INCREDIBLE NEXT-GEN EVs

Stunning electric vehicles that are the last word in comfort, power and efficiency

- 

2024 is set to be a huge year for electric cars, with major new launches from Audi, Hyundai and Polestar, plus an all-new Mini and the first electric SUV from Maserati. There's also the Lotus Emeya, a four-door super saloon set to do battle with the Porsche Taycan, the handsome Volvo EX90 and even a two-seat convertible sports car from a resurgent MG. Who'd have thought we would be saying that just a couple of years ago? Oh, and don't forget the first all-electric Range Rover. We don't know much about this one just yet, but it should arrive before the end of 2024, likely beating most other luxury SUVs to the plug-in punch. Plainly, there's a lot to be excited about. So unhook the charger, put on your seat belt and join us for a roundup of the new EVS we're most excited about for 2024.

AUDI A6/06 E-TRON

Audi's electric family will grow in 2024 with the new Q6 SUV (shown above in concept form) and related A6, with the latter available as a coupe-style Sportback and seriously stylish Avant estate. The A6 and Q6 E-tron will share the same platform, naturally, and this will also be closely related to the underpinnings of the electric Porsche Macan.

A dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup is expected, while Audi's next-generation infotainment system will make its debut in the A6 and Q6 E-tron, with three screens spread across the dashboard. Interestingly, the 10.9-inch passenger display has a 'privacy mode' whereby it can show video to the passenger without distracting the driver. Audi says the voice assistant of its new Android Automotive system is self-learning and will remember information from previous conversations.
