BMW IX From £69,000 The atmosphere in BMW showrooms this year will certainly be electric. Readers of our website will know we’re big fans of the iX3, the newly released all- electric version of the i3 SUV (see review, businesstraveller.com/tag/cars). There will also be an electric addition to the 4 Series, as well as this, the new iX, which will go on sale in the winter. With front- end styling that can only be described as challenging, the iX will be BMW’s technology flagship, with a 100kWh battery and an impressive 600km range. Roughly the size of today’s BMW X5, it can be fast-charged to 80 per cent of its capacity in 40 minutes – crucially, it represents the future for BMW’s electric range and line-up as a whole.


AUDI E-TRON GT From £79,900 Audi really ruffled features when it introduced the R8 sports car back in 2006 and it may do the same with the new all-electric e-tron GT, which is on sale now. Using the same platform as the super Porsche Taycan, the e-tron GT is a four-door coupe with a 93kWh battery that gives a range of up to 470km. With the equivalent of 589bhp in the flagship RS version and four-wheel drive, it can cover the 0-60mph sprint in only 3.3 seconds. At launch there are just two versions of the Audi e-tron GT, the quattro and GT, although expect other models to be introduced in due course, following the lead of the Taycan. BT
