Here are the new EVs going on sale for the 2022 model year. As usual for EVs, there may be some slippage in terms of availability, with some models even falling back to the 2023 model year if timing backs up. And some examples below might be coming for 2022, but only in limited numbers or select markets. (All prices below include destination.)

Audi E-Tron GT

Audi’s original electric E-Tron SUV and its tapered-roof E-Tron S sibling are joined for 2022 by the sleek E-Tron GT, a performance sedan that’s a corporate cousin of the Porsche Taycan. (Audi and Porsche are among the Volkswagen Group’s many brands.) The E-Tron GT with dual electric motors comes in a 469-horsepower “base” version (with up to 522 hp available with boost and launch control), while an RS version raises peak output to 637 hp. EPA-rated range is 238 miles. The GT starts at $103,445, while the RS starts at a lofty $143,445.

Audi Q4 E-Tron

Audi’s new Q4 E-Tron, an entry-level electric SUV, will come in traditional SUV and tapered-roof Sportback models. Smaller than the original E-Tron but similar in size to the Q5, the Q4 rides Volkswagen’s new modular electric platform. It offers one motor in the rear (201 hp) for the base SUV or two-motor all-wheel drive (295 hp combined) for higher trim levels. The EPA estimates AWD range at 241 miles, but the base SUV has not been rated as of this writing. Pricing starts at $44,945.

BMW i4

The i4 is a compact sports sedan based on the 4 Series Gran Coupe fastback. BMW offers a base version, the i4 eDrive40, with a 335-hp motor in the rear; there’s also a sportier dual-motor i4 M50 with RWD and a combined output of 536 hp. BMW estimates range ratings will be 300 miles and 245 miles, respectively. The base model starts at $56,395.

BMW iX

The new iX, available in xDrive50 form, is BMW’s first electric SUV and follows the unusual styling of the Vision iNext Concept revealed in 2018. The X5-sized iX is built on a new EV platform, and it has dual-motor AWD with a combined 516 hp and a BMW-estimated range of about 300 miles. Tech highlights include a glass roof with automatic shading and a curved widescreen dashboard display. The iX starts at $84,195.

Chevrolet Bolt EUV

Chevrolet’s Bolt EV hatchback got a mild freshening and lower pricing for 2022, but the bigger Bolt news (literally) is the EV’s new Bolt EUV sibling, a slightly larger SUV-ish version with more interior room and a shared platform and powertrain. The Bolt EUV’s range is EPA-rated at 247 miles versus 259 miles for the hatchback. A signature feature for the EUV’s Premier top trim level is the $2,200 option of GM’s Super Cruise driver-assist tech, which enables hands-free lane centering on compatible roads. EUV prices start at $33,995, which is $2,000 more than the base Bolt EV.
