New electric cars 2021 - page 5

Mercedes EQS

Just as the GLA and GLB are set to get electric counterparts in 2021, so too will the next S-Class saloon – in the form of this EQS, as well as an SUV equivalent to the GLS. Mercedes even called it "a fully electric member of the next S-Class family". Details are sparse for now, but Mercedes has said the EQS will have the longest range of any electric car on sale, with 435 miles claimed. The car was last spotted testing on public roads in January and is set to go into production in mid-2021. Read more about the Mercedes EQS here.

Nissan Ariya

Likely to be one of the most successful electric SUVs of the year, the Ariya is Nissan's take on electrified family transport. Based on a 2019 concept of the same name, the Ariya gets a choice of battery sizes, up to 389bhp and as much as 310 miles' range on a single charge, depending on specification. The new car will be built on Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi CMF-EV underpinnings, which will also form the basis of a similar model from Renault based on the Morphoz concept. Although the Ariya is slated to go on sale in early 2022, we expect to see prices and specifications before the end of 2021. Read more about the Nissan Ariya here.

Nissan Juke Electric

Nissan is looking to launch an electric version of the Juke SUV, using tech from the Ariya. Nissan Europe’s general manager for product planning, Nicolas Bozek, told us that there were plans to use the powertrain in future models, and that a more affordable, smaller car would make sense for that. Read more about the Nissan Juke electric here.
