Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo

Just as the Porsche Panamera has its Sport Turismo shooting-brake bodystyle, the Taycan is getting its own estate variant – the Cross Turismo. It costs from just under £80,000 and is already on sale, although deliveries will start in the summer of 2021. It uses the same electric drivetrain technology as its sister model, but there's no entry-level rear-drive version as it’s designed to have some off-road ability – it’s four-wheel drive only. The Taycan 4 has 375bhp and the range goes up to the crazy 751bhp Turbo S model, which takes just 2.9 seconds to go from 0-62mph. Range is about 280 miles at most. Read more about the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo here.

Skoda Enyaq iV

The Volkswagen Group's MEB electric-car platform is giving all brands under that group's umbrella the opportunity to develop their own electric models. Skoda's take is the Enyaq iV, a large coupe-SUV concept whose styling was previewed by the Vision iV concept. We've already driven a disguised pre-production version of the Enyaq and customer deliveries begin in early 2021. It's roughly the same size as Skoda's Kodiaq SUV and will start from just over £33,000 on the road, with a range of 211-310 miles depending on the battery size. Read more about the Skoda Enyaq iV here.

Tesla Model Y

It has been a long time coming, but we're going to have to wait even longer for the Tesla Model Y. The US brand's latest model's arrival in Europe has been delayed a few times; although deliveries have started in America, we expect to see the first cars in the UK towards the end of 2021. Sharing much of its mechanicals with the Model 3 saloon, the Model Y will take on the likes of the Volvo XC40 Recharge P8 at the smaller end of the electric SUV market. The longest-range model will get around 314 miles on a single charge.  Read our early review of the Model Y here.
