The majority of brands plan to significantly increase the number of EVs they offer in the upcoming months. The latest additions span the price spectrum from reasonably priced vehicles such as the Citroën ë-C3 and Dacia Spring to extremely expensive masterpieces like the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Something suitable for every individual is on its way.
Continue reading for our guide to the brand-new electric vehicles that will go on sale in 2024:
A similar set of chassis changes to the smaller Abarth 500e is anticipated for the fun-focused version of Fiat’s adorable new electric crossover, which will ride lower and stiffer to improve handling. Aside from the 154 horsepower of the base model, it might also get a little power boost, an Abarth-specific bright paint job, and more aggressive styling.
Since 2020, the Aiways U5, a family SUV from China, has been available for purchase in continental Europe. It is a competent, if uninspired, vehicle. It will be priced to compete with the Skoda Enyaq when it goes on sale in the UK and other countries later in 2024.
The new supercar from Alfa Romeo will be available with an electric or petrol powertrain. The electric powertrain uses three motors to produce a combined 739bhp of power. As the name would imply, Alfa has not disclosed how many of the 33 units it plans to build will be electric.
For the first time since the Mito’s retirement, Alfa Romeo will return to the B-segment with its first mainstream EV, a sporting sibling of the Jeep Avenger. Its four-wheel-drive, dual-motor powertrain and chassis are designed to prioritize engaging handling. There are plans to create a hotter Quadrifoglio version as well.
Based on the upcoming new Renault 5, Alpine’s entry into the mainstream market will commence with the A290, an electric hot hatch. With torque vectoring to replicate a conventional limited-slip differential on the front-mounted motor and several chassis enhancements, such as hydraulic bump-stops to enhance the ride without sacrificing handling and the A110’s four-piston brakes, it has been built with agility as its top priority.
A290 will be joined by a vehicle built on the Renault Mégane E-Tech’s CMF-EV platform, which will be used to enter the crucial C-SUV class. It is anticipated to be in line with the Lotus Eletre and Polestar 3: an opulent model with enough room for a family and a competitive edge.
Audi’s badge system will undergo a significant change with the introduction of the electric A6, with EVs using even numbers and ICE models using odd ones. The new A6 will have ranges of up to 400 miles and the capacity for power outputs exceeding 500 horsepower thanks to its PPE architecture, which is also the basis for the new Q6.
With the chunky A6 equivalent, Audi has prioritized efficiency and used clever silicon-carbide semiconductors to reduce energy waste. As a result, it can travel 373 miles on a battery of about 100 kWh, which is comparable to the range of the BMW iX.
Desire an upscale electric estate? Up until now, the only options available to you have been the Porsche Taycan Cross and Sport Turismo models. However, soon, BMW will be adding a hatchback boot to the i5 saloon. With only minor sacrifices to performance and range, expect a significant increase in luggage capacity.
BMW’s entry-level coupé-SUV, now available in a second generation, gets an electric powertrain packing 308 horsepower and 364 lb-ft. It boasts a maximum charging rate of 130kW and an official range of 279 miles.
Later this year, the Chinese giant BYD will add the Seal U, a rival to the Tesla Model Y, to its lineup in Europe. Its impressive Seal saloon and its e-Platform 3.0-based battery, which has 71kWh and 87kWh capacities respectively, can be recharged at up to 150kW. As per BYD’s pricing strategy in the UK, it is anticipated to come in lower than the Model Y.
One of the most anticipated vehicles of 2024 is the electric variant of the new C3, which will be among the least expensive EVs on the market by a wide margin. That amounts to a 44kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack with a 199-mile official range and 100kW of charging capacity.
The Volkswagen ID 5’s sporting sibling will be offered with a four-wheel-drive, dual-motor powertrain producing 335 horsepower and 501 pound-feet of torque. It has an 82kWh battery, the same one as the ID 5, which allows 282bhp, single-motor versions to go 341 miles between charges.
In 2024, the Spring—which is currently a best-seller in Europe—will be available in additional locations. By doing this, Dacia will challenge Citroën and possibly undercut the Ñ-C3’s starting price by several thousand pounds while providing specs that are comparable on paper.
The Fiat 500X electric powertrain, which replaces the gasoline-powered model, puts 154 horsepower and 192 pound-feet of torque through the front wheels. It has a 249-mile range thanks to a 54kWh (51kWh usable) battery installed.
Fiat CEO Olivier François stated that the next-generation Panda is designed with the maxim “less is more” in mind. It will be a compact, reasonably priced crossover that resembles Citroën’s Ñ-C3, another Stellantis brand. The 2019 Centoventi concept will serve as inspiration for this vehicle.
Few cars make a more audacious declaration of a brand’s identity than the Topolino. It’s the Citroën Ami, redesigned with a single color option—mint green—and retro styling in keeping with Fiat’s “dolce vita” philosophy. You can even get one with ropes in place of doors, a la nightclub.
Because it’s an electric variant of the UK’s best-selling commercial vehicle, it could be the most significant arrival of the year. The new E-Transit Custom van is identical to the upcoming Volkswagen Transporter and will come with a choice of rear-mounted motors that produce 134bhp or 215bhp, with a torque output of 306 lb-ft. It can carry a maximum payload of slightly more than 1000 kg.
Ford’s partnership with the Volkswagen Group has also resulted in the Explorer, a family SUV built on the MEB platform of the massive German automaker. It will be available with 168bhp, 282bhp, and 335bhp guises, with the max version being the most powerful, with a predicted range of 311 miles between charges. This summer will see the arrival of the Explorer, which was delayed due to new battery regulations.
This off-road-focused Mustang Mach-E sports SUV gains specially tuned Magneride shocks and an increased power output of 480 horsepower, drawing inspiration from the Ford Focus RS.
Early indications point to the Ioniq 5 N as a unique industry first. It’s the first EV that can compete with the world’s top petrol-engined driver’s cars thanks to its amazing array of driving modes, sharper handling than the Porsche Taycan, and massive 641bhp (when pushed over).
This electric Wrangler substitute will have a 600bhp and a 0-62mph time of 3.5 sec time. It is also possible to remove the doors, though we are not sure how helpful that will be in windy Britain.
Kia’s effort to provide more reasonably priced electric vehicles starts with the EV3. It will be supported by the E-GMP platform of the Hyundai Motor Group and come with a variety of powertrain options, with outputs probably ranging from 215bhp to 302bhp.
Essentially a more compact version of the Eletre, the Lotus first saloon since the renowned Lotus Carlton super saloon boasts the same 905bhp and 726 lb-ft powertrains as the SUV. It is said to have a “broadly similar” range to the Eletre, which, in its rapid R configuration, travels 304 miles between charges. It’s anticipated that prices will be comparable to those of its Chinese-made sibling.
Only the battery’s incapacity to manage such power flow at this time limits the combined 751bhp and 996 lb-ft of torque produced by this grand tourer’s three 402bhp motors. With a top speed of 199 mph, the 0-62 mph sprint is completed in just 2.7 seconds.
It is expected that the leader of Maserati’s electric sports cars will have the same powertrain as the Granturismo but with a lighter, more compact body and a stronger emphasis on pure performance.
Only the battery’s incapacity to manage such power flow at this time limits the combined 751bhp and 996 lb-ft of torque produced by this grand tourer’s three 402bhp motors. With a top speed of 199 mph, the 0-62 mph sprint is completed in just 2.7 seconds.
Positioned between the Cooper and the Countryman, the new Aceman is a crossover built on an elongated version of the new Spotlight platform, which was developed in China for the Cooper. A 215- and 181-hp electric motor option will be available, and a high-performance John Cooper Works model is anticipated to launch in 2026.
The entry-level Cooper E, which has an 181-bhp engine and a 190-mile range between charges, is the first model of the upcoming Mini hatchback. It’s still fun to drive, according to a test drive in a camouflaged prototype, with a darting front end and a playful bend.
The Countryman SUV has expanded to compete with vehicles like the Audi Q4, both in terms of size and cost. At launch, there will be two different electric powertrain options: a 201-bhp single-motor, rear-wheel-drive powertrain, and a 309-bhp dual-motor, four-wheel-drive powertrain. A 64.7kWh battery is used in both, providing a 287-mile range.
The first car powered by Stellantis’s brand-new STLA Medium architecture comes in two battery capacity variants, with the largest, 98kWh model offering a 435-mile range. First impressions are that it’s an expensive crossover that lacks style, but it’s a perfectly good family vehicle that should be pleasant to own.
With its tracksuit and trainers, the Polestar 3 is essentially a Volvo EX90 that promises a more athletic and dynamic personality. Time spent behind the wheel of a prototype indicates that it’s a truly enjoyable vehicle to drive and that the interior is commensurate with the price tag, which also happens to be less expensive than the comparable Mercedes-Benz EQS and BMW iX SUVs.
Polestar’s greenest vehicle to date is also the most unusual; instead of a traditional rear window, it has a camera mounted on the roof. Polestar was able to extend the range of the 4 by repositioning the header rail, creating a more rakish roofline.
The Audi Q6 E-Tron and the second-generation Macan both use the PPE architecture, which is capable of producing over 603 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque from a dual-motor powertrain. That’s a lot more than the 435 horsepower and 406 pound-foot torque of the V6-powered Macan GTS, but the 0-62 mph times are similar: the electric SUV finishes the sprint in 4.4 seconds, while the gasoline-powered SUV takes 4.5 seconds.
It’s taken a while for this to happen. In 2024, the Range Rover will eventually have an electric drivetrain. According to JLR executives, this will be the most advanced Range Rover to date, with performance on par with the current V8 flagship. Its off-road capabilities, including the capacity to wade through water up to 850 mm deep, appear to be unaltered.
Much of the mechanical components of the larger Renault 5 will be present in the redesigned Renault 4, which will be housed in a larger, more fashionable crossover body.
At least according to Renault CEO Luca de Meo, the new 5 is all about having fun. Its Ampr Small platform (previously known as CMF-B-EV) has a multi-link rear axle, which is supposed to offer significantly more agility than the Renault Zoe’s torsion beam. Additionally, weight has been reduced wherever possible; notable savings have been attributed to a new battery arrangement and motor design.
Even though it’s not the ground-breaking MPV from thirty years ago, the most recent Scenic is still a roomy, stylish family vehicle. It is directly targeted at the Tesla Model Y, offering nearly 100 more miles of range while undercutting the price of the massively popular American SUV.
Because of its subpar infotainment and driver-assistance systems, the #3 falls short of the class standard even though it is a better car to drive than the #1 and is also a good value.
Instead of being an elevated hatchback, the new Crossland will be a true small SUV that is larger and bolder than the current model. Similar to its smaller sibling, the Corsa, it will come with both electric and gasoline drivetrain options. The latter is anticipated to have a range of about 250 miles using Stellantis’ preferred setup of a 51kWh battery and a front-mounted 154 horsepower motor.
The Grandland will be reimagined as an electric SUV powered by the new STLA Medium platform, which could enable a four-wheel-drive system with quick acceleration and a range of over 400 miles. It will resemble the present Grandland but have a more angular roofline and may have a different name.
Though it drives well and has a stylish exterior, the interior of this small SUV falls short of expectations. Although the quality is good, the taste is ruined by the infotainment touchscreen system’s dominance, which conceals the majority of the system’s controls.
Software problems caused a delay in the release of Volvo’s electric flagship, but it is still scheduled for later this year. With lidar sensors, interior lighting that simulates sunlight, bi-directional charging, and a host of other features, it provides an absolute feast for tech enthusiasts.
Consider this more of an affordable substitute for the Mercedes-Benz EQE than as a rival to the Tesla Model 3. Depending on the version you choose, the ID 7 has ranges of 386 to 435 miles in addition to an incredibly practical and comfortable interior.
Beginning with the G6, a competitor to the Tesla Model Y, Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Xpeng will introduce its products to the UK market. Based on China’s CLTC test cycle, the SUV has two battery sizes (66kWh and 87.5kWh) with corresponding ranges of 360–469 miles.
