What Vehicles to Expect in 2025

It’s looking like a bumper 12 months for car drivers as we move into 2025. As you might expect, there’s going to be a big focus on electrification - but if you’d like to get in on the game early then you’ll find plenty of the latest EVs available here at Eden Motor Group.

But what do you need to look out for in 2025, what kind of trends look set to come into place and is there anything else to look forward to? Let’s take a look.

Cars to Get Excited About

There is a good number of new cars heading to the UK during 2025. Let’s see the top models that are on the way.

MG ZS EV Replacement

MG will look to replace its popular ZS EV in 2025. It’s expected that this upcoming electric SUV will share a platform with the MG4, too, which could mean a range of up to 300 miles from big-battery versions, or around 200 miles on smaller battery variants.

As with all current MG models, we’re expecting that the MG ZS EV replacement will offer good value for money with lots of standard equipment and plenty of space.

Jaguar Flagship EV

It has been a period of monumental change for Jaguar. Reviving itself as an electric-only brand has seen Jaguar tear up the rulebook of old and, in 2025, we’ll be seeing the arrival of a production-ready electric car.

However, whereas previous Jaguar cars occupied a middle-to-upper area of the new car segment, this new car will be targeted right at the tip-top premium end of the market. Expect a price tag of over £100,000 and some seriously head-turning looks.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 N

Building on the fearsome reputation of the Ioniq 5N will come a ‘hotter’ version of the sleek Hyundai Ioniq 6. Predicted to use a dual-motor powertrain with up to 641bhp, it’s set to be one of 2025’s most exciting performance electric vehicles.

In a similar vein to the 5N, expect some crazy driving modes and wild styling that’ll take inspiration from Hyundai’s involvement in motorsport.

Renault 4

Renault has already taken the electric world by storm with its Retro 5 and in 2025 it’ll be looking to further that success with the introduction of the slightly larger and more practical 4. Like the classic Renault 4 this EV has an upright, boxy design yet it’ll be underpinned by a cutting-edge electric powertrain that will be shared with the 5.

Expect plenty of on-board tech and, if we know Renault, some quirky design touches here and there to help keep things interesting.

Vauxhall Frontera

The next 12 months will mark a point where we’ll see the new Vauxhall Frontera arrive on our roads. While it has been revealed officially, that 2025 will be the year that this new compact electric and hybrid SUV will fully come on song, slotting in between the smaller Mokka and larger Grandland in Vauxhall’s range.

A range of up to 325 puts the Frontera among some of the longest-legged EVs out there, while a well-specified interior should make this a big hit with families.

Trends

While predicting trends is a bit of a dark art, we can tell some of the issues that will go on to affect the motoring world in 2025.

ZEV Emissions Targets

Tightening emissions targets have already been a cause of concern for car manufacturers in 2024 and they’re set to get tighter still in 2025. Unless a change is made, car manufacturers will need to meet a 28 per cent EV sales target or face paying £15,000 for every car that doesn’t meet that criteria.

It means that manufacturers are under even more pressure to electrify their line-ups and it’s why you’ll notice that the bulk of 2025’s top ‘new releases’ are battery-powered.

Expansion of Charging Infrastructure

One of the biggest stumbling blocks for a lot of drivers in the adoption of electric vehicles is the perceived lack of charging infrastructure. However, it’s expected that the number of charge points will drastically increase in 2025 - just as it has done during 2024.

In fact, as of October 2024, there were 71,459 electric charge points positioned at 36,060 locations dotted throughout the UK - so there is certainly a ready supply of places to top up.
