You’ll be able to choose between all-electric variants with up to 792km of range, or hybrid models for those not keen on taking the electric leap. There will be big electric leaps for Mercedes in 2026, though, as the firm will be renewing its key SUV offerings with two hugely significant new models – the GLB and GLC. BMW's new Electric M3BMW is currently Arctic-testing the new electric M3, but it’s rather tight-lipped about the car’s performance. However, we do now know that BMW will copy some of Hyundai’s homework and – like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N – give the electric M3 simulated gear changes. Four-figure power outputs have been spoken of for the new electric M3, so expect some serious EV thrills.
