A few days ago we talked about the most important innovations that the automotive industry is going to leave us during this year that has just begun (). There we already saw that electric models are going to have a great weight. 2020 will undoubtedly be the year that battery cars take off. For this reason, in this new article we collect the exclusively electrical news that we will see arrive over the next few months. At least the most prominent. They are of all types and segments, and also of different price ranges. These are the best electric cars that we will see arrive in 2020:
Audi
Audi e-tron Sportback
Audi has its heavy artillery of electric models ready, which has already begun to see the light of day with the e-tron and will continue this year with the Audi e-tron Sportback and . The first is a coupe variant of the well-known , which will be able to attract the eyes of those who seek sensations and aesthetics of all-road, but are more concerned with the aesthetic and dynamic than practical. It will arrive this spring with two electric motors, 313 and 408 hp, and with a range that, in the best of cases, is 446 kilometers. For its part, the second model is something like an electric A7 Sportback, that is, a four-door coupe sedan with generous dimensions, which will arrive to make room for rivals from brands like Tesla or Porsche. But that will come later.

BMW iX3 Concept
This is going to be the year in which BMW takes off in terms of electrification.

To do this, it uses a fifth-generation electric motor with 286 HP of power and 440 km of autonomy, which is surely the step of access to an offer that will end up growing with even more powerful options.

Ford
Ford Mustang Mach-E

Porsche
Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
He was the great revolution of Porsche in 2019.
