A flood of new battery-powered models is coming from brands as diverse as Cadillac, Alfa Romeo, Dodge and Mini. Legacy luxury automakers like Audi and BMW are filling out parallel gas and \u2018lectric lineups, while some famous badges like the Porsche Boxster\/Cayman are plugging in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Most customers still prize gas-powered SUVs, and 2025 will bring remakes of popular models like Expedition, Navigator, Yukon and Tiguan. But all of that investment in premium EVs is driving up costs. The average price of the 36 cars models listed here is $62,866, with nine under $40,000 and just one under $30,000. So be sure and have resources to back your resolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Here are the models we expect on the horizon from each auto group.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2024\/11\/21\/PDTN\/76488389007-jeep-la-show-broderdorf.jpg?width=660&amp;height=372&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"Jeep North America CEO Bob Broderdorf addresses the media as part of a Stellantis press conference at the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Styling is expected to be based on the New Klasse Concept, a break from the brand\u2019s traditional, center-mounted kidney grilles. The interior should feature fashionable, wall-to-wall screens like rivals Mercedes and Cadillac. Engines will likely be based on Bimmer\u2019s tried-and-true, turbo-4\/inline turbo-six formula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>BMW M5 and M5 Touring:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $123,275<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After a year\u2019s sabbatical, the BMW M5 muscle car is back for \u201825. \u00a0The wicked version of the 5-series sedan uses electrification to boost performance, marrying an electric motor to a turbo-V-8 for an eye-watering 717 horsepower. Zero-60 mph? 3.1 seconds. BMW will also bring a wagon version to the States called the M5 Touring; it\u2019ll go paw-to-paw with the Audi RS 6 Avant superwagon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>BMW X3:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $50,675<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">BMW\u2019s popular gas-powered X3 SUV gets major plastic surgery for its fourth generation with a remade exterior and minimalist interior. All-wheel-drive power comes from a 255-horse turbo-4 or 393-horsepower, turbocharged inline-6. Navigation instructions can be overlaid on the road ahead using an augmented-reality head-up display.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Mini Aceman:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $39,000 (est.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Mini is rushing to an all-electric future by 2030. The five-passenger Aceman EV targets the meat of the Tesla Model Y-dominated, premium, $39,000-$50,000 electric EV compact market with two front-wheel-drive options making 184 or 218 horses. With a short-ish range of 200 miles and smaller dimensions than the gas-fed Countryman, the Aceman is on the bubble for U.S. sales.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Ford\/Lincoln<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Ford Expedition:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $63,695<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The big three-row Expedition gets a redesign, adding numerous family-friendly features to its palatial interior.

BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is standard \u2014 as is the customizable 48-inch interactive display (compared to the Expedition\u2019s 24-incher) that arcs from A-pillar to A-pillar at the base of the windshield.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">General Motors<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Cadillac Escalade IQ:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $99,000<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Escalade goes all-electric the only way an Escalade knows how: bigger and bolder. The IQ (all Caddy EV models end in \u201ciq\u201d) is a foot longer than its gas-powered brother and wears enormous 24-inch wheels. A 200-kWh battery powers two electric motors for 750 horsepower.

Sharing proportions with the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Optiq goes upscale with Caddy\u2019s signature 33-inch curved screen and standard AWD. Expect range of about 300 miles and 300 horsepower from its 85-kWh battery. Chrome-inspired Luxury and black-trim Sport models will be offered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Cadillac Lyriq V:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $70,000 (est.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The first V-Series performance version of Caddy\u2019s EV lineup.

With a starting price almost 30 grand north of the gas-powered XT6, Vistiq unlocks a new world of premium family cruising. With a 102-kWh battery, the 614-horsepower Vistiq nearly doubles the XT6\u2019s power while offering half its range at an estimated 300 miles. Vistiq gets state-of-the-art tech, including a 33-inch curved screen, standard Super Cruise drive assist and Google built-in operating system. The palatial interior sits under a standard, two-panel panoramic roof.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Chevrolet Bolt:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $30,000 (est.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After ending production in 2023, Chevrolet\u2019s first mass-market full EV is being resurrected on a newer platform shared with other battery-powered Chevys, Caddies and GMC models. Bolt 1.0 was built on GM\u2019s BEV2 platform, and the new version should offer faster charging. The affordable Bolt is consistent with Chevy\u2019s practice of offering an entry-level model under $30K (currently, the $35K Equinox is the brand\u2019s lowest-priced EV offering) and will likely be standard with FWD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>GMC Terrain:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $31,395<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The Terrain SUV is remade with a new exterior style and a big, vertical 15-inch infotainment screen. A 175-horse turbocharged 4-banger powers FWD and AWD versions. \u00a0Standard Elevation trim gives way to an off-road AT4 trim and fancy-pants Denali.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>GMC Yukon:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $68,895<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Following its Chevy Suburban and Cadillac Escalade siblings, the truck-based Yukon mega-ute gets refreshed. A 16.8-inch infotainment screen dominates the interior, and shifting gears is accomplished by a steering-wheel stalk, opening more console room. Two 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V-8 options carry over, along with a sippier 3.0-liter inline-6 turbodiesel.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Jaguar Land Rover<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gnt_em_img_i\" src=\"https:\/\/www.detroitnews.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2024\/12\/02\/PDTN\/76713893007-jaguar-type-00-concept-frrr.jpg?width=660&amp;height=346&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"The Jaguar Type 00 Concept previews the brand's reboot as an ultra-luxury electric automaker.\" width=\"523\" height=\"274\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<div data-c-caption=\"The Jaguar Type 00 Concept previews the brand's reboot as an ultra-luxury electric automaker.\" data-c-credit=\"Jaguar Land Rover\">\n<p><em>The Jaguar Type 00 Concept previews the brand&#8217;s reboot as an ultra-luxury electric automaker.

How that translates to a production car will come into focus later in 2025 when the Brit brand unveils a majestic sedan called the I-Type with similar proportions to the concept.

Expect design to follow the \u201823 Concept CLA sedan with its shark-like nose and lean, Coke-bottle shape. The airy interior will likely feature an expansive dash screen beneath a panoramic roof. The drivetrain will electrify with gas-hybrid and fully electric options.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Stellantis<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong>Dodge Charger:<\/strong>\u00a0Price: $40,000 (est.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Dodge fills out its new muscle car lineup with the gas-fired Charger. Production of the Challenger coupe and Charger sedan ended in 2023, and Dodge has consolidated its muscle cars under a single Charger model line.

Ram flips the script on the traditional, battered-assisted hybrid-gas engine formula with the Ramcharger, a full-size truck that is primarily powered by a 92-kWh battery pack with about 145 miles of range.
