The EV Landscape in 2026: A Preview of Future Electric Vehicles You’ll Soon Be Able to Buy
Electric cars are no longer a distant dream; they are the present and the undeniable future of automotive transport. From established giants to cutting-edge newcomers, every manufacturer is actively engineering electric vehicles (EVs). This comprehensive overview brings you the latest developments in the automotive world, highlighting all the electric vehicles—from concept to production readiness—that you can expect to see on the road in the coming years.
Alfa Romeo Giulia EV (Expected: 2028)
Alfa Romeo is revitalizing its legendary Giulia sedan with a fully electric powertrain. This isn’t merely an EV concept; it’s a production reality. The entry-level model will reportedly produce approximately 350 horsepower, while the higher-end Veloce trim is expected to boast around 800 horsepower. True to its heritage, the top-tier Giulia Quadrifoglio is rumored to deliver an astonishing 1,000 horsepower. The 2028 Giulia will ride on the Stellantis Group’s STLA Large platform, featuring 800-volt architecture for ultra-fast charging and an estimated range exceeding 500 miles. However, recent speculation suggests that like the Dodge Charger, the new Giulia may also be offered with traditional combustion engines, presenting a flexible powertrain strategy for Alfa fans.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio EV (Expected: 2027)
Before the electric Giulia hits the market, Alfa Romeo will unveil a new Stelvio. This electric SUV is designed to be a sportier alternative to existing luxury SUVs, sharing the STLA Large platform and offering both battery-electric (BEV) and hybrid powertrain options. While development faced some delays, the 2027 Stelvio is set to arrive in the United States, further electrifying Alfa Romeo’s luxury lineup and competing with offerings from Porsche, Tesla, and BMW.
Alpine EVs (Expected: 2030)
Alpine, the renowned performance division of Renault known for its lightweight sports cars, plans to establish a U.S. presence later this decade. Initially, the brand’s U.S. strategy was to launch with the compact A390 crossover—a sleek fastback equipped with a 470-hp tri-motor system. However, due to shifting market conditions and recent U.S. tariff policies on imported vehicles, Alpine has adjusted its timeline. The French automaker now intends to enter the American market with the upcoming A110 electric sports car and a larger utility vehicle, signaling a commitment to long-term sustainable mobility in the U.S. market.
Audi TT EV (Expected: 2027)
Audi is charting a new course for its iconic TT sports car, which is slated for a 2027 revamp. This transformation will be defined by the radical Audi Concept C, a sports car that rivals the size of the Porsche 911. The new model is expected to sit at the intersection of the TT and the R8 in terms of performance and will introduce a revolutionary new design language. Inside, Audi is embracing a return to physical controls, featuring a dashboard display that can retract completely when not in use. While powertrain details are still emerging, the Concept C was envisioned with a rear-wheel-drive setup and is expected to share a platform with the forthcoming Porsche 718 EV. Audi has confirmed that the production vehicle will also feature a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant, with the RWD concept documented at a curb weight of 3,726 pounds.
Bentley EV SUV (Expected: 2027)
Bentley will debut its first fully electric vehicle in 2026, positioning it as a “luxury urban SUV” that will slot beneath the internal combustion-powered Bentayga. Despite Bentley’s designation as “compact,” this electric SUV will retain imposing proportions, measuring up to 197 inches in length. The EXP 15 concept car offers a preview of the Bentley EV’s design, showcasing a bold, squared-off front end, a long hood, and a decadent interior cabin. It is anticipated that this electric SUV will share its platform with the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV, with sales expected to commence in early 2027. Based on trademark filings, the model is projected to be named the “Barnato,” paying homage to one of Bentley’s pioneering racers and executives from the 1920s. Plans for subsequent Bentley EVs have been deferred until at least 2030.
BMW i3 (Expected: Late 2026)
The BMW i3 arrives as an electric sibling to the long-running BMW 3-Series, sporting BMW’s new design language and built on the same Neue Klasse platform that underpins the iX3 SUV. An 800-volt architecture allows for 400-kW fast-charging, while the 109-kWh battery is said to provide an estimated 440 miles of range. The i3 will launch with one trim, the 50 xDrive, to start, sending 463 hp and 476 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. There’s also a radical new interior layout featuring a thin display that runs along the base of the windshield and a trapezoidal central touchscreen. Sales of the i3 are set to begin before the end of 2026.
BMW iM3 (Expected: 2027)
The upcoming BMW i3 will also spawn the first all-electric M3. The iM3, as we expect it to be called, will ride on BMW’s next-generation EV platform featuring an 800-volt electrical architecture. A quad-motor powertrain, with two electric motors on each axle, should churn out well over 600 horsepower and ensure that the iM3 is appropriately rapid. The front motors can also be decoupled, and while BMW says this is to increase highway range, we’re already dreaming of getting sideways. BMW is also planning faux gearshifts and engine noises to help make the iM3 more engaging, with the company sampling everything from the E92 M3’s V-8 to the E64 M6’s 5.0-liter V-10.
BMW iX3 (Expected: Summer 2026)
The BMW iX3 arrives as an electric counterpart to the brand’s popular X3 SUV and ushers in an unorthodox new design language, with a thinner interpretation of the iconic \”kidney\” grille that harkens back to classics like the 2002. The iX3 will arrive in the U.S. with a dual-motor variant producing 463 hp, enough for the SUV to scoot to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. A 109-kWh battery is expected to provide close to 400 miles of range and will be able to charge at up to 400 kilowatts. Inside, the iX3 debuts a new dashboard setup, where a thin darkened strip along the bottom of the windshield serves as a 43-inch, full-width head-up display that replaces a conventional gauge cluster. A 17.9-inch touchscreen handles all of the main infotainment duties. Sales will start in the summer of 2026.
BMW iX4 (Expected: 2027)
BMW is working on an electric replacement for the X4, the sleeker alternative to the X3 that features a sloping roofline. Expected to be called the iX4, the new \”coupe-SUV\” will come exclusively with electric powertrains and will be closely related to the iX3 that goes on sale in 2026. Like the iX3, the iX4 is also expected to spawn an M-branded performance variant. Production of the iX4 is rumored to begin in November 2026, and U.S. sales should kick off in 2027.
BMW iX5 (Expected: 2027)
BMW will continue electrifying its lineup with the iX5, an electric counterpart to the mid-size X5 SUV. Instead of using the Neue Klasse platform underpinning the iX3, the iX5 will use an adaptation of BMW’s CLAR platform—currently found beneath the iX electric SUV—which will allow an updated gas-powered X5 to coexist with its electric sibling. The iX5 will feature a next-generation battery with better energy density. The electric SUV should be revealed in late 2026 and go on sale in the U.S. in 2027. BMW is also planning a version with a hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain—co-developed with Toyota—that may become a reality before the end of the decade.
Caterham Project V (Expected: 2027)
Known for bare-bones sports cars, Caterham is looking to expand its lineup with an electric coupe that will enter production in 2027. Caterham aims to enter the U.S. market with the Project V, as it’s currently known, which will pack a 268-hp electric motor sourced from Yamaha on the rear axle. The Project V will also sport a unique split battery pack, with a roughly 27 kWh battery sitting between the occupants’ legs and another beneath the rear seat. Caterham is aiming for a zero-to-62-mph time of under 4.5 seconds and a price tag of around $135,000.
Ferrari Luce (Expected: 2026)
