Best electric cars arriving in 2024

01. Toyota bZ4X - February

Though Toyota's first all-electric model was due to launch in 2023, delay after delay means saw it land in local showrooms in February 2024.

As a mid-size SUV-like model, the bZ4X will compete against the popular Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5.

Pricing starts from $66,000 for front-wheel drive models. Four-wheel drive is available and the bZ4X touts between 411-436km of driving range.

02. Jeep Avenger - H2

Jeep reckons it's first EV still carries the brand's 'go anywhere' attitude, and even sports dedicated off-road driving modes.

However, the Avenger will be a front-drive-only affair (at least initially), with its single electric motor making 115kW/260Nm.

Driving range when the battery is full is around 400km though, so there's plenty of juice to get you there and back.

03. Abarth 500e Turismo - H1

With instant power and torque afforded by electric motors, the Abarth 500e Turismo could be the best thing to happen to the pint-sized hatchback.

Abarth has also fitted the 500e Turismo with a unique sound generator that will make it sound like you are driving something with an internal combustion engine.

Cool or not, you can find out for yourself now with Abarth 500e Turismos in dealerships.

04. Audi Q8 50 e-tron - H1

The new Q8 e-tron might look familiar to those that know their Audis, and that's because its the original e-tron with a facelift and name change.

Though the higher-spec 55 variants will launch in 2023, the more affordable 50 won't be made available until 2024.

As a large all-electric premium SUV, the Q8 50 e-tron competes against the BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV.

05. Audi SQ8 e-tron - Q2

Electric cars aren't always about efficiency, they can also be sporty and raucous - as evidenced by the Audi SQ8 e-tron.

Dialing up the wick to the tune of 370kW/973Nm means this large electric SUV can accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds.

And despite its potent performance, the SQ8 e-tron is still good for a driving range of 316km with a full charge.

06. Audi Q4 e-tron - H1

The Audi Q4 e-tron has been available overseas for a number of years, but now it's finally Australia's turn.

As a mid-size electric SUV, the Q4 e-tron is aimed squarely at stealing sales away from the Volvo XC40 and Tesla Model Y but does so with the usual Audi twist.

The Q4 e-tron will be available in two body styles - SUV and more stylish Sportback - and should be on sale in the first half of 2024.

07. Mini Cooper EV - Q3

We've seen electric Mini Coopers before, but none quite like this.

And that's because this new-generation car is electric first, and built in conjunction with China's Great Wall Motors.

That means pricing is fairly reasonable, with the base Cooper E at $53,990 before on-road costs. This 2024 model should be fun, fast and customisable.

08. Mini Countryman EV - Q3

Though the Mini Countryman has always been a bit of a quirky option for small SUV buyers, this new-generation, all-electric model might change that.

And that's because EVs are having their moment right now, and models like the Kia Niro, Hyundai Kona, MG ZS, Mercedes-Benz EQA and Lexus UX are all popular all-electric options.

Could the Mini Countryman EV boost sales in a way previous iterations could not? From the third quarter of 2024, we will find out.

09. BMW iX1 eDrive20 - Q1

BMW is set to make its electric cars more affordable with more wallet-friendly versions of the the i4, iX3 and iX1.

Priced at $78,900 before on-road costs, it cuts around $6000 from the asking price of the iX1 xDrive30.

However, the new electric SUV still produces a respectable power and torque output, while also able to travel up to around 475km on a single charge.

10. Chery Omoda 5 EV - H2

Tasked with spearheading Chery's relaunch into Australia, the Omoda 5 has turned heads thanks to its unique styling and stacked equipment list.

And these will also be traits carried over to the all-electric version, which arguably suits the futuristic look of the Omoda 5 much better than its petrol-powered counterparts.

Due to arrive in the second half of 2024, the Omoda 5 EV will go toe-to-toe against the Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro and others.

11. Ford E-Transit Custom - H1

Did you know Ford Australia's first all-electric model was a van? Yep, that was the E-Transit that launched ahead of the Mustang Mach-E.

And Ford will double down on the tailpipe emissions-free light-commercial-vehicle space with the arrival of the smaller E-Transit Custom in the first half of 2024.

As one of the most popular options in the mid-size van space, the electric version of the Transit Custom could make a sizeable splash in Australia.

12. Ford Puma EV - H2

A few years ago, if you wanted an all-electric small SUV, you'd really only have two options - the MG ZS or Hyundai Kona.

But that has quickly changed as the market has exploded, and the latest model to arrive from Ford is the Puma EV due in the second half of 2024.

Details are currently scarce due to the fact the car has not yet been officially revealed, but expect it to also herald a facelift for the rest of the Puma range.

13. Hyundai Ioniq 5 N - H1

A few years ago, the idea of a $100,000-plus Hyundai would have been absurd, but here we are.

The Ioniq 5 N builds on Hyundai's established N brand with a flagship EV hot hatch that costs $111,000 before on-road costs.

However, a 478kW/770Nm capable dual-motor set-up means the Ioniq 5 N can outpace models more than double its price.

14. Hyundai Ioniq 7 - H2

With the Kia EV9 due in local showrooms by the end of 2023, the Hyundai version, known as the Ioniq 7, is sure to follow close behind.

We expect to see it in Australia in the second half of 2024, and will sit atop the all-electric Ioniq range as a large, three-row SUV.

Details are currently scarce as it hasn't even been revealed in production form, but expect styling cues from the Concept Seven.

15. Renault Megane E-Tech - March

Renault is fielding a stylish all-electric competitor in 2024, with the Megane E-Tech in dealers now.

Pricing kicks off from $64,990 before on-road costs, undercutting the Kia Niro EV by about $600.

However, with a 454km driving range and 160kW/300Nm electric motor, it should draw plenty of attention from potential EV buyers.

16. Renault Kangoo E-Tech - Q1

Not content to let Peugeot steal the all-electric small van limelight with its e-Partner, the new Renault Kangoo E-Tech will touch down in early 2024.

This isn't the first time a Kangoo EV has been available in Australia however, as the older-generation Kangoo ZE was offered in the past in limited numbers.

However, with the EV market booming, expect to see the 2024 Kangoo E-Tech find many more buyers.

17. LDV eDeliver 7 - Q1

LDV is quickly charging up the light-commercial EV space, first with its eT60 ute and then eDeliver 9 large van.

But next will be the e-Deliver 7 mid-size van, which aims to take on the likes of the Toyota HiAce and Hyundai Staria-Load.

Various body styles and powertrains will be available, but the largest battery version unlocks a driving range of 364km.

18. MG Cyberster - H2

MG Australia will graduate from its cheap and cheerful roots with the Cyberster sports car set to land in the latter half of 2024.

As a two-seat, drop-top electric car, the Cyberster is unique in the Australian market, but expect to pay over $100,000 for the model.

That puts it right in line with petrol-powered rivals like the BMW Z4 and Porsche 718 Boxster.

19. Peugeot e-208 - Early 2024

Peugeot's tiny 208 hatchback will finally make a return to Australia after being axed in 2018, but with a twist.

Because the new 208 will be an electric only model, boasting a 400km driving range and 115kW/260Nm electric motor that drives the front wheels.

The Peugeot e-208 will competes against the Fiat 500e and Mini Cooper EV.

So what's the difference? The new model boasts a larger battery for a 405km driving range, which is a noticeable boost from before.

Styling is also tweaked, but prices could come up for the e-2008.

Competing directly against the Ford e-Transit Custom, Mercedes-Benz eVito and LDV eDeliver 7, the e-Expert has a driving range of around 330km.

Australia pricing and spec is not yet confirmed though, so stay tuned on more news of the e-Expert as it happens.

22. Polestar 3 - Mid-2024

Polestar Australia has done a lot with a little, as with just one model, the Polestar 2, the brand has found a sizeable audience Down Under.

But the Polestar 2 will finally get some backup in the form of the Polestar 3 electric SUV around the middle of 2024.

Competing against the Mercedes-Benz EQE, Audi Q8 e-tron and BMW iX, the Polestar 3 kicks off from $132,900 before on-road costs.

23. Polestar 4 - Q3

If the Polestar 2 has been a sales success in Australia, the Polestar 4 should go absolutely gangbusters.

And that's because this is the Swedish brand's all-electric mid-size coupe-style SUV, putting it in line with the Audi Q4 e-tron and BMW iX3.

It also happens to be one of the quickest models yet from Polestar, with a 400kW/686Nm dual-motor set-up on offer for a 0-100km/h run in just 3.8 seconds.

24. SsangYong Torres EVX - H2

SsangYong is like a cat with nine lives, but where other models have found middling sales in Australia, this could be the one that breaks the South Korean brand into the mainstream.

The Torres EVX SUV slots in between traditional small and mid-size SUVs, but its electric powertrain serves up a 433km driving range.

If the Torres EVX is priced right, it could upset the established EV order in Australia.

Driving range is up to 600km too, so weekend family trips in the EX90 shouldn't be a problem.

29. Volkswagen ID.4/ID.5 - July

If the success of the Tesla Model Y is anything to go by, the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 pair will be a huge success in Australia.

But what's the difference between the two? The ID.4 is a more traditional mid-size SUV, while the ID.5 turns up the style thanks to its sloped-back design.

If you want one, get in early as wait times for the pair of all-electric SUVs will likely be long after launch.
