New cars 2025: your handy guide to the cars arriving this year

Read our Alfa Romeo Junior review

Alfa Romeo Stelvio

One of the best-handling SUVs around is about to swap from Alfa’s acclaimed Giorgio platform to a new Stellantis structure called STLA Large, which will enable it to offer electric power for the first time while retaining a combustion option. Full details remain under wraps, but the new Dodge Charger, based on the same platform, uses a 3.0-litre straight six, encouragingly known as the Hurricane.

Alfa Romeo Tonale update

SUV gains a revised interior with new centre console, rotary drive selector and reworked display screens.

Alpine A110 Ultime

The sun is setting on the car that proved once and for all that Renault has what it takes to fight Europe’s best. The Ultime is one last crack at the likes of Porsche: a super-light, track-focused special honed by Alpine’s Formula 1 team. Its aero package produces an extra 160kg of downforce compared with the A110 R on which it’s based, and the additional 49bhp required the fitment of a new gearbox. A fitting end for a hero.

Everything we know about the Alpine A110 Ultime

Alpine A390

Meet the “A110 for five”. Previewed by a concept at the 2024 Paris motor show, the A390 is Alpine's first SUV – and, it hopes, a cash cow to fund its next-generation sports cars. But the French firm claims not to have compromised on driving dynamics, having benchmarked the A390 against the sports car and developed a trick torque-vectoring system for its tri-motor powertrain. A rival for the Porsche Macan Electric, it’s expected to arrive priced north of £60,000.

Everything we know about the Alpine A390

Aston Martin Valhalla

With its front-engined sports cars freshened up and fighting fit, Aston is now turning its attention to launching a mid-engined hypercar to rival the Ferrari SF90 XX and Lamborghini Revuelto. Equipped with an electrified version of Mercedes-AMG’s flat-plane-crank V8, it puts out 1064bhp and should sound pretty biblical – but has a relatively plush cabin and enough EV range for silent running through town. A Valkyrie you can take to the shops, then.

Everything we know about the Aston Martin Valhalla

Audi Q3

Popular mid-sized SUV is set for powertrain and styling tweaks, borrowing interior design cues from the larger Q5.

Audi RS Q6 E-tron

With nearly 500bhp, the SQ6 E-tron is hardly lethargic, so Audi Sport’s 600bhp-plus RS version of the Porsche Macan Electric twin should be pretty rapid.

Everything we know about the Audi RS Q6 E-tron

Audi RS6 E-tron and RS6 Avant

Audi’s hot RS6 will be back this year, but not as you remember it. Planned to be badged RS6 E-tron, the high-performance model will be offered as an estate or a saloon, the latter bodystyle returning for the first time since 2010. In turn, the combustion-engined RS6 will be renamed the RS7, in keeping with Audi's new naming structure. Expect well above 600bhp and 700lb ft...

BMW iX3 Neue Klasse

Previewed by the Vision Neue Klasse X, the successor to today’s iX3 will set the tone for BMW’s future electric line-up. Much of that concept’s design will be carried over to the new SUV, such as its fresh kidney grille, new LED headlights and flatter, more imposing silhouette. BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive system is claimed to give an efficiency boost of up to 25% over the brand’s existing EVs, with range bolstered by around 30%.

Everything we know about the next BMW iX3

BMW M2 CS

Weight savings, rear spoiler and aggressive suspension set-up will prime this sports car for track use.

BMW Skytop

Just 50 examples of BMW’s gorgeous convertible concept will be made, possibly carrying the Z8 name.

BYD Atto 2

Competitor for the Vauxhall Frontera Electric and Renault 4 gets a 174bhp motor up front and a 50kWh battery for a range of more than 200 miles. Prices will start at around £27,000.

BYD Seal 06

Vital Seal hatchback is set to make a splash against the venerable Cupra Born and Volkswagen ID 3.

Everything we know about the BYD Seal 06 GT

BYD Seal update

Critical tech updates and battery changes look to keep this Tesla Model 3 rival feeling fresh.

Everything we know about the BYD Seal update

Citroën Ami facelit

UK’s cheapest electric ‘car’ gets a distinctive new look inspired by the 2CV, with round headlights and vent-aping grooves on its flanks. It keeps the same 28mph top speed as before, though.

Everything we know about the Citroën Ami facelift

Citroën C3 Aircross and ë-C3 Aircross

Next-generation C3 Aircross is one of the smallest seven-seaters on sale, measuring just 4.39m long. Taking aim at the Dacia Jogger, it arrives with petrol, mild-hybrid and electric power.

Read our Citroën C3 Aircross or ë-C3 Aircross review

Citroën ë-C3 van

New two-seat version of the French brand's entry-level EV is intended to capture the market left behind when the Ford Fiesta van was taken off sale. Prices will start at just £15,035 (excluding VAT).

Everything we know about the Citroën ë-C3 van

Cupra Raval

Forget the World Cup qualifiers: the fiercest international showdown of 2025 could well be when Spain’s Cupra Raval squares up to France’s Renault 5. The Cupra certainly has the readies to take the win: a circa-£25,000 price, a sumptuous interior and a whole array of digital tricks.

Everything we know about the Cupra Raval

Dacia family hatchback

We don’t have a lot to go on here, but Dacia boss Denis Le Vot has confirmed that the Bigster follow-up will wear a totally new bodystyle and have a new name. A Golf-sized hatchback with characteristically chunky styling and an outdoorsy focus seems a safe bet, we reckon.

Everything we know about Dacia's VW Golf rival

Dacia Jogger facelift

Fresh styling for the UK’s cheapest seven-seater, which is also in line for a more potent hybrid engine.

Everything we know about the Dacia Jogger facelift

Denza Bao 5

Toyota Land Cruiser rival gets a 677bhp range-extender powertrain. It's badged as a Fangchengbao (‘formula leopard’) in China but is strongly tipped for a rebranding when it comes to Europe.

Everything we know about Fangchengbao

Denza Z9 GT

Upmarket sub-brand of BYD was originally a joint venture with Mercedes, but the Chinese firm now has full control over its destiny. The first Europe-bound Denza is a 952bhp electric GT.

DS No4

DS's plush, high-riding hatchback is due a mid-life update, bringing a new name and electric power.

Everything we know about the DS No4

DS No7

Family SUV has been around since 2017, so a styling and technology refresh beckons.

Read our DS 7 review

DS No8

New flagship is based on the same underpinnings as the Peugeot e-3008 and Vauxhall Grandland but fettled to minimise its aerodynamic drag (and therefore maximise electric range). It's tipped to be priced below £50k in the UK.

Read our DS No8 review

Fiat 500 Ibrida

The petrol-powered 500 lives on! A long-term future was secured for Turin’s big-selling city car with the recent confirmation of this new Ibrida version, due to enter production in November. It's effectively the electric 500e retrofitted with a petrol engine – most likely Stellantis’s ubiquitous 134bhp 1.2-litre mild-hybrid unit. It comes as Fiat struggles to sell the EV, idling its factory.

Everything we know about the Fiat 500 Ibrida

Fiat 500e update

A more capacious battery is part of a mid-life update for the pint-sized Piedmontese. But will it boost sales?

Fiat Topolino

Meet the 'Ami Superleggera': cubic microcar gets a 1950s design treatment and ditches its doors.

Everything we know about the Fiat Topolino

Firefly hatchback

The first model from Chinese EV giant Nio's new entry-level brand is a Renault 5 rival that's priced from the equivalent of £16k in China. It will almost certainly cost more when it lands here but should still undercut the French EV.

Everything we know about the Firefly hatchback

Ford Mustang GTD

Before you ask, no, it’s not a diesel. That ‘D’ actually stands for 'Daytona', hinting at the track-focused billing of what is the most extreme Pony Car to date. Its 5.2-litre V8 is borrowed from Shelby’s GT500 but has a smaller supercharger pulley plus a modified intake and exhaust to boost it north of 800bhp. It’s also got a dry sump to ensure it isn’t starved of oil on track. There’s just one catch: applications to buy one closed long ago.

Everything we know about the Ford Mustang GTD

Genesis GV60 facelift

Genesis's sporty electric crossover gets a more aggressive look with new headlights, plus a lightly fettled interior.

Genesis GV60 Magma

Magma performance arm’s first UK model is set to be a more luxurious take on the riotous (and closely related) Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.

GWM Ora 07

Quirky-looking saloon will follow the Ora 03 (née Funky Cat) into UK showrooms. It will have 402bhp and an expected £35k starting price.

Read our GWM Ora 07 prototype review

Hyundai Ioniq 2

Hyundai's answer to the Kia EV2, the Ioniq 2 will sit just above the new Inster, further bolstering the firm's EV line-up. The Ioniq 2 is likely to major on range at an affordable price, starting at around £25,000 in the UK. 

Read more about the Hyundai Ioniq 2

Hyundai Ioniq 6

The mid-life update for Hyundai’s drag-busting, Tesla Model 3-rivalling electric saloon will include a refreshed design inspired by the petrol Sonata, plus a bigger battery – and therefore a longer range than the current 338 miles.

Read our Hyundai Ioniq 6 review

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N 

Second albums are always difficult, but sometimes they’re absolutely game-changing. Hyundai will certainly be hoping for a Led Zeppelin II moment with the launch of its second electric sports car.

The Ioniq 5 N has completely overturned the misconception that EVs can’t be fun, with its realistic ‘manual gearbox’, genuinely enjoyable ‘engine note’ and scintillating dynamics, so the pressure is on the hot Ioniq 6 to take things one step further.

Hyundai says the Ioniq 6 produces 641bhp and 568lb ft, along with a host of chassis tweaks and electrickery deployed to ensure this is more than merely a quick car.

Everything we know about the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N

Hyundai Nexo

Hydrogen isn't dead, says Hyundai. A new hydrogen-fuel-cell Nexo EV is on the way, having been previewed by the efficient Initium concept. That brings a range of 404 miles between fill-ups and a little more power too.

Everything we know about the next Hyundai Nexo

Jaecoo 5

Toothy SUV is China’s answer to the Honda HR-V and Hyundai Kona, coming with petrol and electric options.

Jeep Compass

Jeep’s assault on the lucrative compact SUV market will sit above the Avenger and use Stellantis’s STLA Medium platform, which makes it a close relation to the Peugeot 3008 and Vauxhall Grandland. Rivalling the Volvo EC40 and Volkswagen Tiguan, the Compass will be the only car on its platform to be offered with a pure-combustion engine. It is also likely to come with the option of a 134bhp mild-hybrid petrol and a 207bhp electric motor with a 73kWh battery.

Everything we know about the Jeep Compass

Jeep Recon

Jeep’s European push will include this potent off-roader, intended as an electric equivalent to the Wrangler.

Everything we know about the Jeep Recon

Jeep Wagoneer S

This flagship electric SUV will also join Jeep’s UK range, with 592bhp, a 300-mile range and 0-62mph in 3.2sec.

Everything we know about the Jeep Wagoneer S

Kia EV4

Tesla beware! Kia’s coming for the Model 3 with its new EV4, offered in both hatchback and saloon guises. Both get a single front-mounted motor putting out 201bhp, as well as a choice of 58.3kWh and 81.4kWh batteries. The longest-legged Long Range saloon can manage 397 miles between charges. 

Everything we know about the Kia EV4

Kia EV5

Electric equivalent of the Sportage majors on design flair and practicality. Front- and four-wheel-drive models will be available and the rangeiest versions will be capable of 329 miles per charge. Prices are expected to start from around £40k.

Everything we know about the Kia EV5

Kia EV6 GT

Kia’s 577bhp Porsche Taycan chaser has been zhuzhed up with the 641bhp powertrain and simulated gearchanges from the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Drift mode stays.

Everything we know about the new Kia EV6 GT

Kia EV9 GT

Got a big family and a lead right foot? You’ll want the EV9 GT, a seven-seat, 2.5-tonne electric SUV that packs a whopping 501bhp. Supercar pace, in other words.

Everything we know about the Kia EV9 GT

Kia K4

A new petrol hatchback in 2025? You betcha. The K4 is tipped to arrive as a replacement for the Ceed, packing a turbocharged 1.6-litre four and putting out 190bhp.

Everything we know about the Kia K4

Kia PV5

Kia has its sights set on the evergreen Ford Transit Custom with the new PV5, its first-ever van. It’s targeting a punchy starting price of just €35k (£29k), undercutting most other electric vans, and there's a seven-seat people-mover too. Could it change the van game for good?

Everything we know about the Kia PV5

Lamborghini Temerario

Huracán’s replacement gets a 4.0-litre V8 that, combined with three electric motors, puts out a huge 907bhp. But only a small fraction of that is thanks to the motors, which are used to fill the gap in torque delivery left by the fitment of two whopping great turbochargers. The set-up’s good for 0-62mph in 2.7sec and allows for new tricks, such as a drift handling mode inspired by the Huracán Sterrato.

LEVC L380

Eight-seat MPV, anyone? The L380 is a four-row luxury electric transporter inspired by the world of airline travel, made by the firm behind London's black cab.

Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé

Has the Porsche Taycan had it too good for too long? Mercedes is working on its own lightning-fast four-door, which should outpunch today’s V8-engined AMG GT 4-Door Coupé in just about every respect – except, perhaps, noise. The first full-fat AMG EV will ride on a bespoke platform for electric sports cars and is tipped to pack as much as 1000bhp and 1000lb ft. We’re off to buy shares in Michelin.

Mercedes-AMG CLE 63

No plug-in hybrid here: instead, this even punchier CLE will get AMG’s traditional 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8, along with a host of styling adjustments.

Read our Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 review

Mercedes-Benz CLA

The CLA is the first mainstream Mercedes offered with both combustion and electric power. While the saloon has been dubbed ‘electric first’, it will be available with a new 249bhp electrified engine. The EQ-badged EV, meanwhile, will be the rangiest in the UK, offering a claimed 492 miles of driving between charges. There will also be an AMG version with an active rear spoiler and more than 500bhp.

MG Cyberster 2+2

Everyone’s getting in on the retro revival act, but we will admit that the MGB GT wasn’t on our 2025 bingo card. Admittedly, the hard-top Cyberster doesn’t look much like its ancestor, but as it’s due to arrive on the B GT’s 60th birthday, you can’t really avoid the comparison.

MG S5 EV

Nissan Leaf

It’s a Leaf but not as we know it: the Sunderland-built EV has morphed into a saloon-like crossover for its third generation. It will be revealed in full later this year and offer a range of more than 372 miles. 

Everything we know about the next Nissan Leaf

Nissan Micra

Squint a bit and you can see the Renault 5 links in the new Micra. But while it shares a platform and will be built in France, much of its design and engineering work has been done by Nissan – and in the UK, to boot. We’ve been promised a “sporty urban” car.

Porsche 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman

One of the year’s most hotly anticipated arrivals. The next 718 Boxster and Cayman will be electric-only and based on a new platform, with their batteries stacked behind the cabin. Dual motors derived from Formula E are intended to deliver a clever blend of performance and efficiency.

Everything we know about the Porsche 718 twins

Porsche 911 Carrera S

Sitting between the Carrera T and the new GTS T-Hybrid, the latest Carrera S brings 473bhp and a more aggressive look inspired by the wide-hipped Turbo. It's priced from £120k.

Porsche 911 Turbo

Range Rover Electric

After years of teasers, spy shots and claims of a stacked order book, it’s finally time for Land Rover to make its first foray into the world of electric cars.

This is in some ways a subtle debut, because the new EV has the same looks and underpinnings as its combustion-engined counterparts – but with whisper-quiet propulsion. It’s not just refinement that benefits from going EV, though.

JLR claims the Range Rover’s motors allow snappier reactions to any slippage at each wheel, reducing the reaction time of its traction control from 100 milliseconds to a single millisecond.

Could this be the most capable Range Rover to date, as well as the most luxurious? We’d count on it.

Suzuki eVitara
