Brand new cars coming in 2025: Our A-Z preview begins – from BMW iX3 to the VW ID.2

Another year means another wave of cars arriving, and 2025 is set to be flooded with new models. 

For drivers in the market for a new set of wheels, you’ll find the choice is predominately electric – in fact it’s almost entirely electric for 2025.

But while rounding up 25 of the most noteworthy new cars arriving in 2025, it is pleasing to see that a lot of the EVs are coming with affordable price tags.

As electric SUV is set to emerge costing less than £22,000, could this be the year of the zero-emission bargain? 

To pace ourselves, we’ve split the big list of 25 into two parts; this is part one, with part two following tomorrow.

So here are 12 cars that you’ll be able to get you hands on for the first time next year… 

1. Range Rover Electric

Estimated price: £150,000 

What was that about a new EV bargain? Well, the Range Rover Electric is most definitely not that.

Perhaps the most long-awaited electric car to date, the Range Rover Electric supposedly has a waitlist of 50,000 already.

The electric version of the Range Rover – which is almost identical to the current combustion model – is expected to come with around 530bhp and 400 miles of range.

With the current Range Rover already starting at £104,025, the all-electric model could ring in close to £150,000, so it’s at the top end of the luxury budget.

2. BMW iX3

Estimated price: TBC 

The Neue Klasse X concept previews BMW’s next-generation SAVs. They will include all-wheel drive and be powered by a choice of pure-electric, hybrid, petrol, diesel and even hydrogen

The new generation of BMW electric cars – called ‘Neue Klasse’ – begins with the iX3.

Currently there’s just the concept to go on until 2025, but BMW has promised to unveil something very close to that this coming year.

Along with ‘super brain’ computers, the new BMW concept raises hopes for much better range than previous BMW iXs.

BMW’s also talking about ultra-rapid charging times of being able to add 180 miles of range in just a 10-minute window.

3. Hyundai Ioniq 9

Estimated price: £65,000 – £80,000

Hyundai has joined the luxury large electric SUV club with its new Ioniq 9. It’s set to come with 385 miles of range and adjustable six or seven-seat seating options

Stepping into Kia territory by sharing the same E-GMP platform, the Ioniq 9 will be a massive seven-seater and go head-to-head with some of the most premium electric SUVs on the market.

Over 5.0 metres long, it’s set to become the biggest Hyundai to date (even larger than the Santa Fe) and comes with a circa 400-miles of range, sustainable interior and some serious tech, so it could be well worth the price tag.

4. Dacia Bigster

Estimated price: £20,000

A big deal: This is the new Dacia Bigster, the budget-friendly brand’s largest model yet…

A smaller and cheaper SUV than the Hyundai, the Dacia Bigster will be a rival for the Volkswagen Tiguan.

There will be two or four-wheel drive options, and engine options will range from petrol to mild and full-hybrids.

And because it’s Dacia you can expect to pay a fraction of the price of other brands, with it set to cost around £20k.

Estimated price: £20,000 

Spanish brand Cupra’s new electric city car will begin production in 2025 and is set to cost around £20,000

The A290 – which comes with 178bhp or 217bhp depending on the option you go for – will go on sale in the UK in March next year.

Pricing is likely to be in the mid-£30,000s.
