Weighing in at over 3,200kg, the electric G-Class isn’t exactly the most efficient EV around, but it’s more powerful than its G63 AMG sibling and can do a claimed 285 miles on a single charge. It goes on sale this Autumn, with prices starting at just over £180,000.Â
MG Cyberster
While electric hot hatches have been enjoying a recent resurgence, sports cars are a bit thin on the ground – but MG has seen to that with its new Cyberster. Taking on a similar GT character to its 1960s ancestors, the Cyberster pairs a smooth ride with impressive performance – 496bhp, 725Nm and 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds.
Taking its place as the halo car in the hugely successful MG range, the Cyberster is priced at just under £60,000 and currently sits in a class of one – all its rivals use internal combustion engines, at least for now.Â
MINI Aceman
Pitched as a compact crossover to take on the Volvo EX30 and Renault Megane E-Tech, the Aceman slots in between the MINI Hatchback and Countryman in the brand’s recently modernised range, with a similarly stylish exterior and minimalist interior treatment.Â
The entry-level Aceman E gets a 42.5kWh battery, 181bhp and a claimed range of 192 miles, while the SE gets 54.2kWh, 215bhp and 252 miles of range. It’s safe to expect sportier Cooper models further down the line, too. The Aceman is available to order now, with prices starting at £31,800.
Omoda 5 EV
Chinese manufacturers have taken the UK market by storm recently and the Omoda 5 looks set to jump on the bandwagon. We’ve driven some late prototypes and were impressed, especially given the electric variant’s expected £33,500 starting price and keen finance deals in the works.Â
