2024 is a thing of the past. 2025 has just begun. We have 12 months ahead of us where a multitude of launches and important arrivals await us. This year promises to be particularly important when it comes to electrical interests. European regulations require a transformation of the market.
Electric cars are set to take over, while motorists are paying close attention to the big news. We have selected the 10 most important launches of 2025. The 10 most exciting electric cars coming soon.
The 10 most important electric cars of 2025
Tesla Model Y
This is undoubtedly the most important of all future innovations. The highly anticipated Project Juniper will be revealed early this year. There are only a few weeks left before it is publicly revealed. For Tesla, this is much more than just a renewal. Many test units have been discovered in different parts of the world. Americans pay close attention to detail and many new features will be integrated, starting with a significant image change. Efficiency will once again be a key element of the new Tesla Model Y. The development should improve the range to almost 700 kilometers. It is the best-selling electric car in the world.
Toyota Urban Cruiser
This will be the second electric car launched by Toyota. Let’s hope that the Japanese will learn from the past, from the bad lessons of the Toyota bZ4X. At first glance, the Urban Cruiser abandons the current electric Toyota brand. Unveiled a little over a month ago, the Toyota Urban Cruiser will not be available in dealership before spring 2025. The official autonomy has not yet been announced, but given the figures offered by competitors such as the Renault Scenic or the Peugeot E-2008, it should well exceed 400 kilometers. The price will be another detail to take into account. Around 30,000 euros.
KIA EV5
KIA has certainly made the right choice with its range of electric vehicles. Korean electrics are among the best valued in the world, offering more than interesting value for money. The year 2024 was dominated by the launches of the KIA EV9 and KIA EV3. The EV5 will directly attack the most commercial segment of the European market, the C-SUV, positioning itself as a real alternative to the Peugeot E-3008, the Nissan Ariya, the MG Marvel R or the Ford Explorer . It will only arrive in France in the fall and, although there is still a lot of information unknown about itit can already be said that it has reached the Olympus of the Chinese electric market. In just a few days, it sold more than 6,000 copies. KIA is already preparing its factory to flood the rest of the world.
Renault 4 E-TECH
Since the arrival of Luca de Meo at the head of Renault, the brand has clearly changed course. The Parisians have changed their mentality. Retro is in fashion. Renault’s most important launch in 2024 was the Renault 5 E-TECH. Its distinctive look has caught the attention of many drivers across Europe and in 2025 they hope to repeat the same success with the arrival of the Renault 4 E-TECHalthough in this case the design does not resemble the original model so much, but opts for a traditional presentation. Under the attractive bodywork hides a 100% electric system with an approved range of 400 kilometers. Another rival for the Toyota Urban Cruiser and the B-SUV category in Europe. Its selling price, without discount, should be around 30,000 euros.
MG ES5
We are still in the intermediate categories and it is time to talk about the MG ES5. The British company, now Chinese, has revolutionized the European and French market. Thanks to models like the ZS EV and the MG4, it has succeeded in democratizing electric mobility. Next year, what could likely become its most important launch in France. The ES5 is already available in China, while we will be able to have it in the second quarter. With its 4.47 meters long, it is located in the C-SUV segment. On the Chinese market, it has a range of 525 kilometers and its price is attractive. Considering MG’s marketing policy, it makes sense to expect a retail price of around 32,000 euros.
Mercedes CLA
The Germans are not getting the good electrical acceptance they were hoping for. Its EQ range does not meet the commercial needs of drivers, but this is expected to change in 2025. new Mercedes CLA should be the success Stuttgart hoped for. Its figures are indeed very promising. Its 800 volt electrical structure will allow it to recharge up to 300 kilometers of range in 10 minutes. Its official range is 750 kilometers, but all doubts remain about its price. This is a Mercedes after all, so don’t expect popular prices like those offered by its closest rival, Tesla’s Model 3. Our estimates show a minimum retail price of around 50,000 euros, before discounts. Let’s hope we’re wrong.
BMW iX3
Mercedes is not the only one to promise great electrical performance. His colleagues and rivals at BMW are looking at an exciting 2025. This will be the year we finally get to see the new Neue Klasse platform we’ve been talking about. The first car to present it will be the BMW iX3. A mid-size SUV that will try to position itself as an alternative to Tesla’s Model Y. It is too early to say, but what is certain is that the Germans will give him everything they know. Once again, the emphasis is on an 800-volt electrical structure with charging times 30% faster than current electrics. The range should be well over 600 kilometers, or even more. It will be revealed in the first quarter, with the BMW i3 sedan following later in the year.
Electric Range Rover
For many, the Range Rover is currently the best car in the world. It is a luxurious, comfortable, stylish and technologically advanced SUV that looks and handles well in any environment, terrain or situation. It’s a very complete car, but you can’t say it’s small, cheap or electric. This last point will change in 2025. Range Rover Electric arrives with the intention of joining the select group of electric cars most coveted by the rich and famous, alongside the Rolls-Royce Specter and the latest electric Mercedes G-Class. Almost no details are known about it and it is already a success. The British already have more than 48,000 customers interested in a car which will exceed the 200,000 euro mark and which will barely exceed that of 500 kilometers of autonomy.
Lucid Gravity
Lucid is, for the moment, a big unknown for European drivers. The company founded by Peter Rawlinson however, enjoyed great success in the United States. The company’s plans for 2025 include business expansion in Europe. The first of its cars, the Lucid Air, is already available. It is in fact the electric car with the greatest autonomy in Europe. The Lucid Gravity will seek its own space. The first units have already been delivered to North America and should be delivered to Europe by the end of the year. Thanks to the latest generation of Panasonic batteries it is capable of offering more than 700 kilometers of certified autonomy. Its price will not be popular, but should well exceed ¤90,000.
Nissan LEAF
Long before the success of Tesla, there was a Japanese electric car considered to be the first mass-market electric car in history: the Nissan LEAF. The Japanese made it a success long before electrification invaded the industry. The market pioneer, today condemned to absolute nothingness, will catch up in 2025. After being hidden from the public for years, the Nissan LEAF will return to the international scene in the form of an SUV. A lot has changed since its launch over a decade ago. Today, it faces many rivals in a world dominated by electric cars.Elon Musk. It will be revealed in the spring, although it won’t arrive in dealerships until summer. Many eyes are turned towards her.
