Future EV Cars Coming In 2025 And 2026

The pursuit of a more sustainable future is moving with rapid acceleration. Perhaps no other sector takes point in this pursuit like the automotive industry. Historically, the automotive industry has not focused on sustainable practices. 

According to Thomas Pohl, Senior Director Marketing, Automotive, SAP (as published by Forbes Innovation), “Traditional assembly-line manufacturing processes – many still in use today – use huge amounts of energy, metals, plastics, toxins, and manpower; all leaving behind a massive carbon footprint. On top of that, once vehicles are produced, most require fossil fuels to operate, which subsequently releases harmful emissions. The entire process has a vast environmental impact that has brought us to where we are today.” 

Pohl added, "Business leaders understand that considerable change is required for the future of the automotive industry, and that is why they’re shifting gears.” Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the forefront of this shift, driven by the promise of significantly cutting carbon emissions and redefining the driving experience with cutting-edge technology and design. 

Furthermore,  the euphoria of pure electrification is dead as bigwigs like Ford, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and General Motors scale back their EV investments in favor of hybrids due to consumer disenchantment and other challenges. In any case, here are 13 electric models set to hit the roads in 2025 and 2026. 

1. 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron

• $66,000 est.

The 2025 Q6 e-tron slots perfectly between the smaller Q4 e-tron and the larger Q8 e-tron. The all-electric SUV will debut with a powerful dual-motor setup that gives you all-wheel drive, but a simpler, easier-on-the-pocket, single-motor version will come later. In the meantime, the dual-motor version is pretty impressive. It promises 456 horsepower and can go over 300 miles on a single charge.

 Inside, the all-new Q6 e-tron looks very modern and sleek. A curved display sits on the dashboard, while the seats and other interior portions are wrapped in eco-friendly materials. Customers who prefer a sportier look can go for the Q6 e-tron Sportback, flaunting a fastback design. 

For gearheads big on performance and wish the e-tron has even more power, there’s the SQ6 e-tron, but that’s a different model. When the Q6 e-tron hits the market at the end of 2024, it will compete with other luxury electric SUVs like the Cadillac Lyriq, Genesis Electrified GV70, and Lexus RZ. It will enter production this year as a 2025 model. 

2. 2025 GMC Hummer EV SUV

• Starting MSRP: $98,845

The upcoming all-electric Hummer is a two-row SUV version of the electric SUT (Sport Utility Truck) with up to 830 hp and advanced off-road capabilities. Riding on the same platform as the SUT, the 2025 EV Pickup is huge, powerful, all-electric, and full of a thousand horsepower. 

It’s built ready for daring adventures off the beaten paths and fast driving on regular roads. If you intend to get this SUV to mess around off-road, we will get the Extreme Off-Road package that includes extra protection underneath, special tires, and more. For those content with showing off their cool SUVs on the roads, it has a mode called Watts to Freedom (WTF) that makes it super fast, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. 

Now, that’s what we call “impressive," considering the Hummer's size and weight (We're talking 9,900 lbs). That's almost as fast as the C8 Corvette Stingray. On the efficiency front, the new Hummer EV will travel 311 miles on a single charge with two motors and up to 381 miles with three motors. 

GMC added two new colors: a bright Solar Orange and a more subdued Graphite Blue Metallic. One downer about the SUV is it doesn't charge as quickly or have as much range as other frontrunners like the Rivian R1T. 

3. 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 7

• $50,000 est.

The Hyundai Ioniq 7 is a large, all-electric three-row SUV expected to join Hyundai’s Ioniq family in 2025. Described by Hyundai as a “living space on wheels,” the Ioniq 7 is purpose-built to feel more like a cozy room than a traditional vehicle. 

It’s about the same size as the 3-row Hyundai Palisade, so, you can imagine the spacious interior. The Ioniq 7 rides on a new platform that Hyundai and Kia will use for future EVs. For newbies, automotive platforms are akin to the foundation of a house, but for cars. 

The Ioniq 7 flaunts a very futuristic design, highlighted by unique lighting, shape-shifting wheels, and a sprawling moonroof connecting with a glass rear. The overall delivery feels like something out of a sci-fi movie. Inside, the Ioniq 7 has large doors that open wide and seats that look more like furniture you’d find in a living room. 

The interior is ultra-versatile, allowing various configurations to suit your needs. Hyundai aims for this SUV to have a driving range of over 300 miles on a single charge and to charge very quickly. For example, it could go from 10% to 80% charged in about 20 minutes using a fast charger. It's a concept, but Hyundai plans to let loose the production version in 2025. 

4. 2025 Jeep Recon

• $60,000 est.

The upcoming Jeep Recon is a Wrangler-sized EV with removable doors and glass and strong off-road capabilities. The Recon is a shining demonstration of the once-bludgeoning popularity of electrification for every type of vehicle, from big trucks like the Hummer to fancy SUVs like the Audi. 

The new Recon is a midsize SUV designed to mirror the Wrangler 4xe hybrid's off-road readiness but in a fully electric capacity. It debuts with four-wheel drive, a roof that can fold back, and doors that you can take off easily. Besides the Wrangler, only the Ford Bronco offers similar features. 

The Recon EV has a spare tire mounted on the back and a distinctive 7-slot front grille that lights up. It rides on big, rugged tires and can seat up to five people on floors that are easy to clean. We don’t yet have details like the exact price, range, or power, but we do know it will hit the roads around 2025. 

5. 2024/25 Jeep Wagoneer S

• Starting MSRP: $71,995

How do you feel about a large SUV with up to 400 miles of range and 600 hp? You might want to check out the Wagoneer S. It is Jeep’s first all-electric vehicle, boasting 600 horsepower from two motors, the capacity to exceed 300 miles per charge, and enough oomph to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. 

Despite being a new model, it still features Jeep’s iconic seven-slot grille, but the design is more streamlined to reduce air resistance. The Wagoneer S is smaller than the current Grand Cherokee but still has enough space for five passengers. 

The interior boasts 45 inches of screen space for all driving and entertainment needs. It comes with AWD and multiple driving modes to handle different terrains. One of the coolest things about this SUV is its relatively rapid charging. It can go from 20% to 80% in just 23 minutes using a fast charger. 

The new Wagoneer S is scheduled to hit the road this fall, but we expect more affordable versions to follow later – most likely in 2025. The debut Launch Edition is coming with tasteful features like a panoramic sunroof, 20-inch wheels, a high-end audio system, and lots of tech. 

6. 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport EV

• $120,000 est.

The 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport EV is a fully-electric luxury SUV joining the Range Rover lineup in 2024. We're watching the outcome of an electric Range Rover, the SUV that brought class and luxury to offroading in the 1970s. 

Naturally, the electric Rover looks nearly identical to its gas counterpart and is expected to deliver as much power as the V8-powered ICE models. We don't know for sure, but our money is on a quad motor setup, one for each wheel, just like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class EV. Other things we don’t know for sure include the exact range, power, and price. 

We do know the Range Rover EV will maintain the brand’s signature luxury and off-road capabilities. This new model will be part of the Land Rover lineup in 2025, riding on a long-wheelbase version of the gas Range Rover. According to GearPatrol, the new Range Rover EV will feature a special suspension system that makes room for the EV’s battery and includes rear-wheel steering for better maneuverability. 

7. 2025 Lincoln Aviator EV

• $60,000 est.

^{Lincoln Star Concept}

Lincoln hinted at plans for an electric version of the Aviator back in 2021. Ford reportedly delayed its production to allow the Mustang Mach-E a freer reign of the market, but the Aviator EV's production should start in late 2024 for an early 2025 release. 

Lincoln already embraced electrification with models like the Corsair and Aviator PHEVs (plug-in hybrids). However, the Aviator would be the brand's first all-electric SUV. General Motors beating Ford to the punch with the Cadillac Lyriq is one of the consequences of delaying the Aviator EV's production. 

The Blue Oval is investing a lot in battery technology to make the Aviator happen. We can expect the new Aviator EV to flaunt a modern design, a luxurious interior, and a range of up to 300 miles per charge. If modeled around the Lincoln Star Concept, it has to look sleeker than the current gas-powered Aviator. 

8. 2025 Lotus Eletre

• $110,000 est.

Just to prove the world can’t get any crazier, the British marquee, Lotus, known for its deeply ingrained tradition of building lightweight, well-balanced, and fast sports cars, typically equipped with high-output 4-cylinder engines, has finally broken tradition by venturing into the electric bandwagon – and an SUV, for that matter.

 It’s a high-performance luxury SUV with up to 905 hp on tap, initially available in Europe. The Eletre is an atypical EV built in China and scheduled for US release at the end of 2024. Thanks to its large batteries, it is heavier than the sports cars Lotus is known for. However, the SUV compensates with quick acceleration and a robust 603 horsepower.

 Lotus is targeting heavy hitters like the Audi e-tron and BMW iX. It even has the looks of the Urus. Speaking of the Urus, the Eletre R is the "more performance" variant, delivering 905 horsepower, while the 603-hp mid-range S trim can go 315 miles per charge. 

9. 2025 Lucid Gravity

• $80,000 est.

The Gravity is an SUV version of the Lucid Air sedan that promises similar performance and luxury features. It shares the sedan’s battery cells (but shaped differently) and most of the parts for the motor and electronics, translating to a very fast Gravity, though not as fast as the Air sedan because Gravity is heavier. 

This is like a 3-row Air SUV with a suspension system and chassis adjusted to handle the SUV’s size. It will have two motors and, according to Car and Driver test drivers, feels quick enough for family use. 

They also say it feels stable on the road, though the extra weight and height are inescapable. Some Gravity models will reportedly feature rear-wheel steering. Time will tell how successful Lucid is at delivering an SUV translation of the highly acclaimed Lucid Air sedan. 

10. 2025 Maserati Grecale Folgore

• Staring Price: $110,495

The Grecale is a compact luxury SUV with an all-electric version coming in 2025 as part of the marque’s electrification plans. “Folgore" is Italian for "lightning," a fitting name for a compact electric sports SUV so fast it can blaze 0 to 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds. 

The Folgore benefits 550 horsepower from two electric motors, traveling for up to 255 miles on a full belly. It looks similar to the regular Grecale SUV but has some distinguishing cosmetic features like a unique front grille and wheels. 

This new model will cost over $100,000 and comes with many standard features you don’t have to order separately. You can also add extra options like heated seats and a hands-free trunk. Customers can customize the car's paint, interior, and other details through Maserati’s special program. 

11. 2024/25 Mercedes-EQ EQG

• $168,000 est.

EQ EQG is the prototypical name or designation assigned to the iconic G-Wagon’s electric version. In other words, it’s an electric version of the G-Class SUV, boasting advanced features and riding on a unique platform. 

The question of the day is if the EQG will retain the G-Class' famed off-road capabilities that made the expensive SUV a luxury toy for the rich and celebrated. Debuting the EQ technology for the G-Class bloodline is the one Mercedes is calling the G580, or simply the G-class EV. 

It looks just like the original but runs on an electric powertrain comprising four electric motors, one for each wheel. These motors together produce 579 horsepower, making the G580 as strong as the AMG G63 high-performance gas version. It should hit the road at the close of this year or early 2025. 

12. 2026 Fisker Pear

• $30,000 est.

The Fisker Pear is a sad case of a compact, city-focused EV designed for urban living and promising affordability and practicality, but its future is in a quandary. 

Fisker announced the new small SUV called Pear in 2022. Its name is short for “Personal Electric Automotive Revolution,” which is a bit of a mouthful. You can accuse Fisker of anything, but not for making ugly cars. The Pear blends good looks with affordability. It starts at around $30,000. 

The Pear takes its design cues from its larger sibling Fisker Ocean. The plan was to build it in Ohio with the help of electronics manufacturer Foxconn, outfitting it with some cool techs.  Fisker was already taking reservations for the Pear before news of its impending demise. 

The model was expected for a mid-2025 release as a 2026 model. Unfortunately, Fisker had to file for bankruptcy protection this June and hopes to sell assets to keep its head above water, ultimately putting projects like the Pear in doubt. 

13. 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric

• $80,000 est.

This is an electric version of the popular Cayenne SUV. It promises to bring Porsche’s trademark driving dynamics to the electric arena. Many are skeptical of an electric Cayenne, just like it played out in 2003 when Porsche introduced the brand. 

Porsche fans, enthusiasts, and driving purists scoffed at the idea of an SUV wearing the logo of the traditional sports car maker. The Cayenne found success regardless of the skepticism, going on to become one of Porsche's bestselling models. 

Time will tell if an electric Cayenne will reenact the gas model’s stellar performance. We can trust Porsche to craft an EV that closely mirrors the original Cayenne’s dynamic driving experience and family practicality, sharing a platform with the also upcoming Macan EV. It should debut in late 2025 as a 2026 model.
