Motoring New EVs to look out for …

Electric cars continue to grow in demand, and customers have greater choice when it comes to EVs than ever. From vans to sports cars, let’s take a look at the exciting new EVs due on sale in the next twelve months.

BMW i7

BMW’s electric i7 has all of its latest technology –including a 32-inch cinema screen for rear passengers. Offering strong performance and an impressive electric range of 388 miles, the first examples arrived in the UK at the start of this year.

Ford E-Transit Custom

The new Ford E-Transit Custom packs a whole host of useful technology for businesses, along with a 236-mile range, one of the longest of any electric van. First deliveries are expected towards the end of the year.

Hyundai Ioniq 6

Hyundai’s new Ioniq 6 is due to arrive in the UK in early 2023 and boasts a 320-mile range thanks to its impressively aerodynamically efficient shape. It will be packed with technology and will be one of the fastestcharging EVs around.

Jeep Avenger

Jeep’s first EV – the Avenger – is set to arrive in the middle of the year. It offers an electric range close to 250 miles and outstanding ground clearance. Initially available as frontwheel drive only, a four-wheel drive version is due later.

Lexus RZ

The RZ is Lexus’s first bespoke electric car. With a sharp design, it introduces a number of new technologies, including the optional ‘One Motion Grip’ yoke steering wheel. Range figures are to be confirmed.

Maserati GranTurismo Folgore

Maserati’s next-generation GranTurismo EV will be known as the Folgore (thunderbolt) and is set to arrive before the end of 2023. It boasts a huge 750bhp and 1,350Nm of torque, giving 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds. 279 miles of range is claimed.

Peugeot e-308

Peugeot’s e-308 will arrive in the second half of 2023 and an e-308 SW will also be offered, being one of few EV estate cars on the market. Peugeot is targeting a 248-mile electric range and the same level of style and quality as the rest of the 308 model line.

Polestar 3

Sharing the same platform as the upcoming Volvo EX90, the Polestar 3 packs a stunning new design and more than 500bhp in the case of top-spec versions. The 3 will use a host of new digital features – including semi-autonomous driving and a new infotainment system – and boasts a range of up to 379 miles. It arrives in late 2023.

Rolls-Royce Spectre

Rolls-Royce’s Spectre will arrive in late 2023 as its very first EV. Rolls-Royce says the Spectre is the ‘world’s first ultra-luxury electric super coupe’. Brimful of technology, it will arrive with a high price and a range of up to 320 miles.

Smart #1

Smart’s #1 SUV is set to go on sale in early 2023 ahead of September deliveries, and is a far cry from the dinky ForTwo. Designed by Mercedes and engineered by Geely, the #1 offers a fun and spacious interior, and is a welcome entry to the compact electric SUV class. There will also be a Brabus version sold with more than 400bhp.
