The boxy Bollinger B1 SUV might look like vintage gasoline-burning off-roaders of the past, but it boasts a modern all-electric powertrain with 614 horsepower. We see elements of the original Ford Bronco here as well as the Land Rover Defender. The B1 will be built alongside the B2 pickup truck in Detroit and both are said to provide a 200-mile driving range between charges. The B1 is a utilitarian affair, and from what we can see so far its interior is free from just about every luxury. We'll know more about the B1 when it's officially unveiled in production form in September 2019.

For 2021, Audi introduces a more affordable base model that features the Premium designation. Available on both the regular and Sportback e-tron, it costs about $9000 less than the mid-level Premium Plus. It can also be equipped with the Convenience Plus package, which includes driver assists such as adaptive cruise control.
PROS Whisper-quiet operation, luxurious state-of-the-art cabin, tows up to 4000 pounds.
CONS Other luxury EVs have more range, not very engaging behind the wheel, none of the flashiness exhibited by rivals.
