The third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan SUV features a choice of two plug-in hybrid powertrains, with up to 100km of all-electric running. There’s no better indication of how important the Tiguan is to Volkswagen than the fact that over just two generations the brand has sold more than 7.5 million cars.

BMW’s new performance sedan will put the fun into EVs on a platform that can handle 1000kW of power. BMW development boss Frank Weber has confirmed that the firm’s next M3-sized performance sedan – and potentially a wagon – will go all-electric. The M3 EV will be based on the firm’s Neue Klasse platform, with an on-sale date as early as 2027, “not too far away from the initial launch of the Neue Klasse as a product line”, according to Weber.

The Lotus Emeya gets up to 657kW from its dual-motor powertrain for a 0-100km/h sprint in less than 2.8 seconds – and rapid performance extends to charging too. Lotus is fully focused on an all-electric future and has launched its third EV in the form of the Lotus Emeya four-door electric GT car. Following the Evija hypercar and the Eletre SUV, Lotus describes the Emeya as a “four-door hyper GT”, pitching the car as a rival to everything from the Porsche Taycan Turbo S to the Tesla Model S Plaid.
