The BMW iX3 brings BMW's familiar SUV poise into the electric era, blending restrained styling and a comfortable, composed ride that will please traditionalists dipping their toes into electrification. It's quiet, practical and rather grown-up about going electric — a sensible choice for buyers who want BMW driving manners without the drama.

Alpine A390

The Alpine A390 is the brand’s leap into the fast electric crossover arena, wrapping Dieppe’s lightweight ethos in a sleek, coupe-ish body with real everyday usability. If the steering and chassis feel echo the A110, this could be the enthusiast’s family EV—subtle, sharp, and très chic, with enough theatre to make the school run feel like a pit lane exit.
