2025 Cadillac Escalade IQ
This is Cadillac’s first electric version of their best-selling SUV (the Escalade was introduced in 1999). The Cadillac IQ is all new for 2025, and is a full-size, three-row electric SUV that seats up to 7 passengers. In particular, the presence and stance of the arching design and overall size of the car are impressive.
With an estimated 450 miles from a single charge, and up to 750 horsepower, you can easily haul this people-mover up to 60 mph in “less than” 5 seconds. Additionally, an 800-volt DC fast-charging system promises up to 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes of charging time. Pricing will start around $130,000.
2025 Lucid Gravity
The Lucid Gravity will ground major car manufacturers in the electric SUV market, especially after it’s award-winning introduction of the ultra-high-end Lucid Air in 2022. After receiving MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, this all-electric SUV is engineered for performance, luxury and efficiency. Conveniently, the newly designed aerodynamic shape and a bespoke interior has enough room for 7 adults. And better yet, an EPA range of up to 450 miles and access to the Tesla Supercharger network (the largest network in the US), the Lucid Gravity is perfect for road-tripping.
Manufactured in the US, the Lucid Gravity is assembled in Casa Grande, Arizona, at Lucid Motors’ state-of-the-art AMP-1 (Advanced Manufacturing Plant 1) manufacturing facility. The Lucid Gravity Touring starts at around $79,999. Later in 2025, orders will be available for the Lucid Gravity Grand Touring, with an MSRP of $94,999.
2025 Rolls-Royce Spectre
This is the ultimate luxury automotive vehicle that epitomizes the pinnacle of elegance: the 2025 Rolls-Royce Spectre. Traditionally, Rolls-Royce has dominated the top-tier luxury vehicle market. Now, with their first electric vehicle, they will dominate the top-tier luxury electric market. The coupe’s cabin has a lavish interior, which is accessed by a rear-hinged door. The twilight headliner and bespoke interior for customization are especially worth noting.

2025 Lexus TX
Another of our honorable mentions is the 2025 Lexus TX 550h+. It features a magnificent plug-in hybrid option with a powerful V6 engine.
