Future Electric Vehicles: The EVs You'll Soon Be Able to Buy

Audi plans to launch a new electric sports car in 2027, previewed by the radical Concept C. Audi says the new sports car, which is roughly the same length as a Porsche 911, will sit somewhere between the TT and R8 in terms of performance and will usher in a new design language. Inside, the Concept C shows Audi embracing a return to physical controls, and the concept even features a screen that can completely tuck away when not in use. Details on the powertrain remain sparse, but the Concept C was designed as rear-wheel drive, and we expect it to share a platform with the upcoming Porsche 718 EV. Audi has confirmed that the production car will also offer a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant as well, and the RWD concept is said to weigh 3726 pounds.

Bentley's first EV is a muscular SUV called the Torcal that slots in below the gas-powered Bentayga in the luxury automaker's lineup. The Torcal shares its platform with the Porsche Cayenne Electric and is motivated by a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain with up to 876 hp and 996 pound-feet of torque. It's the most powerful production Bentley ever, and also the quickest, hitting 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. Range should come in at around 320 miles, with a peak charge rate of 400 kilowatts. Inside and out, the Torcal wears bold, decadent styling. Sales will start in the U.S. in early 2027, priced below the Bentayga.

The BMW i3 arrives as an electric sibling to the long-running BMW 3-Series, wearing BMW's new design language and riding on the same Neue Klasse platform that supports the iX3 SUV. An 800-volt architecture allows for 400-kW fast-charging, while the 109-kWh battery is said to provide an estimated 440 miles of range. The i3 will launch with one trim, the 50 xDrive, to start, sending 463 hp and 476 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. There's also a radical new interior layout featuring a thin display that runs along the base of the windshield and a trapezoidal central touchscreen. Sales of the i3 should begin in early 2027.

The upcoming BMW i3 will also spawn the first all-electric M3. The iM3, as we expect it to be called, will ride on BMW's next-generation EV platform featuring an 800-volt electrical architecture. A quad-motor powertrain, with two electric motors on each axle, should churn out well over 600 horsepower and ensure that the iM3 is appropriately rapid. The front motors can also be decoupled, and while BMW says this is to increase highway range, we're already dreaming of getting sideways. BMW is also planning faux gearshifts and engine noises to help make the iM3 more engaging, with the company sampling everything from the E92 M3's V-8 to the E64 M6's 5.0-liter V-10. The Concept M Neue Klasse previews the production car's aggressive styling.

The iX4 is BMW's electric replacement for the gas-powered X4, serving as a sleeker alternative to the iX3. The iX4 has a sloping, more sedan-like roofline, but otherwise shares its styling with its more conventional sibling. It also uses the same powertrains as the iX3, with a base 50 xDrive model producing 463 hp from a pair of electric motors and a M60 xDrive variant that boosts output to 603 hp. A 112-kWh battery provides up to 428 miles of range in the 50 xDrive, which will likely be considerably lower for the sportier M60. An 800-volt architecture means the iX4 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in around 21 minutes. The iX4 will reach the U.S. in March 2027, with prices starting at $67,695 for the iX4 50 xDrive.

BMW will continue electrifying its lineup with the iX5, an electric counterpart to the mid-size X5 SUV. The iX5 shares its Neue Klasse look with the gas-powered X5, and uses an updated version of the existing CLAR platform found under the X5 and iX. Initially offered with just one trim, the iX5 60 xDrive will produce 570 hp and 593 pound-feet of torque, with around 435 miles of range and the ability to recharge at up to 460 kilowatts. Visually, there are also unusual touch-capacitive winglets that replace traditional door handles and a new X-shaped lighting signature in the headlights. The interior follows the path set forth by the iX3, with a slanted center touchscreen bolstered by a full-width display at the base of the windshield. The iX5 will go on sale in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2027.

Known for bare-bones sports cars, Caterham is looking to expand its lineup with an electric coupe that will enter production in 2027. Caterham aims to enter the U.S. market with the Project V, as it's currently known, which will pack a 268-hp electric motor sourced from Yamaha on the rear axle. The Project V will also sport a unique split battery pack, with a roughly 27 kWh battery sitting between the occupants' legs and another beneath the rear seat. Caterham is aiming for a zero-to-62-mph time of under 4.5 seconds and a price tag of around $135,000.

Ferrari is readying its first EV, the Luce, which will go on sale in the U.S. in spring 2027. The controversial four-door design sits somewhere between sedan and SUV, and was penned in part by former Apple designer Jony Ive. Ferrari claims the slippery styling provides the lowest drag coefficient of any roadgoing Ferrari. A quad-motor powertrain emits 1035 horsepower, overcoming the nearly 5000-pound curb weight to blast the Luce to 62 mph in a claimed 2.5 seconds and to 124 mph in 6.8 seconds. A 122-kWh battery should provide a bit less than 300 miles of range, while the 800-volt architecture allows for charging at up to 350 kilowatts. There's also a system that apparently captures the noise from the rear axle and amplifies it, rather than just playing a simulated V-12 scream. The interior has a clean, modern look with a mix of screens and physical switchgear. Prices will start at around $640,000.

Ford is developing a new Universal EV platform that will spawn several vehicles, starting with a small pickup truck that will be called the Fathom. Ford says the truck's footprint will be closer to that of the compact Maverick, but claims interior space will be on par with the Toyota RAV4. Most details remain secret, but Ford is using a 400-volt electrical architecture and lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to keep costs down, potentially leading to less range and slower charging speeds than other new EVs. Ford also promises rapid acceleration and a rear-wheel-drive setup, although we expect all-wheel drive to also be available. Ford says pricing for the Fathom will start at $29,945, with production set to begin in Kentucky in 2027.

Genesis has revealed a new electric flagship SUV called the GV90, which wears polished bodywork and features a rich, well-equipped cabin. A dual-motor powertrain produces 657 horsepower, and the 124-kWh battery provides 310 miles of range. An air spring suspension is standard, as is rear-wheel steering. Inside, there's a massive 23.6-inch touchscreen that can rise upwards by 3.4 inches when the car is parked to improve the video-viewing experience. Genesis will also offer a version called the GV90 Neolun that features coach doors and a VIP rear-seat setup, with the front seats able to swivel 180 degrees to create a lounge setup when parked. Prices are expected to start north of $100,000 when sales begin in early 2027.

Hyundai is adding a high-performance version of its sleek Ioniq 6 sedan for the 2026 model year, with the Ioniq 6 N packing the same potent powertrain as its Ioniq 5 N sibling. That means a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup that produces 601 hp, but has a boost function that ups the ante to 641 hp for 10 seconds. The Ioniq 6 N will rip to 60 mph in a claimed 3.2 seconds. Like the Ioniq 5 N, the sport sedan can simulate engine noise and gearshifts. Visually, the Ioniq 6 N rocks a swan-neck rear wing, wider fenders, and a more aggressive front splitter. The Ioniq 6 N is expected to go on sale in 2026 with a starting price of around $60,000.

Hyundai and General Motors recently announced a partnership that will birth several new vehicles, and while most of these products are focused on the South American market, the two automotive giants will team up for a new electric van for the United States. The van will be built in the U.S. starting in 2028, and both Hyundai and Chevy are expected to offer their own versions of the van, sharing a platform but sporting unique interior and exterior designs. Most details should come out as the production date nears. (The Hyundai ST1, an electric van sold overseas, is pictured here.)

Jaguar is reinventing itself as an exclusive, high-end luxury EV brand, starting with a four-door grand tourer called the Type 01. The sedan has a brutalist look, covered in flat surfaces and sharp creases. The rear end has an industrial look, with the taillights set within a series of horizontal bars and the Type 01 skipping a rear window entirely. Inside, there's a center spine running through the length of the cabin, a 24-inch screen behind the steering wheel, and 7.0-inch touchscreens for both rows of seating that control the climate and seat-position settings. Motivation comes via tri-motor powertrain producing 1015 horsepower and 1007 pound-feet of torque, with the Type 01 able to hit 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The 118-kWh battery will provide around 400 miles of range, while a fast-charger will allow the Type 01 to go from 10 to 80 percent in around 22 minutes. Deliveries are set to being in mid-2027, with a starting price just over $130,000.

Kia broke into the pickup truck market when it launched the boldly styled Tasman last year, and while that truck isn’t destined for the U.S. market, the automaker confirmed in 2025 that it is working on an electric pickup for North America. Not many details have been confirmed, but we know the mid-size truck will ride on a new electric platform and that Kia claims it will have a "robust towing system" and "best-in-class interior and cargo space." We don't expect it to arrive until the end of the decade, and an uncertain market for EVs and constantly changing tariffs could lead to its demise.

After significant delays, the first electric Range Rover will arrive in the U.S. in late 2026. While it looks nearly identical to the gas-powered Range Rover, the electric SUV features an 800-volt architecture and a pair of electric motors producing 542 hp and 627 pound-feet of torque. A 119-kWh battery provides an EPA-estimated range of 33 miles, and it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes. Pricing starts at $140,550, and all Range Rover EVs have air suspension.

Just like the gas-powered Range Rover, the electric one has spawned a sleeker Range Rover Sport. The Range Rover Sport Electric features the same dual-motor powertrain, producing 542 hp, and hits 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. Like the full-size Range Rover EV, the Range Rover Sport EV looks essentially the same as its gas counterpart. Range should be around 333 miles, and the Range Rover Sport EV should go on sale in the U.S. sometime in 2027.

The upcoming Range Rover GT breaks from tradition, sporting a lower, sleeker body than any Range Rover-badged vehicle before, with a sloping, sedan-like roofline. Although no details on the electric powertrain have been announced, we expect the Range Rover GT, riding on the new EMA architecture, to feature a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup. Inside, the Range Rover GT has a minimalist cabin with few buttons and a rectilinear, structured look. The GT should be revealed in early 2027, with sales kicking off sometime later that year.

Lexus is gearing up for another supercar, a sentence that demands our attention. Their last attempt, the LFA, made an undeniable impression with its screaming V-10 engine. While the next LFA, previewed by a new concept, will share a platform with the hybrid GR GT, the Lexus will be electric. We predict around 1000 horsepower and acceleration to 60 mph in the low-two-second range. Solid-state batteries, which Toyota aims to launch by the end of the decade, could achieve up to 430 miles of range. Lexus is also considering a simulated manual transmission with a clutch pedal and shifter to increase driver engagement.
