Munich Motor Show 2025: Every new EV to see at this year’s IAA

From BMW to Volkswagen and Audi to Vauxhall, these are all the new EVs being revealed at this year’s Munich Motor Show

The Munich motor show is just weeks away and, as ever, is set to host some major new model reveals. Big German brands including BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen are set to unveil road-ready versions of their new electric models. Alongside them other manufacturers have a mix of production cars and concept models hinting at the future direction of their EV strategy. Ahead of the show, which runs from September 9 to 14, we’ve rounded up every key EV to check out at this year’s event.

Audi e-tron sports concept

Audi boss Gernot Döllner confirmed in July that the Ingolstadt firm would reveal a new electric sports car at this year’s IAA. He told Bild that the new model would be Audi’s “TT Moment 2.0” and hinted that it would sit physically between the TT and R8 models, both of which have been recently discontinued. Details are incredibly scarce, but there are rumours it could sit on the Mission R platform due to underpin the new Porsche 718 EV.

BMW iX3

The new BMW iX3 will be one of the big reveals of the 2025 Munich show. The next-gen family SUV is the first of the Neue Klasse EVs from Munich and promises big advances in technology and eco-friendliness. We expect the design to be a toned-down interpretation of the Neue Klasse X concept and we know it’ll sit on 800V architecture that will bring significant range and charging boosts as well as major advances in efficiency.

Cupra Raval

We’ve known about the Raval for a while and Cupra has shared ‘concept’ images already but Munich will give us a better idea of the finished product, albeit under camouflage. It’s closely related to the VW ID.2 and is set to be a B-segment hatchback in the vein of the Seat Ibiza/VW Polo. Expect Cupra’s trademark sporty styling, 223bhp and a premium price tag to set it apart from the VW.

Cupra Showcar

As well as an actual production car, Cupra’s Munich stand will feature its new Showcar. It isn’t destined for production but the sporty Spanish firm says the concept vehicle will “embody the brand vision and its future design language”, and is ”the perfect symbiosis between human and machine, where the driving experience and emotions reach their fullest expression”. Okay then.

Hyundai Ioniq 2

Hyundai already has a pretty impressive spread of electric models but it will expand that further with the arrival of the Ioniq 2. Like the related Kia EV2, it will slot in beneath the EV3/Kona Electric but above the Inster as a de facto EV replacement for the Bayon. It will use the same E-GMP platform and powertrain as the EV3 but is expected to cost in the region of £25,000 and challenge compact crossovers such as the Renault 4 and VW ID.2 X.

Leapmotor B05

The Leapmotor B05 is the Chinese-European joint venture’s answer to the Volkswagen ID.3 and MG4. Details are relatively scarce but like the T03 city car and C10 SUV, we’d expect a focus on value, with a starting price of less than £30,000 and plenty of equipment. Leapmotor has also claimed it will do up to 400 miles on a charge, but that’s likely to be on the more lenient Chinese test cycle.

Mercedes-Benz GLC

LIke its direct rival the BMW iX3, the new GLC will be one of the biggest stars of Mercedes’ home show. Like the iX3, it’s a premium family SUV that promises a major technological leap over its predecessor. An 800V platform will mean more power and significantly more range than before – think close to 400 miles – plus charging power of at least 320kW.

Mercedes-AMG GT XX

The GLC is the sensible, volume-market site of Mercedes’ Munich offering but alongside it, we’ll get the public debut of the mad Mercedes-AMG GT XX. This is the first ground-up AMG EV and is a Porsche Taycan-troubling four-door super saloon with astonishing looks and jaw-dropping numbers. Three radical axial flux motors produce 1,341bhp to allow a 0-62mph time of less than 3 seconds and top speed of 223mph. A bespoke 114kWh battery promises a big range and 850kW ultra-rapid charging.

Polestar 5

Speaking of Taycan rivals, we’ll see the latest prototype version of Polestar’s own at Munich. Previewed way back in 2023 and driven up the hill at Goodwood this year, the Polestar 5 is a sleek grand tourer promising more than 880bhp from a two-motor all-wheel-drive setup. As with previous Polestar’s there’s also a big focus on innovative and sustainable materials throughout.

Porsche Cayenne electric

The next-generation Cayenne marks another step towards electrification for Porsche. While the existing ICE model will remain on sale, next year’s all-new model will be all-electric. The bigger brother to the Macan Electric, the Cayenne is based on the same PPE platform and is expected to pack a variety of two-motor powertrains offering up to 996bhp, ultra-fast charging and a range of close to 400 miles.

Skoda Vision O

That’s O for Octavia. Skoda hasn’t explicitly said so, but you can bet that this new “concept” will give a clear idea of what to expect from its next-gen family car. Teaser images show a fairly traditional estate body shape, fronted by the now-familiar Tech Deck “face”. Beneath that, we expect the electric Octavia to be built on VW Groups’ new SSP platform which should bring range and efficiency improvements over its existing EV range. There’s no word on a launch date yet, but it’s expected to be at least 18-24 months away.

Skoda Epiq

While we’ll be waiting until at least 2027 for the new Octavia, the Skoda Epiq will be arriving in 2026 and we’ll see the production version of it at this year’s Munich show. It’s an “urban SUV” in the vein of the Hyundai Inster and promises to bring 200+bhp and 250 miles of range for under £25,000.

Vauxhall/Opel Manta GSE

Opel (and by extension Vauxhall) will bring new life to its GSe performance sub-brand in Munich with this new concept car. The few teaser pictures we’ve seen suggest a striking angular new design with lots of bold race-inspired touches but give little clue as to the body style. The Manta name hasn’t been used to describe the car but the first press announcements did reference the legendary Manta 400, so there’s a chance we could see a two-door electric coupe on the Opel stand.

Volkswagen ID.2

The ID.2 is Volkswagen’s electric Polo and is due to go on sale in 2026 priced from as little as £22,000. It has already been previewed with the ID. 2all concept but Munich will bring the production-ready version. It’s based on the MEB Entry platform and bears a lot of external similarities to the existing Polo design. However, under the skin it’s all-electric, using a front-mounted 223bhp motor and either 38kWh or 56kWh batteries offering up to 280 miles of range.

Volkswagen ID.2 X

As the name hints at, the VW ID.2 X is a more rugged sister car to the ID.2 hatchback. It’s a compact urban crossover expected to act as an EV replacement for the T-Cross. It will go head-to-head with the likes of the Renault 4 and Hyundai Ioniq 2. It and the ID.2 will have a similar relationship to the Renault 4 and Renault 5, using the same powertrains and offering similar performance but in a higher, boxier and more spacious body. Like the ID.2, the ID.2 X will arrive in dealers later in 2026.
