Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Cadillac Vistiq (Expected: Early 2025) Cadillac is rapidly expanding its EV lineup and will add the three-row Vistiq for 2026 between the mid-size Lyriq and full-size Escalade iQ. The Vistiq looks roughly the size of the gas-powered XT6 and features a similar face to its electric brethren, with slim LED running lights atop vertical headlights and a glossy, illuminated grille trim piece. The first images show a "600E4" badge, suggesting a similar 500-hp, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive powertrain to the most powerful Lyriq model. The Vistiq should launch in early 2025. 

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Cadillac Optiq (Expected: Late 2024) Cadillac isn't holding back with its EV transition, revealing the compact Optiq that will slot in below the Lyriq as Cadillac's smallest electric crossover late last year. Cadillac has divulged very few details about the Optiq, but we think it will be closely related to the Chevy Equinox EV. This would suggest a standard front-wheel-drive, 210-hp single-motor setup and a 290-hp all-wheel-drive dual-motor option. Range estimates will approach 300 miles in the longest-range variants, while pricing should start above $40,000 when sales kick off later in 2024.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Bentley EV (Expected: 2027) Bentley has pushed back its first EV by two years to 2027, with a reveal set for 2026. The British marque's CEO said the delay was due to software issues and other concerns over the platform, with the EV due to ride on a version of the Volkswagen Group's PPE architecture. Bentley is targeting a range of at least 373 miles and advanced driver assistance technology. While a series of EVs were set to be launched each year from 2025 to 2030, the plan to go fully EV is now set for roughly 2033. 

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Lotus Emeya (Expected: 2024) Lotus is expanding its lineup with the Emeya, a luxury electric sedan that will take on the Porsche Taycan and Lucid Air. The Emeya sports a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette with sharp styling. Under the skin lies a 102.0-kWh battery pack that is expected to return between 260 and 315 miles of range. Two powertrains will be available—a 603-hp base car with 523 pound-feet of torque car and a 905-hp range-topper with a two-speed transmission and 727 pound-feet. That variant will hit 62 mph in under 2.8 seconds before reaching a 159-mph top speed. The cabin features a similarly snazzy design to the company's electric Eletre SUV. Sales kick off in 2024, with the price expected to be north of $100K.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Lincoln Star (Expected: 2027) Lincoln aims to have a fully electric lineup by 2030. We originally expected a production version of the Star concept in 2025 as Lincoln's first EV, but delays to Ford's own three-row electric SUV suggest the Star might not show up until 2027. Revealed in 2022, the Star looks half like a Lincoln Aviator and half like a spaceship. The concept's cabin features a full-width digital display on the dash, sculpted bucket seats, an integrated beverage chiller, crystal accents, and rose gold colored trim pieces. The production mid-sized two-row crossover will come with both rear- and all-wheel drive powertrain options, and we expect a starting price around $70,000.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Lamborghini Lanzador (Expected: 2028) Lamborghini is preparing to bid arrivederci to V-12 sonnets and V-10 ballads, ushering in a new era of electric supercars that offer the same level of emotion and driving gusto. Cue the 2028 Lanzador, Lamborghini's lifted 2+2 EV grand tourer that looks like the lovechild of the rally-inspired Huracán Sterrato and the Urus SUV. The concept comes with two doors, bulging fender flares, and distinct Lambo styling. It'll feature an electric motor on each axle producing a combined 1341 horsepower. There's no word yet on battery size or range. We expect pricing to be comparably expensive to other Lamborghinis—think $300,000 or more.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy BMW 3-series EV (Expected: 2026) The unique-looking Neue Klasse concept revealed in 2023 is expected to preview a future electric iteration of the iconic, long-running BMW 3-Series. The concept debuted a new design language that should spread across the lineup, with a funky evolution of the classic kidney grille. The concept uses experimental e-Ink technology—similar to what you'd find on a eReader tablet—on the window trim that lights up as you approach the car. The simplistic cabin has a full-width screen spanning the dashboard. The car will be built on BMW's next-generation EV platform that promises range improvements of up to 30 percent versus current models. The production version will likely arrive by 2026.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Audi Q6 e-tron (Expected: 2024) The Audi A6 e-tron is a concept for now, but Audi says it's super close to what the production car will look like. It's based on the scalable Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture that can be lengthened, lifted, and widened for a variety of different EV models. It will be sold alongside the gas-powered A6 and will join the PPE-based Q6 e-tron crossover in Audi's lineup. The A6 e-tron concept uses two electric motors with a combined output of 469 horsepower. All PPE vehicles have 800-volt charging capability, and this big sedan could have as much as 400 miles of range on a single charge.

Electric Cars Of The Future. Electric Cars You'll Soon Be Able To Buy Acura ZDX (Expected: Early 2024) You may recognize the ZDX name from Acura's old coupe-SUV model, but this time around the moniker adorns a midsize crossover that becomes Acura's first EV when it arrives early next year. The 2024 ZDX rides on General Motors' Ultium battery platform—sharing components with the Cadillac Lyriq—and the 102.0-kWh battery will provide up to 325 miles of range. The 340-hp, single-motor, rear-wheel-drive A-Spec model will be joined by a 500-hp, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive Type S, which also wears upgraded brakes, adaptive dampers, and air suspension. The A-Spec should start around $60,000.

An electric car costs less than a gasoline-powered car. One of the main advantages of electric cars is that they reduce all initial costs and make them competitive. A growing number of used EVs are becoming available at even more affordable prices.
