Mercedes-Benz C-Class EV: Similar, Yet Different
In 2027, we will see two very different interpretations of the C-Class on the road. The existing C-Class will continue in sedan and estate body styles with a facelift and internal-combustion hybrid powertrains, while the fully electric C-Class will arrive in the final quarter of 2027 with a design that feels both familiar and distinctly different.
In terms of design, the conventional C-Class maintains a traditional, aristocratic stance with its long bonnet, rear-set cabin and classic three-box sedan proportions. The fully electric C-Class, on the other hand, distinguishes itself with a lower front end derived from the MB.EA platform, a flowing roofline and a fastback/Kammback silhouette that gently tapers towards the rear.
While the standard model retains traditional chrome-trimmed or AMG-styled sporty radiator grilles, the electric version adopts the brandās new-generation illuminated closed grille, together with innovative LED graphics featuring star motifs integrated into the front and rear lighting units, complete with animated welcome sequences.
The electric C-Class is expected to achieve an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.22 Cd, supported by features such as active air channels and aerodynamically optimised wheels. Inside, sustainability takes centre stage with certified vegan interior packages, recycled microfibres and soft-touch ecological surface materials.
Genesis GV90: Taking Aim at Rolls-Royce and Bentley
Hyundaiās premium brand Genesis has made one of the most striking production-car announcements of recent years with the new GV90. Although it is a full-size SUV, the model aims to offer exceptionally generous space for every passenger, effectively addressing the needs of luxury MPV buyers as well.
Genesis also intends the GV90 to serve as a more accessible alternative to ultra-luxury models such as the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and Bentley Bentayga. At the same time, it seeks to appeal to customers who might previously have chosen the increasingly rare F-segment luxury sedan, reflecting a careful understanding of contemporary luxury-mobility expectations.
Fully electric and producing 657 horsepower, the Genesis GV90 features an 800V fast-charging architecture, rear-wheel steering and a smooth multi-chamber air suspension system. Beyond its visual presence, it aims to rival established luxury manufacturers in ride comfort and cabin refinement, with features including acoustic glass more than 5 mm thick.
One of Rolls-Royceās signature design elements, rear-hinged coach doors, also appears on the GV90. Combined with a cabin architecture that eliminates conventional B-pillars, they make entering and exiting the vehicle considerably easier.
As part of the GV90ās Neolun specification, the front seats can rotate 180 degrees while the vehicle is parked. A wooden floor in the second row, radiant heating for the floor and armrests, and an integrated beverage refrigerator transform the cabin into a mobile VIP lounge.
A curved OLED screen can expand from 23.6 inches to 24.6 inches while the vehicle is stationary, while the 25-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system with Virtual Venue technology can recreate the acoustic characteristics of legendary venues such as Wembley Stadium, elevating the in-car digital experience even further.
Thanks to its 800V architecture, the Genesis GV90 can charge from 10 to 80 percent in just 22 minutes and is expected to offer a driving range of around 500 kilometres on a single charge. Initially focused on the North American market, the GV90 is expected to enter Europe by mid-2027, with a projected starting price of around ā¬150,000. There has not yet been any official confirmation regarding its introduction to the Turkish market.
Audi A2 e-tron: A Cult Compact Goes Electric
Audiās cult A2, famous for its all-aluminium body, is returning to the road as an electric model after an absence of roughly 20 years. Like its predecessor, the new version focuses heavily on efficiency, while blending original A2 design cues with Audiās contemporary styling language.
The five-door hatchback is expected to achieve a drag coefficient of 0.24 Cd and offer range options of up to 645 kilometres. In its larger-battery configuration, an 84 kWh NMC battery is paired with an output of 322 horsepower. The European entry-level version, expected to start at ā¬38,850, will feature a 61 kWh LFP battery and offer a range of approximately 515 kilometres.
The original Audi A2 measured just 3.82 metres in length and belonged to the supermini, or B-segment, class. The new A2 e-tron grows significantly to 4.32 metres, moving closer to the compact C-segment. Its standard luggage capacity is 396 litres, expanding to 1,336 litres with the rear seats folded.
The new Audi A2 e-tron is built on the Volkswagen Groupās flexible electric architecture and will be produced at Audiās historic Ingolstadt plant in Germany. Thanks to an optimised 400V electrical system, charging from 10 to 80 percent at a DC fast-charging station is expected to take between 24 and 29 minutes depending on the version.
Expected to reach the road before the end of 2026, the Audi A2 e-tron is also anticipated to arrive in Turkey during 2027 as the āmost affordable Audiā in the range.
Range Rover Electric: The Inevitable Evolution
If even the Mercedes-Benz G-Class can have a fully electric version, why shouldnāt the Range Rover? Enter one of 2027ās most luxurious electric SUVs: the Range Rover Electric.
Equipped with an advanced battery pack with a capacity exceeding 110 kWh and an all-wheel-drive system powered by two electric motors, the Range Rover Electric aims to deliver acceleration comparable to V8-powered models while offering a WLTP driving range of close to 600 kilometres.
Naturally, it remains true to the brandās legendary off-road heritage. Thanks to a specially insulated battery enclosure and intelligent driving modes, it is capable of wading through water up to 90 centimetres deep, setting it apart from many rivals. Of course, using it under such conditions will reduce the available driving range. After all, a Range Rover is not designed solely for luxury boulevards; it is engineered to keep moving off the beaten track as well.
Compared with its combustion-engined siblings, the Range Rover Electric is equipped with Intelligent Driveline Dynamics, or IDD, which can detect and react to wheel slip up to 100 times faster, in approximately 50 milliseconds.
This allows the system to distribute torque between the rear wheels anywhere between 0 and 100 percent in real time, helping the vehicle maximise traction across different surfaces.
As always, Range Rover brings an array of sophisticated engineering solutions in pursuit of first-class travel. Acoustic laminated glass, dedicated floor insulation and an Active Road Noise Cancellation system, combined with driver- and passenger-focused speakers integrated into the headrests of the Meridian sound system, are designed to make the Range Rover Electric the quietest and most serene travelling environment in the brandās history.
By focusing on cancelling unwanted sound waves through a combination of counteracting acoustic frequencies and vibration-reduction technologies, the cabin is designed to allow only the sensations occupants choose to experience.
Alongside traditional luxury leather upholstery, fully leather-free interiors will also be available. Special concepts such as Light Cloud combine Kvadrat wool-blend technical textiles with premium sustainable materials such as Ultrafabrics.
The VIP-lounge atmosphere is completed by electrically operated centre armrests incorporating 8-inch touchscreens, heated armrests and door panels, electrically adjustable seats with hot-stone massage functionality, and Cabin Air Purification Pro technology featuring PM2.5 and nanoe X filtration. All of this is expected to reach the road in 2027.
Volkswagen ID. Polo: Now Electric Too
The Volkswagen Polo, perhaps the ultimate embodiment of the idea of the āpeopleās car,ā is set to become one of 2027ās most ambitious electric models.
Despite being shorter than the current combustion-powered VW Polo, the ID. Polo benefits from the packaging advantages of the MEB+ platform. It promises generous interior space and a 441-litre luggage compartment, a figure well above the norm for its class. Volkswagen is targeting a European starting price of below ā¬25,000.
Entry-level versions will use a cost-focused 37 kWh LFP battery and offer outputs of 116 and 135 horsepower. Higher-specification models will feature a 52 kWh NMC battery, producing up to 211 horsepower and offering a claimed WLTP driving range of up to 454 kilometres.
Depending on the battery version, DC fast-charging speeds will range between 90 kW and 105 kW, with a 10-to-80-percent charge taking around 23 to 24 minutes.
Even in the electric era, the Polo will retain a GTI version. The VW ID. Polo GTI will become the first fully electric production model in the brandās 50-year GTI history. Its front-mounted electric motor produces 226 horsepower and 290 Nm of torque, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds.
When the driver selects the āGTIā driving profile, the vehicleās systems switch into a more dynamic configuration, while the digital cockpit and 13-inch infotainment screen adopt special red-and-black GTI graphics and colour schemes.
The new Polo combines a driver-focused 10-inch digital instrument cluster with a centrally mounted 13-inch tablet-style āInnovisionā infotainment display. Also noteworthy is a nostalgic digital āRetro Displayā theme inspired by the first-generation Golf.
Depending on the version, retro-inspired seat upholstery will further connect the spirit of the past with the modern electric driving experience. We will, however, have to wait a little longer before the exact versions of the Polo to be offered in 2027 are confirmed.
BMW i3: The Controversial Future Has Become the Present
The second model shaped by BMWās āNeue Klasseā design philosophy, which looks to the companyās past to define its future, is the new 3 Seriesāand its fully electric counterpart, the i3.
Set to reach the road in 2027, the BMW i3 presents itself as an engineering manifesto designed to carry the iconic spirit of the 3 Series into the electric era, while preserving the organic connection with the road that has traditionally defined a BMW.
The new BMW i3, whose design is becoming increasingly familiar with each passing day, uses a central computer known as the āHeart of Joyā to deliver a sense of mechanical fidelity to the driver.
Its intelligent xDrive architecture prioritises rear-wheel-drive characteristics and aims to anticipate driver inputs milliseconds before they occur, particularly when exiting corners, in pursuit of a more authentic and engaging driving experience.
Sixth-generation cylindrical battery cells provide up to 30 percent greater energy density, while charging capability of up to 400 kW is intended to redefine the experience of long-distance travel in an electric car.
The BMW i3 is expected to offer up to 559 kilometres of range under WLTP standards, while real-world highway and urban driving scenarios could push that figure beyond 700 kilometres.
Around 400 kilometres of additional range can be gained from just 10 minutes of charging, while a 10-to-80-percent charge is expected to take only 20 to 21 minutes.
The range-topping version uses two electric motors and a rear-biased intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system, producing 469 horsepower and 645 Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 4.5 seconds.
And with an M3 version of the BMW i3 also on the horizon, it is easy to believe that this once unusual vision of the future is very close to becoming todayās reality.
Togg T6X: Target Price of TRY 1.3 Million
June 2027 has been announced as the month when pre-orders for Toggās new entry-level T6X will open, with first deliveries expected to begin in early July.
It was also stated in August 2026 that the company is targeting a starting price of approximately TRY 1.3 million.
The brandās signature inverted-L-shaped daytime running lights will also feature on the T6X. Positioned in the B-SUV segment, the fully electric T6X is also considered a strong candidate for the use of LFP, or lithium iron phosphate, battery chemistry, particularly in the interests of cost optimisation and widespread urban use.
