The shift toward electrification shows no signs of slowing down, and automakers across every price point continue to expand their battery-powered lineups. From legacy luxury marques to upstart performance brands, nearly every manufacturer has an electric vehicle in the pipeline that hasn’t reached showrooms yet. Whether you’re tracking the next wave of electric SUVs, sedans, or even electric sports cars, here’s a comprehensive rundown of the upcoming electric vehicles set to arrive over the next few years, complete with expected specs, release timelines, and design details.
Alfa Romeo Giulia EV — Expected 2028
Alfa Romeo has confirmed that its gas-powered Giulia sedan will be reengineered with a fully electric powertrain in the coming years. The base version is expected to produce around 350 horsepower, while a sportier Veloce trim should push closer to 800 horsepower. The range-topping model will retain the storied Quadrifoglio badge and could exceed 1000 horsepower. Built on Stellantis’s STLA Large platform, the new Giulia will feature an 800-volt architecture for ultra-rapid charging and a projected range of up to 500 miles. Recent reports suggest Alfa Romeo may also offer combustion-engine variants alongside the EV, similar to the strategy Dodge has taken with the Charger.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio EV — Expected 2027
Ahead of the next Giulia, Alfa Romeo will roll out an all-new Stelvio SUV. Riding on the same STLA Large platform, the Stelvio will be offered with both hybrid and fully electric powertrains. Development delays mean the electric version likely won’t reach the United States until 2027, but early renderings suggest a sleeker, more aerodynamic profile than the outgoing model.
Alpine EVs — Expected Around 2030
Alpine, Renault’s performance-focused subsidiary, has long-term plans to bring electric sports cars to the U.S. market. The rollout was originally set to be led by the compact A390 crossover, which packs a 470-hp tri-motor setup, but tariff-related complications have pushed timelines back. Alpine now says its American debut may instead center on an electric successor to the A110 sports car alongside a larger SUV, though a firm launch date remains unclear.
Audi TT EV — Expected 2027
Audi’s next-generation electric sports car, previewed by the striking Concept C, is slated to arrive in 2027. Roughly the same length as a Porsche 911, the production model is expected to slot between the outgoing TT and R8 in terms of performance while introducing a new design language for the brand. The interior emphasizes physical controls, including a retractable screen, and the car was designed with rear-wheel drive, though a dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is also planned. It may share underpinnings with an upcoming Porsche 718 EV.
Bentley Torcal — Expected 2027
Bentley’s first electric vehicle, dubbed the Torcal, will slot beneath the Bentayga in the brand’s lineup when it’s revealed in 2026. Despite being labeled “compact,” the SUV will stretch nearly 197 inches long. The EXP 15 concept previewed its bold, squared-off styling and luxurious cabin. The Torcal may share a platform with an upcoming electric Porsche Cayenne, with U.S. sales expected to begin in early 2027, though additional Bentley EVs have reportedly been delayed until at least 2030.
BMW i3 — Expected Late 2026
The all-new BMW i3 will serve as an electric counterpart to the long-running 3-Series, built on the brand’s new Neue Klasse platform that also underpins the iX3. An 800-volt architecture supports charging speeds up to 400 kW, while a 109-kWh battery is expected to deliver roughly 440 miles of range. The launch trim, the 50 xDrive, will send 463 hp and 476 lb-ft of torque to all four wheels. Inside, a thin display spans the base of the windshield alongside a trapezoidal touchscreen, marking a dramatic shift from BMW’s current interior layout. Sales should begin before the end of 2026.
BMW iM3 — Expected 2027
The i3 will also spawn an electric M3 variant, likely badged the iM3. Built on BMW’s next-generation 800-volt platform, the performance sedan is expected to use a quad-motor setup — two motors per axle — producing well over 600 horsepower. The front motors can reportedly be decoupled to extend range, and BMW is developing simulated gearshifts and engine sounds, sampling classic engines like the E92 M3’s V-8, to preserve some of the drama associated with the M badge. The Concept M Neue Klasse offers a preview of its aggressive exterior styling.
BMW iX3 — Expected Summer 2026
The iX3 will serve as the electric equivalent of BMW’s popular X3 SUV and introduces a redesigned interpretation of the brand’s signature grille. The launch model will feature dual motors producing 463 hp, enough for a 4.9-second sprint to 62 mph. A 109-kWh battery should deliver close to 400 miles of range with charging speeds up to 400 kW. Inside, a 43-inch head-up display strip runs along the windshield’s base in place of a traditional gauge cluster, complemented by a 17.9-inch touchscreen. Sales begin summer 2026.
BMW iX4 — Expected 2027
BMW is also developing an electric version of the sleeker, coupe-styled X4, expected to be called the iX4. Closely related to the iX3, it will launch exclusively with electric powertrains and likely spawn its own M-branded variant. Production is rumored to start in late 2026, with U.S. sales following in 2027.
BMW iX5 — Expected Q1 2027
BMW’s iX5 will bring electrification to the mid-size X5 SUV, sharing its Neue Klasse-inspired styling with the current gas-powered model while riding on an updated version of BMW’s existing CLAR platform. The launch trim, the iX5 60 xDrive, produces 570 hp and 593 lb-ft of torque with roughly 435 miles of range and 460-kW charging capability. Distinctive touches include touch-capacitive door winglets and an X-shaped headlight signature. U.S. sales are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
Caterham Project V — Expected 2027
Known for stripped-down sports cars, Caterham is preparing an electric coupe for its U.S. debut in 2027. The Project V will use a 268-hp Yamaha-sourced electric motor on the rear axle, paired with a unique split battery arrangement — one pack between the seats and another beneath the rear bench. Caterham is targeting a sub-4.5-second zero-to-62-mph time and a price around $135,000.
Ferrari Luce — Expected Spring 2027
Ferrari’s first electric vehicle, the Luce, arrives in the U.S. in spring 2027. Co-designed in part by former Apple designer Jony Ive, its four-door silhouette blends sedan and SUV proportions and reportedly achieves the lowest drag coefficient of any roadgoing Ferrari. A quad-motor setup produces 1035 horsepower, propelling the nearly 5000-pound car to 62 mph in a claimed 2.5 seconds. A 122-kWh battery should offer just under 300 miles of range, with 800-volt architecture enabling charging up to 350 kW. Ferrari says a system captures and amplifies real rear-axle noise rather than relying on a synthetic soundtrack. Prices start around $640,000.
Fiat Topolino — Expected 2026
Fiat plans to bring its ultra-compact Topolino to the U.S., sitting below the 500e in size and price. Measuring under 100 inches long, it produces just eight horsepower with a 28-mph top speed, and a 5.5-kWh battery provides roughly 47 miles of range. In Europe, the Topolino is classified as a quadricycle rather than a car; in the U.S., it will likely be sold under Low Speed/Neighborhood Electric Vehicle rules.
Ford Small EV Truck — Expected 2027
Ford’s new Universal EV platform will debut with a small electric pickup roughly the size of the Maverick externally, though Ford claims interior space rivaling the Toyota RAV4. The truck will use a 400-volt architecture and lithium-iron-phosphate batteries to control costs, which may mean less range and slower charging than rivals. Ford is promising quick acceleration with a rear-wheel-drive base configuration, and an all-wheel-drive option is expected. A starting price near $30,000 is targeted, with Kentucky production beginning in 2027.
Genesis GV60 Magma — Expected 2026
Genesis is launching a new performance sub-brand called Magma, aimed squarely at BMW M and Mercedes-AMG, starting with the electric GV60 Magma. Closely related to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV6 GT, it produces up to 641 hp and 583 lb-ft of torque in short boost bursts, with a sustained 601 hp and 546 lb-ft otherwise. Retuned adaptive dampers and upgraded brakes round out the performance package. U.S. arrival is expected sometime in 2026.
Genesis GV90 — Expected 2026
Genesis’s electric flagship SUV was effectively confirmed with the reveal of the opulent Neolun concept. Expected to be badged GV90, it will share underpinnings with the Kia EV9 and the production Hyundai Ioniq 7, offering around 250 miles of range and roughly 500 horsepower from dual motors. The real showcase, however, will be the cabin — the Neolun’s quilted purple leather and ornate trim hint at a lavishly appointed interior.
Hyundai Ioniq 6 N — Expected 2026
Hyundai is bringing a high-performance version of its Ioniq 6 sedan for 2026, borrowing the dual-motor, 601-hp powertrain from the Ioniq 5 N, with a boost function that raises output to 641 hp for 10 seconds. Hyundai claims a 3.2-second zero-to-60-mph time, along with simulated engine noise and virtual gearshifts. Visual upgrades include a swan-neck rear wing, wider fenders, and a more aggressive front splitter. Pricing should start around $60,000.
Hyundai Electric Van — Expected 2028
A new partnership between Hyundai and General Motors will produce a shared electric van platform for the U.S. market, built domestically starting in 2028. Both Hyundai and Chevrolet are expected to offer distinct versions with unique interior and exterior styling atop the same underpinnings, though most technical details have yet to be revealed.
Jaguar Type 01 — Expected 2027
Jaguar is repositioning itself as an exclusive, high-end electric luxury brand, beginning with a four-door grand tourer expected to debut in late 2026. Camouflaged prototypes suggest styling closely tied to the polarizing Type 00 concept. A tri-motor powertrain is expected to produce over 986 horsepower, with a targeted EPA range of at least 430 miles and the ability to add 200 miles of range in just 15 minutes of fast-charging. Pricing should start around $130,000.
Kia EV3 — Expected Late 2026
Following the success of the EV6 and EV9, Kia’s compact EV3 is expected to reach the U.S. by late 2026. Its boxy exterior design pairs with a familiar Kia cabin layout. The base model uses a 58-kWh battery for around 220 miles of range, while a larger 81-kWh pack extends that to 320 miles. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel-drive versions producing 261 hp and a GT trim topping the range at 288 hp. Pricing is expected to start near $35,000.
