The Next Wave of EVs: A Preview of What’s Arriving by 2029
As the electric revolution accelerates, manufacturers are transforming their lineups with advanced battery technology and cutting-edge designs. While the industry is buzzing with new models, many of the most anticipated vehicles won’t hit the market until 2027, 2028, or 2029.
Here’s a comprehensive look at the electric cars, SUVs, and trucks that are currently in development and expected to reach U.S. dealerships by the end of the decade.
Alfa Romeo Giulia EV (Expected: 2028)
The beloved Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan, which has been around since 2016, is gearing up for a major overhaul. Alfa Romeo has confirmed that the next-generation Giulia will be fully electric. The automaker aims to deliver a vehicle that retains the sporty driving experience that has defined the brand for years. The electric sedan is expected to feature an 800-volt electrical system that supports ultra-fast charging.
Recent rumors suggest that the new Giulia will also be available with traditional gasoline engines, a strategy some automakers are using to ease the transition from combustion to electric powertrains. The decision to offer multiple options gives buyers flexibility, especially in a market where charging infrastructure and range anxiety are still major concerns.
For prospective buyers considering their next vehicle, the Alfa Romeo Giulia EV represents an intriguing option. Buyers should watch for details on this upcoming EV to understand if it meets their needs and budget.
Alfa Romeo Stelvio EV (Expected: 2027)
Before the new Giulia arrives, Alfa Romeo plans to introduce a new electric version of its Stelvio SUV. Like the Giulia EV, the Stelvio will ride on the Stellantis Group’s STLA Large platform. This platform is designed to support both electric and hybrid powertrains, offering versatility to the automaker.
However, the electric Stelvio has faced some delays. Initial reports suggested a 2026 debut, but that has been pushed back to 2027. These kinds of production adjustments are common in the auto industry, and buyers should keep an eye on the latest updates from the automaker. For those considering an electric SUV, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a model to watch as more details emerge.
Alpine EVs (Expected: 2030)
Alpine, the performance division of French automaker Renault, is planning to expand its reach into the United States market later this decade. Alpine is primarily known for its lightweight sports cars, but its U.S. lineup will be much more diverse.
Originally, the brand intended to launch with the compact A390, a slinky fastback crossover powered by a tri-motor setup delivering 470 horsepower. However, plans have changed significantly. High tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on imported vehicles have forced Alpine to delay its plans for the American market. The company now plans to enter the U.S. with the upcoming A110 electric sports car and a larger SUV.
For automotive enthusiasts, the prospect of Alpine bringing its performance DNA to the American market is exciting. Buyers interested in high-performance EVs should monitor Alpine’s progress as they refine their U.S. market strategy.
Audi TT EV (Expected: 2027)
Audi has announced plans to release a new electric sports car in 2027, a vehicle previewed by the radical Concept C. The new sports car is roughly the same size as the Porsche 911 and will slot somewhere between the TT and the R8 in terms of performance. The Concept C also ushers in a new design language for Audi.
Inside the concept car, Audi is embracing a return to physical controls. The interior features a screen that can completely tuck away when not in use, giving users the option for a more minimalist experience. Details about the powertrain remain sparse, but the Concept C was designed with rear-wheel drive in mind. The car is expected to share a platform with the upcoming Porsche 718 EV.
Audi has confirmed that the production version will offer a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant as well. The rear-wheel-drive concept weighs 3,726 pounds, suggesting that the production model will be lighter than many of its competitors. Buyers looking for a high-performance sports car should watch for updates on this exciting new model.
Bentley EV SUV (Expected: 2027)
Bentley is set to unveil its first all-electric luxury SUV in 2026. The automaker describes the vehicle as a “luxury urban SUV” that will sit below the gas-powered Bentayga in its lineup. While Bentley calls the EV “compact,” it will still have imposing proportions, measuring up to 197 inches long.
The Bentley EV’s styling is previewed by the Concept car, which features a bold, squared-off front end, a long hood, and a luxurious cabin. The electric SUV may use the same platform as the upcoming Porsche Cayenne EV. Sales of the Bentley EV are expected to begin in early 2027. Based on trademark filings, we anticipate the production name will be the Barnato, named after a legendary Bentley driver and executive from the 1920s.
BMW i3 (Expected: Late 2026)
BMW is expanding its electric lineup with the arrival of the i3, an electric sibling to the long-running BMW 3-Series. The new i3 will adopt BMW’s latest design language and ride on the Neue Klasse platform, the same architecture that underpins the iX3 SUV.
The vehicle features an 800-volt architecture that allows for ultra-fast charging at 400 kW. The 109-kWh battery is said to provide an estimated 440 miles of range. The i3 will launch with a single trim, the 50 xDrive, which sends 463 horsepower and 476 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels. Inside, the i3 debuts a radical new interior layout featuring a thin display that runs along the base of the windshield and a trapezoidal central touchscreen.
For buyers seeking a premium electric sedan, the BMW i3 offers a compelling package of luxury and performance. Buyers should monitor release dates as the i3 aims to become a strong competitor in the electric vehicle market.
BMW iM3 (Expected: 2027)
BMW has also announced that the upcoming i3 will spawn the first all-electric M3. The iM3, as we expect it to be called, will ride on BMW’s next-generation EV platform and feature an 800-volt electrical architecture. A quad-motor powertrain, with two electric motors on each axle, should produce well over 600 horsepower.
The front motors can also be decoupled, which BMW claims increases highway range. The company is also planning to add faux gear shifts and engine noises to make the iM3 more engaging, sampling everything from the E92 M3’s V-8 to the E64 M6’s 5.0-liter V-10 engine sounds.
BMW iX3 (Expected: Summer 2026)
The BMW iX3 is an electric counterpart to the brand’s popular X3 SUV. It ushers in an unorthodox new design language, featuring a thinner interpretation of the iconic “kidney” grille that pays homage to classics like the 2002. The iX3 will arrive in the U.S. with a dual-motor variant producing 463 horsepower, giving the SUV the ability to accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds.
A 109-kWh battery is expected to provide close to 400 miles of range and will support charging at speeds up to 400 kW. 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, replacing 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. 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. This allows 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
