The next couple of years are set to be huge for car fans, with a wave of new models arriving next year and beyond, from city cars to supercars. Naturally, EVs take centre stage, but this list also includes junior sports cars, hypercars, and family saloons. Here are the new cars we’re most excited about in 2025 and beyond.
BMW’s new X3 SUV will be a pure electric, likely sharing styling with the Neue Classe X seen here with a subtler take on the design language that has proved controversial in the past. BMW is unlikely to resist the temptation to give its new EV an illuminated grille.
It will be very new under the skin, too, with BMW telling us the car will offer big performance, range and charging speed gains versus one of the company’s current EVs. Expect the car to be very practical inside and to have a clean design, with a curved infotainment screen the focal point in the cabin.
The Cupra Raval is an attention-grabbing small SUV that's set to go on sale in 2025. The Raval will avoid the problems encountered by cars like the Fiat 500 and Honda E because it’s expected to have a range of well over 250 miles between charges, rather than the 100-mile odd you’ll get out of the aforementioned competition.
Practicality will also be an interior highlight. Five doors will make the car easy to get in and out of and you can expect it to have plenty of room for a growing family. Cupra has yet to confirm performance but expect the Raval to be brisk rather than fast.
Dacia is a company that’s known for being straight forward, and car’s don’t get more straightforward than the Dacia Bigster – a car that gets its name from being like the Duster, only bigger.
And that pretty much sums up the Bigster. Styling wise, it looks like a Duster that has been blown up in the office photocopier with chunky styling and handy features like roof bars and plastic wheel arch protectors. Inside it’s basic, but with a rugged charm, roomy back seats and a huge boot. The Bigster will be available with hybrid and petrol engines, and you can anticipate four-wheel drive models to be impressively rugged. It’s expected in showrooms in 2025.
Fiat has been talking about a new Panda for a very long time, but it is finally here and it’s called – the Grande Panda. As you’d expect, it’s larger than the current model, with more interior space and a modular cabin design that allows you to click things like small storage areas and shopping bag hooks around the interior.
An EV, the Panda is likely to be offered with two battery options giving a maximum range of nearly 199 miles. Fiat will use the well-known nameplate to launch a new family of models that will include an SUV and a larger family car.
The Gordon Murray Automotive T33 is a slightly less focused alternative to the company’s fan car, the T55, which uses a fan to literally suck itself to the road. The T33 does without the fan, but keeps a version of the T55’s V12 engine, only with a lower rev limiter, pegged back to a still-pretty-heady 11,100rpm.
You can expect the T33 to be an easier car to drive and a more relaxing machine to live with day-to-day, with two seats and a decent luggage capacity split between two compartments, when it goes on sale later this year.
The Jeep Recon will be a tough little SUV designed to bask in the limelight of the larger Wrangler. Like it, the Recon will be impressive off-road and you can expect it to have features like a removable roof and doors. The car’s chunky design will appeal to anyone who likes a proper utilitarian SUV.
While the looks are familiar, the performance will be anything but. Jeep says the Recon will be able to get from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds and will have a range of more than 350 miles.
The Lamborghini Temerario is the company’s petrol-electric replacement for the Huracan, utilising a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 and three electric motors to get from 0-62mph in less than three seconds and onto a top speed of more than 210mph.
Each front wheel gets its own electric motor, with the third motor torque filling when the turbochargers are out of boost. Expect it to focus on being fun to drive, with a four-wheel drive system that allows for long controllable slides. On sale in 2025, the Temerario will likely cost more than £200,000.
A luxurious saloon, the Polestar 5 is the latest addition to the Swedish company’s pure-EV lineup, with five doors and sharp looks that combine practicality with performance. It competes with models like the Porsche Tacyan and the Mercedes EQS.
Performance should be vivid. The 5 has up to 884PS (650kW) for acceleration of 0-62mph in well under four seconds, with 800 Volt architecture for rapid charging. Inside, expect it to have the minimalist Swedish cool we expect of Polestar with upholstery made from 3D knitted recycled plastics.
Soon you’ll be able to buy an electric version of the Range Rover which the company says will be even more capable than its petrol and diesel models, offering super refinement that will be a perfect match for its luxurious interior.
Land Rover will be sure to make the Electric just as capable off-road as a standard and it will likely have a motor on each wheel for superb traction and power modulation. It will also likely be able to spin on its axis like the Mercedes G-Wagon electric.
Porsche will soon reveal electric versions of its Boxster convertible and Cayman sports car, which will potentially be sold alongside petrol models.
Porsche has revealed few details about the new EVs, but expect them to offer even more performance than their petrol alternative and to 800v fast charging. The cars are expected on sale in 2025 and we’re excited to learn more as the launch date approaches.
The new Renault Twingo looks to pick up the baton dropped by the old model, with cute looks and an interior that squeezes as much space as possible out of a tiny footprint.
The new model differs in its electric powertrain. The Twingo will be easier to produce than your average EV, with 75 per cent less CO2 released than your average EV during construction. Its price will likely grab the most attention – Renault reckons it can sell it for around £17,000 when it goes on sale late next year.
Volkswagen's new ID.2 electric hatchback will spawn a performance model called the ID. GTI. Unlike the GTX – the hot version of the ID.3 – the ID. GTI looks like a conventional hot hatch, with red highlights and big wheels giving the flavour of a shrunken Golf GTI.
Most fascinating of all is the news that VW isn't targeting big power figures with its new EV; fun and drivability are the primary targets. It could be a MK1 GTI for a new generation…
