The summer of 2025 is drawing to a close, but the electric car market is hotter than ever. Far from taking a break, brands have launched a new product offensive that promises to redefine the options for European drivers.
This past week, three names have dominated the headlines: the highly anticipated Suzuki e-Vitara, the sporty Lancia Ypsilon HF, and the ultra-competitive Citroën ë-C3. We analyze what each one brings and what this new wave means for your next car.
Suzuki e-Vitara: The Electrification of an Icon
The king of compact SUVs is finally embracing full electrification. The new Suzuki e-Vitara, unveiled just a few days ago, is not just a battery-powered version of its popular model, but a reinvention. With a range that, according to the first official figures, will exceed 450 km WLTP and a design that maintains its robust DNA but with more aerodynamic lines, Suzuki seeks to attract both its loyal fans and new drivers looking for a reliable and versatile electric SUV. Its main selling point will be a near-perfect balance between efficiency, space, and a price that is expected to be highly competitive in its segment.
Lancia Ypsilon HF: The Return of a Legend in Electric Key
For nostalgic enthusiasts and lovers of sportiness, Lancia has dropped the bombshell of the week: the Lancia Ypsilon HF. With the legendary elephant logo back, this 100% electric version not only pays homage to the past but also looks directly to the future. We're talking about a power output of around 240 hp, a specific setup with firmer suspension, and a radically sporty aesthetic. Lancia doesn't just want to return to the market; it wants to do so in style, reminding everyone that sportiness and electrification can and should go hand in hand.
Citroën ë-C3: The Electric Car for Everyone Becomes a Reality
Citroën ë-C3
While others are targeting nostalgia or the SUV segment, Citroën is hitting hard: price. The definitive version of the ë-C3, the first units of which are already being prepared for mass release, arrives with the promise of being one of the most affordable electric vehicles on the market, without sacrificing practicality. With a range of over 300 km, ideal for everyday use, and the brand's unmistakable comfort, the ë-C3 is destined to be the vehicle that finally democratizes electric mobility for thousands of families.
The arrival of these three models demonstrates the maturity of the electric market, with the range of options adapting to different needs and budgets. From Suzuki's versatile SUV to Lancia's sporty whim to Citroën's logical solution, the choice is increasingly rich and competitive.
