The Maserati Grecale SUV will join the Gran Turismo with its own electric variant which will stand alongside its internal combustion engined equivalent. There’s no confirmed intel on its performance figures yet, but Maserati has promised up to 590lb ft, and it will likely rival the Audi E-Tron S, which hits 0-62mph in 4.5sec and comes with a 105kWh battery.
Another rival for the Tesla Model 3, this time out of China, the NIO ET5 features a twin-motor powertrain consisting of a 201bhp asynchronous motor at the front, and a 282bhp motor at the rear. Total power output stands at 483bhp and 516lb ft, with a claimed 0-62mph sprint of 4.3 seconds. There’s also a choice of three battery sizes, ranging from 75kWh (342 miles) to a staggering 150kWh, with an estimated range of up to 620 miles.
The well-received MG 4 will gain a dual-motor Triumph Edition with 442bhp on tap. The performance variant is estimated to carry a 0-62mph time of 3.8sec, while top speed is limited to 99mph. It could be our first taste of an all-electric mega hatchback.
This will be the third electric car to enter series production in the UK, and Rolls-Royce is going all out. As heavy as a whale’s tongue, but as fast as a Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 to 62mph, the 577bhp Spectre promises to be one of the most beguiling and technologically impressive cars of the modern era. It is built around the latest iteration of Rolls-Royce’s Architecture of Luxury and draws its power from a mammoth 120kWh battery, good for a claimed 323 miles between charges. Rolls-Royce also says it’s one of the most aero-efficient cars on the market, which only slightly justifies its £275,000 list price.
The Volkswagen ID 7 is the German car maker’s answer to the Tesla Model 3. Previously known as the ID Aero, the saloon is set to be offered as a five-door liftback, before an estate variant arrives further down the line. It will first launch with a two-wheel drive set-up, before a more powerful four-wheel drive GTX model provides power similar to the Model 3, Polestar 2 and Hyundai Ioniq 6.
Volvo EX30
Volvo’s smallest SUV will share a platform with the Smart #1 and Zeekr 001. It’s the new entry point to the Volvo range and will, according to CEO Jim Rowan, will be geared towards younger, city-based drivers. We still don’t know many details about its design, but it will be heavily influenced by the much larger EX90 flagship, albeit with a much smaller price tag.
