Turns out an electric car, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 XRT, can actually win a Mudfest! This battery-powered family wagon, with an extra inch of ground clearance and some butch styling, bagged two awards for being good on tarmac and mucky trails. Built in Georgia, USA, it impressed judges with its versatility, fun factor, and speedy charging.

Aston Martin Valhalla is a 1064 hp hybrid beast driven by Alonso in Monaco! This F1-infused, V8-plus-electric marvel hits 62 mph in 2.5 secs. Limited to 999 units, it's Aston's first mid-engined, PHEV supercar. Price? Probably requires selling a kidney or two.

DS N°4 EV: Is it French for "fantastique" or just "fancy"? This electric hatch packs 213hp, nearly 280 miles of range (optimistically!), and enough "Clous de Paris" trim to make a watchmaker blush. It’s got lights that wink, a roof that floats, and might just be chic enough to forgive its name.

Xiaomi, the phone guys, are at it again with a BIG electric SUV, the YU7! Aiming squarely at Tesla's Model Y, it boasts massive screens, "zero gravity" massage seats, and up to 681 hp. Range? A claimed 385 miles in 15 mins of charging! Skeptical? Me too. Impressed? Annoyingly, yes.

Dodge put four doors on the new electric Charger! A sensible, silent muscle car… Still boasts 670hp & 3.3s 0-60. It’s like your wild cousin got a mortgage but kept the leather jacket. Range is 241 miles – enough for errands, if not escaping the mundane entirely. Intriguing, slightly bonkers, and very Dodge.

Chevy is electrifying the off-road scene with the 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss. More ground clearance, beefy tires, and a "Terrain Mode" that's basically cruise control for mountains? With up to 725 HP and 478 miles of range, it promises big things for a big price. Is it the ultimate electric off-roader or just a pricey way to impress the neighbors?

Opel's gone bonkers, turning their Mokka SUV into an electric rally beast! The Mokka GSE Rally, complete with "OMG! GSE" decals, packs 280 hp, a 54 kWh battery, and no driver aids for maximum sideways fun. Quiet, a bit weird, but utterly fascinating. Is this the future of motorsport? My eyebrows say yes!

The Nissan Micra is back, and it's gone electric! Think of it as a Renault 5 in a stylish Nissan kimono – wink-wink, nudge-nudge (literally, the headlights wink). It's small, chic, has decent range for your organic kale run, and can even power your blender thanks to V2L. Will this Franco-Japanese EV be your new city sweetheart?

Get ready for Fiat's Grande Panda 4x4 Manifesto, a concept that's part retro, part future, and all adorably rugged. This little all-wheel-drive marvel, with its electrified rear axle and beefy tires, is set to make off-roading stylishly electric.

Ever wondered what happens when brilliant engineers from Oxford decide your car needs more punch? They invent pancake-shaped motors so powerful they make Lamborghinis scream and Ferraris purr.

XPeng's new P7 is coming! It's got looks that might remind you of a Lambo (don't tell my lawyer), a spoiler that pops up like a nervous groundhog, and you might even be able to get it with... purple leather. Nothing says "sporty electric sedan" like potentially purple seats…

Guess who's back and got a little bit spicy? The electric Renault 4 concept, the Savane! It’s got a lift, chunkier tires, and TWO motors for AWD goodness. Perfect for navigating those tricky mall parking lots or, you know, actual slightly-less-smooth surfaces. It’s still cute.

Toyota's electric C-HR has 338 horsepower! In a C-HR! That's enough to hit 60 mph in 5 seconds – quicker than I can find my keys on a Monday morning. Comes with AWD, so you can make a speedy (and stylish) escape from awkward conversations.

Toyota's built an electric SUV called the bZ Woodland. It's got black plastic fenders, "removable wheel covers" (don't ask), and "Grip-Control" for tackling bumpy bits. With 375 horsepower and 8.3 inches of ground clearance, it's ready for a slightly overgrown parking lot. Or maybe just looking tough at the charging station.

Toyota's bZ ditched the "4X" & got a glow-up! More range (up to 314 miles!), quicker charging (NACS!), and a 50% power boost. Looks snazzier inside and out. Less "meh," more "ooh-la-la!"

One hundred thousand folks slapped down fifty bucks for a truck they haven't even seen properly! It's like ordering a mystery box, but bigger and hopefully with wheels. Will it be the electric savior of our wallets, or just an expensive paperweight with a charging port?

Athens' finest go electric with the adorable Fiat 500e! Tiny but tough (maybe?), these charming EVs are zipping through city streets. Will their 117 hp catch the crooks? And can they fit anyone in that sneaky back door?

Spanish lunatics built an electric track toy lighter than a startled chihuahua. 500 hp, charges in 5 mins. Costs more than my house (and yours). My internal organs are intrigued. My bank account is weeping.

AMG is going electric! Looks like they're trading glorious V8 rumble for silent, neck-snapping speed. This new super saloon promises enough power to make your eyeballs sweat. And your wallet, of course.

Sensible shoes? Nope! This Mini Countryman's gone full SAS! Wider than your average armchair, lifted higher than a startled cat, and ready to tackle… probably just a really bumpy driveway. But it looks the business! Who needs subtlety when you can have a Mini that's clearly overcompensating?
