Electric cars are no longer just the future. They are the now. And in 2025 the UK is getting some of the most exciting electric vehicles we have seen yet. From smart design to better range and a focus on real everyday use these new models are here to impress.
If you are thinking about switching to an EV or just want to know what the hype is all about this guide is made just for you. I am not here to throw numbers at you or repeat fancy marketing terms. I want to tell you what really matters from a driver’s point of view and why these upcoming electric cars could seriously change the way we drive.
Let’s explore the biggest names that are making waves and why they are worth paying attention to.
Most anticipated electric cars in the UK for 2025
There is a lot of buzz in the EV world right now. And it’s not just about one or two brands. From Tesla to Renault to Hyundai everyone is stepping up their game. Whether you care about long range smart interiors or just want something cool to look at these upcoming EVs have something for everyone.
MG S5 EV brings big range at a smart price
MG has been quietly building its name in the electric space and now it is ready to go big with the MG S5 EV. This one is designed to replace the popular ZS and offers an impressive range of up to 298 miles. The starting price is expected to be around £28495 which makes it one of the most budget friendly options in its segment.
I think what MG is doing here is really smart. They are giving everyday drivers a well built electric SUV that does not feel basic. You still get tech features good looks and enough comfort to make it your daily ride without stretching your budget.
Renault 5 E Tech is small practical and full of charm
Renault is bringing back a classic but with a modern electric twist. The new Renault 5 E Tech is compact stylish and perfect for urban driving. With a range of up to 252 miles and a starting price of just under £23000 it is clearly aimed at people who want a mix of nostalgia and practicality.
To me this car hits all the right notes. It is fun without being silly. It has a clean modern design but still gives a nod to its heritage. And if you live in a city where space is tight this car just makes sense.
BYD Sealion 7 adds luxury and tech from China
China’s EV brand BYD is coming strong into the UK market with the Sealion 7. This SUV is sleek and packed with features. It offers a range of up to 312 miles and starts at £44990. One thing that caught my eye was the rotating 15.6 inch screen that even includes karaoke. Yes you read that right.
Now I know that sounds like a gimmick but it shows how EVs are also turning into entertainment spaces. If you are driving less and charging more why not enjoy that time a little more. BYD seems to understand this shift and I think they are going to surprise a lot of people in the UK.
Hyundai IONIQ 9 brings space comfort and serious range
For those who need more room Hyundai is getting ready to launch the IONIQ 9. This is not a small city EV. It is a full size electric SUV with six or seven seats depending on the version. The expected range is a massive 385 miles and the price will likely start around £65000.
I think this is a great move from Hyundai. More families want electric now and they do not want to compromise on space or comfort. The IONIQ 9 even has rotating second row seats which turns it into more of a lounge on wheels. It is not just about moving people. It is about making the ride enjoyable.
Omoda E5 is the underdog worth watching
Not many people have heard of Omoda but that is going to change soon. Backed by Chery International the Omoda E5 is an electric SUV that offers a solid 257 mile range and starts from just over £33000. It is focused on giving you premium features at a more accessible price.
What I like about the E5 is that it feels honest. It is not pretending to be the flashiest car on the road. Instead it is giving you what you need in a clean well designed package. And with zero percent finance and no down payment offers this car could become a go to choice for people entering the EV market for the first time.
Tesla Model Y continues to evolve
Tesla is not sitting back. The updated Model Y is expected to arrive in the UK by mid 2025 with some performance tweaks and likely interior improvements. While Tesla has always been ahead in tech they are now focusing more on refining the experience.
From my perspective the Model Y remains a strong option simply because of the ecosystem Tesla offers. The charging network is smooth the software is always improving and the driving feel is still among the best. If you have been waiting to try Tesla this might be the right time.
What this EV wave really means
The variety of electric cars coming to the UK in 2025 shows how far we have come in just a few years. You no longer need to spend a fortune to get into a reliable and stylish EV. Brands are focusing more on comfort user experience and real life range instead of just headline numbers.
As someone who follows this space closely I can say this is one of the most exciting times to be a car buyer. The competition is making every brand better. And as a customer you now have more choice than ever.
