When it comes to the best-looking electric cars, there are so many options out there.
Whether you want a hatchback, saloon, estate or SUV, there’s something for you.
Because they don’t require the same engine cooling vents as petrol and diesel cars, brands can be more adventurous with their designs, as demonstrated in the cars below.

The best-looking electric cars

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo
Porsche makes three different versions of the Taycan, but the Sport Turismo is by far the best-looking of the bunch.
It's based on the sports saloon but has a sleek estate/shooting brake-like body, which not only makes it look sporty but also offers more practicality, giving 446 litres vs. 407 litres of boot space in the saloon.
The front has been designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, helping the car move through the air with minimal resistance, increasing its range.

Kia EV9
Nothing makes a statement at the school gates quite like a Kia EV9. Its blocky look and sharp LED headlights make it stand out more than almost any other electric SUV on the market.
It’s one of the few seven-seaters that can genuinely fit seven adults, making use of the rearmost boot seats.
Plus, it gets a 333-litre boot with all the seats in place, growing to 2,318 litres when just the front two seats remain, meaning it’s perfect for trips to IKEA or weekend camping excursions.

Renault 5
When Renault brought back the ‘5’ for the modern day, it proved two points: firstly, retro styling is so back, and secondly, you can make an electric hatchback look better than most petrol ones.
Including distinctive styling cues from the original was a smart choice. It has extras such as a battery charge level indicator on the bonnet and bumpy rear lights that hark back to the original.
Its proportions are also spot on, allowing you to place the car perfectly on the road and in any car parking spaces at the shops, because it’ll squeeze into almost any of them.

Hyundai IONIQ 6
If aliens came down from space tomorrow, we’d show them the Hyundai IONIQ 6 to remind them of home. From its sleek shape like a slippery bar of soap to its camera door mirrors, it’s quite an impressive feat of engineering.
In practice, these door mirrors shouldn’t work very well because the screens are awkwardly positioned in the cabin, and surely the rain and sunshine would affect them? But to our surprise, they actually work really well, and you get used to them very quickly.
Another design feature we love is the 80s-style lighting with individual blocks of light creating whole light bars – it’s very swish.

Rolls-Royce Spectre
If you want the best of the best, a Rolls-Royce Spectre is a great place to start. It has one of the best electric car interiors, and because it’s a Rolls-Royce, it offers ultimate luxury.
Sure, its front grille may be a bit too glitzy for most people, but when you’re spending upwards of £330,000 on a car, you may as well show off a bit. You can also have more subtle specs using darker tones and classier, simple add-ons.
Our favourite stand-out feature has to be the swept rear. It connects the front of the car to the rear so seamlessly in one fine swoop, it’s like it’s been hand-drawn by Jean-Louis Sauvat.

Audi A6 Avant e-tron
To a lot of people, estate cars can come across as a bit awkward and misplaced, but the Audi A6 Avant e-tron is a car that isn’t only practical, it looks the part too.
Audi’s managed to simultaneously keep the aggressive front grille, synonymous with fast Audis, while adding a swooped roofline that ends with a sharp and refined rear – it’s truly a thing of beauty.
Unlike its petrol-powered RS6 cousin, the A6 Avant e-tron has a blanked-off front grille because it doesn’t need to swallow as much air as a car with an internal combustion engine, giving a smooth appearance.

Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica
The Italians have done it again. The Alfa Romeo Junior Electric is a small SUV that looks just as good as sporty models of old.
Its front-end is the main eye-catching element, with a triangular front grille featuring aggressive yet curvy fascia panels around it.
The back is a little more awkward, and the brake lights are like one long monobrow, but it’s this sort of striking look that helps separate it from its rivals.
)
Peugeot e-208
Modern Peugeots are a giant leap on from the old Peugeot design, which for many years was a bit bland and basic.
The French marque has now embraced the lion on its badge and started to make really handsome cars. Our favourite electric model is the e-208.
If you choose a bright colour such as Agueda Yellow, the front of the car has a sort of exploding star effect which blends nicely into the ‘lion claw’ marks of the daytime running lights.
