The Best New EVs Coming to Market in 2025
As we approach 2025, the consumer electric vehicle (EV) market is undergoing a massive shift. Buying options continue to broaden, and manufacturers aim to capture the lower end of the market with affordable vehicles, some being listed under £25,000; key driving factors are the government mandate on sales of EVs, pressure from Chinese manufacturers, and the cost of living in the UK.
Meanwhile, at the top of the market Range Rover and Jaguar are releasing new, all-electric ranges, and sports car fans can rejoice in high-profile releases from Maserati, Porsche, and Alfa Romeo.
Before we dive in, though, please note that prices and models might vary when vehicles reach full release.
Volkswagen ID2all
Price: Around £22,000
Range: 280 miles
First unveiled last year, the excitement for the Volkswagen ID2all is palpable. Volkswagen bills it as the electric version of the VW Golf, one of Britain’s best-selling cars of all time. The ID2all looks to be a true market disruptor and an excellent balance between looks and practicality, with the production version going on sale in 2025.
Leapmotor T03
Price: From £15,995
Range: 165 miles
The Leapmotor is second cheapest electric vehicle available in UK markets, and it stands out from other Chinese models due to it being sold under the Stellantis umbrella. This means it benefits from the industry giant’s customer support, and the favourable manufacturing cost of being made in the same plant in Poland that produces the Fiat 600 and Jeep Avenger.
Introduced to compete with other low-cost options such as the Dacia Spring, the Leapmotor T03 has a slight edge, with a larger range than the Dacia. While it might not be ideal for a road trip up to Scotland, it is a perfect city cruiser and station wagon. Order books are open now.
Alpine A290
Price: Around £33,500
Range: 236 miles estimated
As a forerunner in hot hatchback EVs, the Alpine A290 is a delightfully quirky addition to the UK’s roads. Inspired by rally cars, and based on the popular Renault 5, the Alpine A290 has the features of mainstream hot-hatches. This includes a 220hp electric motor and it can go from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds. Scheduled for late 2025, this car threatens as an agile challenger to the traditional Golf GTI.
Mini Aceman SE
Price: Around £32,000
Range: 251 miles
A UK car list would not be complete without a Mini. Enter the Aceman SE, offering more space than its classic older brother, while being faster than the Mini Countryman. This car is a viable electric equivalent of the Clubman.
With a wealth of creature comforts and a more premium interior than many other smaller electric SUVs, it feels like the ICE Minis people adore. It is better suited to city driving than other SUVs on our list because of its smaller profile, but it lacks the boot capacity (300 litres) of some rivals. The Mini Aceman is currently available for order as of November 2024.
Kia EV3
Price: £33,000
Range: 372 miles
If family is your priority, look no further than the Kia EV3. Increased range and space means it’s great for longer trips, and it’s a cheaper alternative to other SUVs. The 460-litre boot and plenty of room in the back seats provide a comfortable ride for all.
The Kia opened for orders in September 2024, with prices differing by £3,000 between the 58.3kWh and 81.4kWh battery sizes.
BMW Neue Klasse X
Price: Around £65,000
Range: 400 miles estimated
Now for something a bit more expensive. The BMW Neue Klasse X is to be released alongside the smaller sedan Neue Klasse. Reportedly, the investment in these two cars is the biggest in company history. With a bold cyberpunk design and plush interiors, it is certainly eye-catching.
So far, no specific date for release is confirmed, but production models are likely to emerge in 2025.
Range Rover Electric
Price: Around £130,000
Range: 300 miles estimated
Debuting last year with a stunning test in the Arctic Circle, the first ever all-electric Range Rover, released late in 2024. Fitted with a beastly 800-volt charging architecture, this car is double the voltage of the competition. A clear understanding of their audience led Jaguar Land Rover to embrace the iconic style of the previous ICE Range Rover, with the only change being a smoothed down face.
Off-road capabilities feature heavily in advertising, including clearance through 850mm of water. The Range Rover Electric marks a revolutionary point in EVs as it tries to break the stereotypes of being an urban vehicle.
A smaller Range Rover Sport is also being released at a lower price.
Tesla Roadster
Price: Around £151,000
Range: Estimated 620 miles
Long anticipated, the Tesla Roadster was first announced back in 2017. However, many supply chain issues have delayed the release. Fans were delighted when Elon Musk announced a grand unveiling in late 2024, but at the time of writing nothing has come about, so fingers crossed in 2025.
Tesla touts the Roadster as the fastest car in the world, but others think otherwise. With claims of having a torque figure of 10,000Nm, the production of the Model S Plaid has helped lay some of the groundwork for this car. We await news of its release.
Maserati MC20 Folgore
Price: Around £300,000
Range: Estimated 240 miles
Originally scheduled for release in 2022, Maserati now confirms that the all-electric MC20 Folgore will arrive in 2025. There’s an expectation of 0-62mph in two seconds, due to it being only 100kg heavier than its existing ICE counterpart; a perfect pairing of beauty and performance. It looks to be an exciting addition to the existing Folgore line of Maserati Electric Cars.
What Else is On the Horizon in 2025 for Electric Vehicles?
Overall, 2025 looks to be an exciting year for EVs. Many stereotypes of the 2010s surrounding EVs are being shattered with releases such as the Range Rover Electric and increased interest from mainstream supercar manufacturers. In just the past few days Jaguar has unveiled its major all-electric rebranding, with more promised over the coming year. Meanwhile, cheaper models are increasingly being delivered, offering the public further incentives to change from Internal Combustion to Electric.
