A new year means an exciting and diverse array of all-new cars are heading our way, and here we’re taking a look at some of the big hitters that will be unveiled or launched over the next 12 months.
2025 looks set to be a year of new beginnings for some of the biggest and most-loved car brands. For instance, BMW, Fiat, Jaguar, Mercedes and Volkswagen all have hugely important, next-generation models coming, while others, such as Alpine and Kia, are stepping into uncharted territory in some interesting ways.
Unsurprisingly, EVs will remain the primary focus for many brands this year, with Cadillac returning to our shores soon with a pure-electric line-up, and Suzuki finally introducing its first zero-emissions offering, the e Vitara.
Buyers who fancy some internal combustion muscle won’t be starved for choice though, as coming soon is the eagerly anticipated Dacia Bigster, alongside the next iteration of the popular Audi Q3. Plus the latest Citroen C5 Aircross, MINI JCW and Vauxhall Frontera will be offered with the choice of petrol or electric power.
So whatever area of the new car market you’re interested in, there’s something for everyone – and this list of the biggest and best new car launches proves it.
Best new cars coming soon
Below are all the key new model launches we know are taking place in 2025, 2026 or in the near future, and listed them in alphabetical order…
Abarth 600e
Abarth may be known to most for its rowdier versions of the Fiat 500, but the new Abarth 600e is the most powerful car the brand has ever produced. It uses a brand-new electric motor that can produce up to 278bhp, upgraded brakes and cooling system, plus a mechanical limited-slip differential, all wrapped in a suitably flamboyant bodykit.
