Volkswagen ID.2all

Volkswagen’s electric ambitions are rolling forward with the ID.2all, a compact EV that promises to be as affordable as it is practical. Positioned below the ID.3, it aims to bring electric mobility to the masses without compromising on style or features. The ID. 2all show car will become the ID. Polo in series production.

Expected specs:

• 450km range (approx. 280 miles)
• Front-wheel drive
• A starting price around £22,000

The ID. 2all debuts a fresh take on Volkswagen’s iconic C-pillar design, originally introduced with the first Golf, signaling a new era in the brand’s design language. Its exterior features a confident stance, dynamic proportions, and timeless elegance. Inside, the cabin follows a clean, high-quality design with a user-friendly infotainment system, classic volume control, and a dedicated climate control panel. Practicality is also a highlight, with an impressive 490 to 1,330 litres of storage—rivaling much larger vehicles.

Alfa Romeo Giulia EV

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is going electric—and not just quietly. The 2026 Giulia EV is rumored to debut with supercar-level performance, offering a choice of hybridised petrol engines or pure-electric power.

What to expect:

• Range of over 400 miles
• Electrics for ultra-fast charging
• Rear and all-wheel-drive powertrains

Why wait for it? Alfa Romeo is blending passion with performance, and this Giulia could rival the likes of the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S—while still turning more heads.

Genesis GV90

Genesis continues its gradual expansion with the upcoming GV90—an all-electric, full-size flagship SUV positioned above the Kia EV9 and the newly launched Hyundai Ioniq 9.

This three-row crossover is expected to feature sleek, aerodynamic styling and a spacious interior designed for maximum passenger comfort. When it arrives, the GV90 will likely carry a premium price tag as it competes directly with high-end rivals like the Lucid Gravity.

Porsche Cayenne Electric

Building on the path paved by the electric Macan, the Porsche Cayenne is set to go fully electric, with the production model expected to launch in 2026. While a pre-production version could debut later this year, Porsche has confirmed that the final model won’t hit the market until at least 2026. When it does arrive, the Cayenne EV will utilize the brand’s advanced 800-volt Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture and is expected to deliver around 600 horsepower.
