Every Electric Vehicle Coming Soon

The Aspark Owl hypercar is the first of what the Japanese EV maker promises will be a lineup of high-dollar hypercars. The Owl produces 1984 horsepower from four electric motors, what it claims is a unique torque-vectoring system, and a 64.0-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with which Aspark promises 280 miles of driving range. The Owl’s claimed top speed is 249 mph, and it’ll cost $3.2 million. Production will be limited to 50 units worldwide, and deliveries will begin in mid-2020. —Connor Hoffman

You may recognize the e-tron GT from Avengers: Endgame, where it made an appearance in concept-car form. Audi says that the production version of this sports sedan will look similar to the attractive concept you see here. We drove a camouflaged RS version in November 2020. Mechanically, it will share its underpinnings and powertrain with the Porsche Taycan and offer 590 horsepower and up to as much as 637 in overboost mode. Base versions make 510 horsepower, or 12 fewer than the Taycan 4S. Audi claims its capable of 249 miles on a single charge, and we estimated it will cost roughly $163,000. It supports 150-kW fast-charging capability when it arrives in 2021. —Joey Capparella

As you might expect from its name, the Q4 e-tron will slot in between Audi’s Q3 and Q5 crossovers in size. But it will be different from both in that it will come only in an all-electric e-tron configuration. Like many of the Volkswagen Group’s upcoming EV models, it will ride on the company’s MEB platform. The Q4 e-tron concept pictured here offers a close look at what the production car will look like when it goes on sale in 2021. —Joey Capparella

BMW’s first “i” cars, the i3 and i8, relied upon wild, futuristic designs to make a statement. The next model in the electric sub-brand will have far more conventional styling, as it’s intended to be similar to the 4-series Gran Coupe four-door hatchback. BMW has already announced that the i4 will have 523 hp and an 80.0-kWh battery pack, and it will start production in 2021. —Joey Capparella

The iNext starts production in 2021 and should arrive in the U.S. sometime later. Europe will get it before we do. It’s intended as a flagship for BMW’s expanded “i” family of electrified vehicles. BMW says it will have a range of over 400 miles with Level 3 autonomous driving capability. —Austin Irwin

First things first: This BMW EV is not U.S. bound. Also, the BMX iX3 was previewed in 2018 and we’re still waiting for it. This iX3 will accommodate 150-kW charging, which is capable of replenishing the battery pack in as little as 30 minutes. Additionally, the iX3 features a model-specific rear-axle subframe to accommodate the new powertrain. 200 miles of range is expected. —Austin Irwin

From a Michigan-based startup come a pair of utilitarian-looking high-end vehicles, including this B1 SUV, each priced at $125,000 and expected to start reaching customers in 2021. They’re targeted at people who are prepared to add a lot of options at extra cost to what’s already a high-end SUV or truck. Both SUV and truck are claimed to offer 614 horsepower, 668 lb-ft of torque, and a 4.5-second zero-to-6o-mph time. The Bollinger B1’s 120.0-kWh battery pack is said to offer up to 200 miles of range. Other specs include a 5000-pound payload capacity and 15 inches of ground clearance. —Laura Sky Brown

The Bollinger B2 pickup has foldable and removable body panels, Jeep Gladiator style, plus locking differentials, disconnecting sway bars front and rear, and up to 20 inches of ground clearance to seal its off-road cred. From there it gets interesting: the B2 will feature both front and rear tailgates, geared axle hubs, a hydropneumatic suspension, and the ability to carry 16-foot pieces of lumber with the tailgate closed. The B2 will cost $125,000, with Bollinger currently taking deposits for an expected 2021 on-sale date. —Laura Sky Brown

Byton’s M-Byte and K-Byte concepts, a crossover and a sedan, were first seen at the CES technology show last January. They’re the leading edge of what’s expected to be a flood of electric vehicles from the Chinese startup, which has only been around since 2016. European countries will get to buy them first, but we expect the M-Byte to start at $45,000 in the U.S. The 272-hp rear-wheel-drive model has a 72.0-kWh battery, as well as two versions with a larger, 95.0-kWh pack: a 408-hp all-wheel drive version and a rear-wheel drive model. Byton says the smaller battery pack can provide up to 224 miles of range and the larger 95-kWh battery is good for up to 286 miles. —Joey Capparella

The first electric Cadillac is almost here, and will be built in Spring Hill, Tennessee alongside other future GM electric vehicles. The Lyriq will be sold in both single-motor rear-wheel drive and dual-motor all-wheel drive variants. Cadillac says it will have a range of more than 300 miles on a single charge, using GM’s modular platform and Ultium scalable battery architecture. Although details are still hush-hush, Cadillac says the Lyriq will likely offer a battery with about 100-kWh worth of capacity, with DC fast charging standard. Photos of the Lyriq’s giant 33.0-inch curved LED display have been shared, and Cadillac recently partnered with a digital design company that’s worked on video games and movies for its look and feel. —Austin Irwin

The Cadillac Celestiq was teased this year as the companies electric four-seat hatchback. Like every future GM EV, it will be built on GM’s Ultium battery platform, and will likely have a driving range of 300 miles or more. Dual-motor all-wheel-drive is also available, and will also have four-wheel steering, likely the same system as already showcased from the GMC Hummer EV. It also features a four-panel “smart glass” roof that can change its level of transparency over each passenger. This will likely be Cadillac’s EV flagship, and start around $100,000. More details coming soon. —Austin Irwin

Chevrolet is fashionably late to the EV-pickup party, as they announced earlier in 2020 that a fully-electric Chevy pickup would go into production before 2025, and that it would be different than the already teased GMC Hummer EV. Chevy can fit 24 modules between the frame and under the body with a battery pack that can store as much as 200.0 kWh of electricity on board. That much juice—Tesla vehicles currently top out at 100.0 kWh—should mean at least 300-mile range for unnamed truck. Unfortunately for Chevy, even startup companies like Lordstown, Nikola, and Rivian all have trucks planned to go on sale sooner. —Austin Irwin

The Faraday Future FF91 once looked like it was going to make waves, but will it ever reach production? We first saw the FF91 at CES 2017, and the startup then said the car was production-ready. It boasts a claimed 1050 horsepower from two rear-mounted electric motors, plus an available front-mounted motor. Faraday Future claims the big crossover can blast from zero­ to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds. A 130.0-kWh battery pack created in partnership with LG Chem is said to provide an estimated 378-mile range. On-sale date is TBA. —Connor Hoffman

Building off its storied best-selling history and recent partnership with Rivian, Ford looks to make an all-electric pickup brawny enough to avoid alienating its central customer base while also drawing in new shoppers interested in owning a pickup, but without the carbon footprint of a gasoline engine. The Ford F-150 electric pickup truck is expected on sale in 2021, putting it squarely in the middle of the fray when Tesla, General Motors, Bollinger, and others are bringing out their electric trucks. It’s too soon for detailed specs, but Ford did pull off an impressive stunt in July when it had an electric F-150 tow a million pounds’ worth of—naturally—F-150 pickups loaded onto rail cars. Stand by for the inevitable Tesla Cybertruck vs. Ford F-150 electric-truck comparisons. —Maxwell B. Mortimer

Very much a concept, the Genesis Essentia is a slick luxury coupe planned for possible production. Hyundai invested $90 million in the Croatian carmaker Rimac which specializes in battery-electric supercars, a year after this concept debuted. If it happens, it would be the first EV from the Hyundai/Kia luxury brand. —Austin Irwin

The GMC Hummer EV is expected to come as both an SUV and pickup. It will be offered with a one-, two-, and three-motor with a promised 1000 horsepower with an insane 11,500 lb-ft of torque. GMC announced it would have removable roof panels, four-wheel-drive and a four-wheel steering crab walk mode. The Hummer debut was delayed to the global pandemic, but they still plan to sell the initial dual-motor 100hp model for $112,595 in 2021. —Austin Irwin

Jaguar dove headfirst into the EV pool with the unprecedented I-Pace electric hatchback, and the company is doubling down by turning one of its most iconic models, the XJ luxury sedan, into an EV. We hear that the electric XJ will use the same platform, battery pack, and electric motors as the I-Pace, but it will surely be more elegantly styled, as is befitting a flagship luxury sedan. Expect it to arrive sometime in 2020. —Joey Capparella

Aston Martin has relaunched the Lagonda name as an all-electric luxury brand for the upper crust. It’s wagon hull rides on the same platform as the Aston Martin DBX, which makes us wonder how close an electric DBX is from production. Aston boss Andy Palmer told us that he expects electric models to have performance similar to the brand’s gasoline equivalents and that he expects more than 300 miles between visits to the plug. —Austin Irwin

The Lordstown Motors Endurance electric pickup truck, announced the same day as the Tesla Cybertruck (which is perhaps not merely a coincidence), is Lordstown’s first vehicle. Lordstown didn’t release many details for the truck, but they are taking $1000 deposits on the $52,500 pickup. The truck will have a four-wheel-drive hub motor system with a claimed 250-mile range and will be built in Lordstown, Ohio, formerly the site of a GM plant. Deliveries for the vehicle will start in late 2020. —Colin Beresford

Lotus is planning on making another track-ready carbon-fiber car, but in a twist, which it makes 1254 lb-ft of, it’ll be all-wheel drive, make an absurd 1972 horsepower, and (gasp) will be an EV. Lotus is planning to call this monster the Evija, and only 130 will be made, at a price of $2.1 million each. There’s no word on what range can be expected, but Lotus claims that it can charge up to 80 percent in 12 minutes thanks to ultrafast charging rates. Other track-ready goodies include a pushrod-operated rear suspension and extensive aerodynamic bits that include a diffuser with a drag-reduction system and an adjustable rear wing. —Mihir Maddireddy

This California startup, founded in 2007 as a battery-technology company, announced it would build a Tesla-fighting electric four-door sedan in 2016, but the car’s actual arrival seemed in question until recently. This year, though, Lucid Motors received a $1 billion investment from Saudi Arabia and in November broke ground on its future assembly plant in Casa Grande, Arizona. It has also partnered with Electrify America’s network of chargers, so the promised luxury sedan looks a lot closer to reality now. Lucid promises 400 miles of range, 1000 horsepower, a top speed of “over 200 mph,” and a zero-to-6o-mph time of 2.5 seconds, plus over-the-air updates and autonomous-driving technology. The company announced it will start production in 2021, after the factory’s first stage of construction is completed. —Laura Sky Brown

Mazda’s first fully electric vehicle, the MX-30, is a quirky small crossover with rear half-doors reminiscent of the RX-8 sports car. Confirmed for the U.S. market, but if it does come, we think it will arrive sometime in late 2022. Initial specs show a tiny, 35.5-kWh battery pack, which provides a short 124-mile driving range. In global markets, the MX-30 makes 144-horsepower from it’s front-wheel-drive electric motor. Mazda has also talked about using a small rotary engine as a range extender for an EV but hasn’t detailed that powertrain for the MX-30 yet. —Joey Capparella

Mercedes-Benz’s entirely new EV lineup will be part of what they’re calling the EQ family. The Mercedes-Benz EQA, is their electric compact SUV, that was spotted testing in the early months of 2020. Although Mercedes-Benz has been pretty tight-lipped about range, or other powertrain details, expect to see the EQA on sale later in 2021. —Austin Irwin

The Mercedes-Benz EQC400 4Matic, Mercedes’s first electric vehicle, is a compact crossover with an estimated range of 200 miles. The luxury vehicle starts at $68,895 and is slated to reach showrooms in early 2021. We tested the EQC this past spring and found it hewed closely to the values Mercedes is known for: comfort, quietness, and precision in steering. It comes with two electric motors which offer all-wheel drive and a claimed 4.9-second zero-to-60-mph time. —Colin Beresford

Somewhere between Tesla Model 3 and Model S size, the Mercedes-Benz EQE hasn’t been revealed yet, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it at the 2021 Munich auto show. It’s based on Mercedes’s modular MEA architecture, a platform said to yield more interior space than a gasoline-powered vehicle of the same exterior dimensions. The all-wheel-drive EQE will have electric motors in both front and back. C/D has estimated the EQC’s range at around 200 miles. —Austin Irwin

The S-class flagship sedan occupies a special place in Mercedes-Benz’s lineup, and the “S” in the upcoming EQS electric vehicle’s name suggests that it, too, will have a lofty mission. EQ designates this new model as part of Mercedes’ electric sub-brand, and spy photos suggest that it will have an odd body shape that’s not quite a sedan, not quite a hatchback, not quite a crossover, but more of a mishmash of all three. ADaimler chairman says the EQS EV will have a WLTP range of over 435 miles, but it should arrive in later in 2021. —Joey Capparella

Daimler CEO Ola Källenius recently said that the company plans to build an electric G-class, although it’s most likely that we’ll see a plug-in-hybrid version of the classic G-wagen before we see an all-electric version. When the EV model does arrive, likely sometime around 2022, we can expect that it’ll be called the EQG. After all, Mercedes’s current electric SUV is called the EQC, and we’ve seen spy photos of the electric S-class that’s likely to be called EQS. —Connor Hoffman

The Nissan Ariya is Nissan’s second fully electric vehicle and built on what Nissan has created with the Leaf. Nissan said the most powerful version of this electric crossover has 389 hp, while the longest-range model promises to go 300 miles on a charge. It’ll feature Nissan’s new semi-autonomous driving system, ProPilot 2.0, and a dual front/rear motor drive configuration. The Ariya will arrive in Japan first, but the U.S. will see it sometime later in 2021 with with a starting price of around $40,000. —Colin Beresford

Porsche recently announced that the next generation of its Macan crossover will go full electric. The Porsche Macan EV will be based on the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) platform that is being co-developed with Audi. It will have the same 800-volt tech as the next Taycan and will probably share its electric motors and battery packs, too. Porsche plans to start production of the Macan EV in 2022. —Connor Hoffman

The Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo concept is the wagon version of the Taycan EV. Following the path blazed by the raised ride height and plastic-clad wheel arches of its corporate cousin, the Audi A4 Allroad, the Mission E Cross Turismo is an all-electric, off-road-ready wagon that’s claimed to be capable of a 3.5-second zero-to-60-mph time. A release date is unknown, although Porsche confirmed in October 2018 that the Cross Turismo is going into production.

American startup Rivian has a production-ready truck, called the Rivian R1T, prepared to take the EV truck fight to the likes of Bollinger and Tesla. The R1T comes standard with all-wheel drive, the ability to tow up to 11,000 pounds, adjustable air suspension, and Level 3 autonomous-driving capabilities. The three battery packs that are available are 105.0, 135.0, and 180.0 kWh, with ranges of 230, 300, and 400 miles, respectively. Rivian claims that models equipped with the 180.0-kWh pack can hit 60 mph in a supercar-like 3.0 seconds. Look for Rivian R1T to start moving toward the marketplace in 2021 with a starting price of around $69,000. —Mihir Maddireddy

The people at the startup Rivian aren’t just making an electric truck; they’re making an electric SUV, too. Built on the same platform as the R1T, the R1S shares the same battery pack options and ranges as its truck sibling. In fact, the main differences between the truck and SUV are that the SUV can only tow 7716 pounds to the truck’s 11,000, and that the SUV can seat up to seven compared to the truck’s five. The R1S is set to compete against the likes of the Tesla Model X and will go on sale in 2020 just after the R1T, with a starting price of $72,500. —Mihir Maddireddy

Subaru and Toyota are jointly producing a pair of electric SUVs that will share a platform. The platform the two manufacturers are collaborating on will be for “mid-size and large passenger vehicles.” Neither auto maker currently offers a fully electric vehicle in the U.S., but it’s possible the new EVs built on this platform will hit the market as soon as 2021. —Colin Beresford

To say that the design of the Tesla Cybertruck is polarizing is a massive understatement, and the Cybertruck itself is massive—a hunk made of stainless steel and hubris that we estimate could weigh upward of 9000 pounds in its production version. CEO Elon Musk has claimed as many as 200,000 would-be buyers have put down deposits in less than a week after the Cybertruck’s unveiling on November 21. Its dimensions, which are similar to those for the market-dominating Ford F-150, and its stainless-steel unibody make it an intriguing potential addition to the coming glut of EV pickup trucks. The first, lowest-range version (250-plus miles) is claimed to be priced starting under $40,000, with a production time that will be “near” in late 2021. —Laura Sky Brown

The Tesla Roadster‘s second generation has been announced for 2020. It has a claimed zero-to-60-mph time of 1.9 seconds, an 8.8-second quarter-mile time, and a top speed of 250 mph. The Roadster will likely have an all-wheel-drive system with a pair (or maybe even three) electric motors that, along with a 200.0-kWh battery pack, can give this two-door a range of up to 620 miles. We expect the starting price to be around $200,000, a worthy price if the Roadster can live up to the performance claims. —Mihir Maddireddy

The Volvo XC40 Recharge is the first all-electric vehicle from Volvo, offering what Volvo claims as more than 200 miles of range. The Swedish automaker based its first EV off the existing XC40 mid-size luxury crossover, which has a platform designed to support electrification from the start. The Recharge is capable of charging up to 80 percent in 40 minutes using a fast-charge system at 50.0 kWh. Other cool features include over-the-air updates, and a claimed zero-to-6o-mph time of 4.7 seconds. Comparable EVs including the Audi e-tron and Jaguar iPace, which offer similar performance and range, are far more expensive than the $50,000 Volvo, which sets it up to make an impact when it goes on sale in the latter half of 2020. —Mihir Maddireddy

VW’s second EV, launching in 2022, will be a modern take on its first-generation Type 2 Microbus from the 1950s and 1960s. As with its revival of the Beetle in the late 1990s, VW hopes the new Microbus, or whatever its name is for production, tugs at the heartstrings of boomers everywhere. As with its other coming EVs, the Buzz will use the same MEB-platform component set, with a battery pack integrated into the floor, and will likely have room for six to eight people. —Dave VanderWerp

VW has EV ambitions for the U.S. market; its U.S. CEO, Scott Keogh, predicts that by 2025, 16 to 17 percent of its vehicles sold in the U.S. (that’s about 60,000 per year) will be electric. Those sales will come from three new EVs based on its MEB architecture, starting with a small crossover in 2020 based on the I.D. Crozz concept that may be called ID.4. It will be offered with front- or all-wheel drive and the choice of either 62.0- or 82.0-kWh battery packs that should provide 200 to 300 miles of range. —Dave VanderWerp

The Volkswagen I.D. Space Vizzion concept made its debut at the Los Angeles auto show, where it looked very production ready. It will be VW’s third U.S. EV offering, coming in 2022. Although wagons are a perpetually tough sell in the U.S., VW touts its large interior and high aerodynamic efficiency, which help to boost the large wagon’s range to a claimed 300 miles. —Dave VanderWerp
