to adopt a bespoke electric sports car platform that is designed to mimic the current combustion cars’ mid-engined characters and that could go on to underpin future Audi and Lamborghini models.
Expected deliveries: early 2026
-
Porsche Boxster EV
Will be the sister car to the new Cayman. Rumour has it that Porsche may modify both to fit a combustion engine in. If it does, expect it to be hybridised.
Expected deliveries: early 2026
-
Genesis GV60 Magma
The Genesis GV60 prototype isn’t camera-shy anymore.
In the third quarter of 2025, Genesis will start series production of its first high-performance model, the GV60 Magma. A performance-SUV with N technology, it could easily be mistaken for a hatchback thanks to the low body and ride height. The first prototypes have now been spotted in Europe and are out on the road for testing.
The Genesis GV60 Magma Concept celebrated its world premiere at last year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, and the production version may well be presented there this year.
In terms of performance, the GV60 Magma is speculated to have over 520kW (700hp). In addition to the aeroflaps on the roof, which are otherwise only seen on the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, the GV60 Magma has a very sporty front end with large air intakes.
Expected deliveries: late 2025
-
Smart #6
Smart’s sleek #6 flagship will be unveiled later this year as the brand’s quickest and most advanced model to date, packing reserves of more than 470kW (630hp) in its most potent form.
The rakish four-door saloon will be positioned as a rival to the Tesla Model 3, a car it will have a similar footprint to. It has been designed with a focus on range so will feature the slipperiest body of any Smart model to date.
Expected deliveries: late 2026
-
Smart #2
Smart could give the green light to an electric Fortwo successor in a matter of months, its European boss has revealed, but it must be proved profitable before getting approval.
The Fortwo – the firm's first model and one of the smallest cars sold in Europe – retired recently after 26 years of production, with no immediate successor lined-up, but Smart Europe CEO Dirk Adelmann has confirmed that plans are afoot for an electric replacement.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Honda 0 Series
Future models in Honda’s 0 Series electric car line-up will all receive distinctive styling, although with a shared focus on bold and simple design language.
The first two models in the range of seven EVs due to be launched between now and 2030 were previewed with the 0 SUV and 0 Saloon prototypes shown at this year’s CES tech event. This is 0 Saloon, set to arrive by 2027.
Expected deliveries: 2027
-
Volkswagen ID 2
Design work on the production version of the Volkswagen ID 2all hatch has been finished and design chief Andreas Mindt claims it looks “even better” than the concept version.
The sub-€25,000 (roughly £22,000) electric car will be shown for the first time later this year, with sales starting in 2026. The ID 2all concept was designed in around six weeks, but Mindt said his team had fought hard to make sure the production model closely follows its styling and dimensions.
It is set to be smaller than the current Golf, yet offer more interior room. Expect range of up to 500km (310 miles) and a sporty GTI version to come along later.
Expected deliveries: early 2026

Volkswagen ID 4
Volkswagen’s ID electric SUV will get a wide-reaching update in 2026, with a new exterior design and vital technical updates.
At five years old, the Toyota bZ4X and Tesla Model Y rival is one of the brand’s best-selling electric cars,
While technical specifications are still under wraps, Autocar understands that Volkswagen's leading electric vehicles are set to receive the same efficiency and performance enhancements seen in newer models like the ID 7.
These improvements will come from the integration of more advanced electric motors, along with updated battery and inverter technology.
