2025 is already shaping up to be a great year for the electric car, with some fantastic examples set to be released. And while this price won’t be beaten for some time (as far as we can tell), the revamped all-electric Renault Twingo will certainly be close behind.
Although yet to be confirmed, pricing for the Twingo EV is expected to be under £17,000 when it goes on sale - The little motor, with its funky, retro styling, will likely be a big hit in the UK and could become the nation’s go-to option for a cute city car - much like the Fiat 500 before it. Not only is the Twingo great for penny pinchers, it’s also efficient and practical - set to combine its 185 miles of range with a spacious, five-door setup. While the little EV isn’t quite as cheap as the Twingo - with a price tag thought to be around £25,000 - it’s still far more affordable than many EVs on the market at the moment. With the Raval, drivers will get around 270 miles of range and 234 bhp, while parts will be shared with the VW ID.2all - with Cupra living under the same umbrella as the mighty German firm. Speaking of which… the upcoming ID.2all will slightly undercut its Cupra-powered brother, with a starting price of around £21,000. Set to be a little shorter than the VW Polo but with more space inside, the ID.2all will feature a 490-litre boot and will be the first model built on VW’s long-awaited MEB entry platform. It’s not just the Twingo that’s being brought back to life with an electric flavour. Already spotted is the R4 E-Tech, another car that's getting the ‘retro-futuristic’ treatment with subtle nods to its 1960s counterpart. £28,000 might be a little steep, but it packs 250 miles of range and a maximum amount of practicality. Priced slightly below the R4 is the 5, and although its price tag hasn’t quite been confirmed just yet it’s expected to start from £23,00
