There's never been a better time to think about going electric, and it looks very much like 2026 is going to be a bumper year for new EVs arriving on the market.
Here’s a list of every upcoming car that we know about in 2026 – including some we've already driven – all the way from Alfa to Volvo. And don't think it's just huge SUVs, either – this will be the year that EVs finally got useful for everyone.
Alfa Romeo
Giulia
Price: £60,000 / Range: 500 miles / On sale: Mid 2026
The current Giulia’s been on sale for 10 years, so we’re definitely overdue a new one. The new saloon will feature an electric version for the first time – all part of Alfa’s Stellantis backed renaissance. But let's hope that Alfa can inject a bit of Latin passion into its EVs
Stelvio
Price: £65,000 / Range: 400 miles / On sale: Early 2026
Alfa’s flagship SUV is another ageing warhorse due an all-new model in 2026. Underbits will be shared with Jeep’s Wagoneer and the new Stelvio should manage up to around 400 miles of range
Alpine
A110 electric
Price: £65,000 / Range: 370 miles / On sale: Late 2026
Alpine hinted at an electric A110 ages ago with the E-ternité concept, but it’s been an e-ternité and we’ve had to wait for the all-new model. Alpine reckons this will drive better than the new electric Porsche Cayman, which is a bold statement to make. Especially when we've been waiting so long for either of the cars to appear on the market...
Audi
Q9
Price: £100,000 (est) / Range: 400 miles / On sale: Mid 2026
Is the Q7 a bit small for you? Audi’s range-topping new Q9 seven-seater will be the *ahem* practical option among the company’s ginormous SUV options. Expect prices to sail past £100k though, even if a 400-mile range will be on the table
A3 e-tron
Price: £40,000 / Range: 350 miles / On sale: Late 2026
This is the new Audi we know least about at the moment, though we don't expect to see it until late in the year – the entry level electric crossover has been spotted testing, and will be revealed at some point in 2026, possibly with some revived A3 e-tron badging. From testing photos there was some expectation that the elegantly swoopy car might take up the A2 badge again, but who knows what Audi's naming system is this week
Bentley
‘Luxury urban SUV’
Price: £150,000 (est) / Range: 375 miles / On sale: Late 2026
We’ve only seen it under a sheet so far, but Bentley’s new ‘baby’ SUV will still be huge at five metres long and shares its electric undercarriage with the new Porsche Cayenne Electric, so it should be good. It's going to sit beneath the Bentayga in the range, and we're assuming from the 'luxury urban' badge on the concept version that it will be squarely aimed at a plush ride and a decent on-road drive rather than trying to go off-road at the polo
BMW
iX3
Price: £59,000 / Range: 500 miles / On sale: Early 2026
The new iX3 is supposed to be a game changer for the whole BMW brand, and we really like what we’ve seen of the electric SUV so far. No one can argue with a mooted 500 miles of WLTP range, plus the 'Neue Klasse' design harks back to BMW's 1960s reinvention and looks great. So BMW has toned down the obnoxious styling and it's bringing innovative, efficient tech to the table. Most important car of the year? Ginny certainly thinks so – read her first look report below.
Read our BMW iX3 first look – how good will the iX3 be?
i3
Price: £45,000 / Range: 500 miles / On sale: Mid 2026
A new 3-Series is a big deal, this is a bread and butter model for BMW and for the first time it comes with a bit of electric-flavoured spread. That metaphor didn’t work, but the Neue Klasse-inspired 3 should work quite well. Not to be confused with the smaller, cooler, older i3
M3
Price: £100,000 / Range: 360 miles / On sale: Late 2026
The new electric version of the 3-Series will get a scorching M-badged version too. Fun to drive performance electric cars are few and far between, but if anyone can make it work, BMW can
Cupra
Raval
Price: £25,000 / Range: 270 miles / On sale: Mid 2026
There’s a lot to like about the Raval from what we've seen of it so far in concept form – it’s got all the personality that will be missing from the Volkswagen ID.Cross it shares its engineering with, but it’ll still be nicely put together and offer plenty of range. The car is named after a hipster neighbourhood in Barcelona, but don't let that put you off

Dacia
Spring
Price: £15,000 / Range: 140 miles / On sale: Early 2026
Dacia’s likeable runabout has had some tweaks for 2026, with more power and improved battery tech but still with the low, low prices. The Spring is absolutely perfect for some light touch commuting

Denza
Z9 GT
Price: £75,000 / Range: 400 miles / On sale: Late 2026
BYD’s new posh sub-brand arrives with a fancy four-door saloon that looks sleek and will come with a PHEV or full electric option. If you like tech you’ll love showing this off to your friends
Ferrari
Elettrica
Price: £450,000 / Range: 330 miles / On sale: Late 2026
Ferrari’s first EV will be controversial, and we've only seen the batteries so far. The crossover-style sporty SUV shuns a V12 in favour of four e-motors pumping out over 1,000bhp. It won’t be cheap to juice up with a 122kWh battery, or buy with a rumoured £450k price
Firefly
Firefly EV
Price: £25,000 (tbc) / Range: 205 miles / On sale: Late 2026
Firefly is a new sub-brand from carmaker Nio, which is also coming to the UK at some point soon. It's getting hard to keep up with all these new Chinese brands (especially if you're an established European manufacturer... ) but the Firefly is fairly distinctive little thing and has lots to like about it on paper. Like the front and rear underseat storage, or the way that the front has been designed with a bench seat in case your parking space is too much of a squeeze. Those distinctive headlights might prove a bit polarising, but we're looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the Firefly and seeing how it stacks up against the competition.
Genesis
GV90
Price: £100,000 / Range: 350 miles / On sale: Late 2026
Genesis is looking to top out its range in 2026 with a sleek looking new six-seat SUV that will offer around 400 miles of range and go head to head with the likes of the new electric Range Rover and BMW X7
GV60 Magma
Price: £100,000 / Range: 250 miles / On sale: Early 2026
Hyundai’s posh sub-brand has developed itself a racy orange “alter ego”, and the GV60 will be the first Magma-badged car we see. Expect fast bits shared with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and a crazy price
Geely
EX2
Price: £20,000 / Range: 255 miles / On sale: Early 2026
Volvo/Polestar/Lotus owner Geely is adding to its burgeoning own brand range of cars (it’s aiming for a Tesco Finest sort of vibe, but we’ll see) in the UK with this new small crossover, the EX2. The car might be new to us, but it’s actually the second bestselling EV in the world in 2025 thanks to its strong sales in China. Can it replicate that success in the UK? Aim high little one
Honda
0 SUV
Price: £45,000 / Range: 300 miles / On sale: Late 2026
Honda promised it was taking the EV back to 0 with this SUV concept that’s going into production in 2026. That’s car speak for starting from scratch, but we’re promised exciting tech to match the exciting looks. Let's keep our fingers crossed that this is the first production car to actually look like the concept...
0 Saloon
Price: £60,000 / Range: 300 miles / On sale: Late 2026
The second of Honda’s reset launches in 2026. Does the concept car look like a portable car vacuum? Sure, but nothing else on the market does, and that’s what will set the four door 0 Saloon apart
Hyundai
Ioniq 3
Price: From £33,000 / Range: 380 miles / On sale: Mid 2026
The new Ioniq 3 is as good looking as we’ve come to expect from recent Hyundais. It looks like the old Veloster, but hopefully it’ll sell more. This will be Hyundai’s most accessible EV yet…
Read our first look at the new Ioniq 3 here
Ioniq 6 N
Price: From £70,000 / Range: 291 miles / On sale: Early 2026
The fast 5 was an absolute riot, now the Ioniq 6 saloon gets the bonkers N treatment. We like the refreshed look of the 6, and N has given it a thorough going over – 0–62mph in 3.2 seconds! And 650hp for £70k might be offer some of the best bang for your buck in the performance EV market. Especially when you consider it's got all the fun stuff from the 5 N in there.
