Kia EV6

Kia and sister brand Hyundai have big plans in the area of electrification over the coming years, with Kia planning to launch multiple new zero-emissions models by 2027. They'll be headed up by a flagship model called the EV6, which was revealed recently. It'll have a 300-mile driving range and ultra-rapid 350kW charging capacity for a recharging time of less than 20 minutes. It can also go from 0-62mph in under three seconds in its fastest form. It’s likely to cost in the region of £50,000, and will appear later in 2021. Read more about the Kia EV6 here.

Lexus EV

A new Lexus electric car is on the way, and although details aren’t abundant at the moment, the company has confirmed the car is coming via a teaser image showing a dramatic rear end for the upcoming model. It'll use the e-TNGA platform shared with Toyota, and will take inspiration from the 2019 Lexus LF-30 concept car. It also gets four-wheel drive, with one motor on each axle. Read more about the Lexus electric car here.

Mercedes EQB

While the Mercedes EQA aims to offer a sleek hatchback shape, the EQB will essentially be an electric version of the recently unveiled Mercedes GLB, which brings the bluff and boxy styling of larger Mercedes SUVs like the G-Class and GLS to a smaller and less expensive format. As part of Mercedes' plan to have eight electric 'EQ' models on sale by 2023, the GLB is expected to arrive in showrooms at some point in 2021. A starting price of around £45,000 is likely, as is a range of about 300 miles. Read more about the Mercedes EQB here
