2024 is set to be a huge year forelectric cars, with major new launches from Audi, Hyundai and Polestar, plus an all-new Mini and the first electric SUV from Maserati.
There’s also the Lotus Emeya, a four-door super saloon set to do battle with the Porsche Taycan, the handsome Volvo EX90 and even a two-seat convertible sports can from a resurgent MG. Who’d have thought we would be sayingthatjust a couple of years ago?
Oh, and don’t forget the first all-electric Range Rover. We don’t know much about this one just yet, but it should arrive before the end of 2024, likely beating most other luxury SUVs to the plug-in punch.
Plainly, there’s a lot to be excited about. So unhook the charger, put on your seat belt and join us for a roundup of the new EVs we’re most excited about for 2024.

Audi’s electric family will grow in 2024 with the new Q6 SUV (shown above in concept form) and related A6, with the latter available as a coupe-style Sportback andseriously stylish Avant estate. The A6 and Q6 E-tron will share the same platform, naturally, and this will also be closely related to the underpinnings of the electric Porsche Macan.
BMW i5 touring

We’ve alreadydriven the fantastic new BMW i5, and while the switch from saloon to estate might not seem radical, the extra practicality – and, we hope, even more stylish looks – will make the upcoming i5 Touring truly special. BMW hasn’t said much about the electric estate for now, and all we’ve seen is a moody, low-light silhouette, but it has confirmed a spring 2024 reveal and how the 5 Series Touring will be available with petrol, mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric configurations.

As with the i5 saloon, the Touring will be available in top-spec M60 configuration. That means two motors, all-wheel-drive, and a massive 600 horsepower under the driver’s right foot. Your dog’s going to love it.
Hyundai Ioniq 7

To be the flagship ofHyundai’sall-electric Ioniq range, the 7 (shown above in concept form) shares its modular E-GMP platform with the closely related Kia EV9. Kia likes to design its Ioniq range as a set of chess pieces, all sharing the same base but with markedly different bodies on top. We certainly saw this with the distinctly different Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6, so we can’t wait to see what the larger 7 will look like once it’s revealed in 2024.
Pixel-style exterior lighting will be a key design detail of the Ioniq 7, while the interior is likely to be spacious and airy with lots of room across all three rows of seats and plenty of clever storage. The dual 12.3in display setup of the Ioniq 5 and 6 will probably make an appearance in the 7 too, along with the optional for digital side mirrors. The E-GMP’s 800V system will mean fast charging, but Hyundai hasn’t yet revealed any other specs for the Ioniq 7.
Lotus Emeya

Like MG, Lotus is another British sports car company recently flush with Chinese cash, in this case from the automotive firm Geely that also owns Volvo and Polestar. For 2024 Lotus will follow up on its Eletre SUV with a luxury electric saloon called the Emeya. To rival the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-tron GT, the dual-motorEmeyaproduces an astonishing 905 horsepower and 985 Nm of torque. Lotus claims a class-leading power-to-weight ratio for the Emeya and a 0-62mph time of just 2.78 seconds.
An 800V electrical architecture means fast charging – Lotus claims 10 to 80% is as little as 18 minutes – while the cabin features carbon-backed seats, a 5G connection, cameras for wing mirrors, a KEF sound system and, naturally, a big touchscreen display. Prices are expected to fall somewhere between £100,000 and £120,000, and an estate version is also rumoured to be in the works.

Folgore means ‘lightning’ in Italian and it’s the name Maserati is giving to its new all-electric cars. The first Folgore was a battery-powered GranTurismo and the second is this, the Grecale Folgore SUV, due in 2024.
MG Cyberster

After a 13-year hiatus, MG is making sports cars again. To be the halo model of the resurgent brand, the Cyberster is a two-seater with a folding fabric roof, vertically-hinged doors and the option of a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive or dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain. Prices are expected to range from around £50,000 to £65,000, with the entry-level car having a single motor on the rear axle, 335 bhp, a claimed range of up to 323 miles and a 0-62mph time of 4.6 seconds.
Mini EV

An all-new Mini hatchbackis on the way, with a bespoke electric platform (although a petrol version will also be available), a range of about 240 miles, and a bold new interior with what Mini claims is the world’s first circular display to be fitted to a production car. We’ll be interested to see how third-party apps work on the round screen and its Android system, but it’s certainly a fun nod to the central, circular speedometer of the 1959 original.
Polestar 3

Due in the second quarter of 2024, the £79,000Polestar 3SUV is the company’s largest car to date, and will share a platform with the Volvo EX90, also due in 2024. The Swedish startup’s house style from the Polestar 2 remains, but for the larger 3 the company is going further up market, where it is expected to compete with the Jaguar I-Pace and BMW iX.
Polestar 4

Aren’t Polestars like buses, eh? You wait ages then two come along at once. ThePolestar 4is an electric coupe to be priced from £55,000. It doesn’t share its platform with the larger Polestar 3, but that Swedish house style is present-and-correct once again, with sharp creases, a muted colour palette and a minimalist interior the order of the day.
Porsche Macan

Porsche’s second electric car arrives in 2024, in the form of theall-new Macan SUV. To compete with the ageing Jaguar I-Pace, the plug-in Porsche shares its platform with the similarly sized Audi Q6 E-tron, also due in 2024. The all-wheel-drive Macan uses a pair of motors similar to those of the Porsche Taycan, with a maximum output from the flagship model of 603 bhp and 738 lb ft. Sportier models will have an electronic locking differential, fitted to the rear axle and designed to offer torque vectoring between the front and rear wheels.
The Macan will be fitted with a 100 kWh battery pack, slightly larger than that of the Taycan and with an expected range of around 300 miles. Like the Taycan, the Macan uses an 800-volt system that allows for a very fast charging rate of over 270 kW.
Range Rover EV

[update] We now have details of the firstfull-electric Range Rover. All we know so far is that it will target the performance of the V8, and the company’s all-terrain capabilities. When the current generation car arrived a year ago it was said the hybrid platform was ready to work as a fully-electric car too.
Volvo EX90

An all-electric replacement to the XC90, Volvo’s new seven-seat flagship SUV lands in 2024 and promises to be packed full of technology. This includes a lidar sensor on the roof for improved driver assistance (while also making theEX90look a bit like a London taxi), 5G connectivity, native support forGoogle Maps, and even side mirrors that automatically adjust based on the position of your face.
Volvo says the EX90 has a range of up to 363 miles, produces 517hp in Twin Motor Performance guise and can accelerate to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds. The minimalist, leather-free interior features responsibly sourced wool blend, glowing ambient lighting, a 14.5in touchscreen and a full-length panoramic glass roof. Prices start at £96,255.
