Here’s Every All-New or Redesigned EV for 2026

What Car Shoppers Need to Know

• Dozens of new and redesigned electric vehicles are arriving for the 2026 and 2027 model years.
• Prices range from less than $30,000 to well over $100,000.
• New models include budget EVs, three-row family haulers and off-roaders.

The end of the federal tax credit in September 2025 meant many buyers were suddenly paying $7,500 or so more for the same EV. Automakers continue to churn out new electric models at a staggering rate, however, and not only do shoppers have more choices for a new EV, but more affordable choices are bringing the average selling price of an EV closer to that of a traditional vehicle with an internal-combustion engine.

Scroll through the list below for details on all the new or significantly redesigned model-year 2026 and 2027 EVs. We’ve also highlighted two notable examples, one with a base price barely over $30,000 and the other with a range well beyond 400 miles.

2027 Kia EV3

A base price of $31,385 (all prices include destination) doesn’t make the 2027 Kia EV3 the cheapest EV you can buy, but it lands it in second place. The Kia undercuts the Nissan Leaf by less than $200, but the Chevrolet Bolt remains the only EV in the U.S. that starts below $30,000.

The base EV3 has a single motor making 201 horsepower and a 58.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack good for 221 miles of range. For just over $5,000 more, shoppers can upgrade to the Wind trim level, which piles on an additional 100 miles of range thanks to an 81.4-kWh battery. Even at that price, the EV3 is still comfortably in the top half of our list of the cheapest EVs.

2027 BMW iX5

While the Kia makes headway in the affordability arena, the 2027 BMW iX5 advances EVs on another critical front. Its 144-kWh battery provides a range of up to 435 miles, according to BMW, and makes it one of the longest-range EVs you can buy. You’ll be able to buy it soon when it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2027.

With a base price of $81,250, the iX5 is $7,000 more expensive than the gas-powered next-generation X5 it was launched alongside. All-wheel drive is standard on both SUVs, but the iX5’s dual electric motors generate 176 hp and 111 pounds-feet more than the X5’s turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, for totals of 570 hp and 539 pounds-feet.

What’s the Difference Between an All-New and Redesigned EV?

When we say, “all-new,” that’s an EV like the all-electric 2026 Rivian R2 that didn’t previously exist.; The Subaru Trailseeker and Lucid Gravity are also examples of newly available models. This is different from “new” in terms of “new versus used” ownership.

A redesign is an existing EV that’s been given a thorough update with changes to its interior, exterior and how it drives, like the 2026 Leaf. There’s another category we left out, including “refreshed” or “face-lifted,” which are EVs that see changes, but the overall usability and place in the market doesn’t change significantly. Examples of these include the 2026 Tesla Model Y and Genesis Electrified GV70.

Why Are There 2027 EVs on This List?

Car models are named by model year, make and model name. It’s possible, and frequent, for a 2027 model-year SUV to be on sale in calendar-year 2026, like the 2027 Bolt that’s been on sale since January 2026.

Which EVs Are the Cheapest?

The 2027 Bolt is the only EV with a base price under $30,000, making it the most affordable electric car as of this writing. The Leaf may eventually take that crown, but Nissan has postponed the arrival of the entry-level Leaf until at least calendar-year 2027. There are, however, numerous compelling EVs with starting prices under $40,000, including the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, which we named the Best Electric Vehicle of the Year two years running.

When Do These EVs Go on Sale?

Some SUVs, such as the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, are on sale right now, while others, like the EV3, go on sale later in the year. To find out which SUVs go on sale when, always check the manufacturer’s consumer site because it’s not uncommon for release dates to change from when they’re first announced.
