10 Coolest-Looking EVs on UK Roads in 2026 — #1 Looks Like a Concept Car!

For decades, electric cars looked properly boring. Beige little eco-pods designed by committee, with all the visual excitement of a beige cardigan. Then something snapped. Designers realised that without a massive petrol engine to package, an EV's bodywork could be anything they could dream up. And in 2026, the British EV market is absolutely flooded with cars so good-looking, they belong on art gallery walls rather than supermarket car parks. Today on Nick's Car Review, I'm counting down the 10 electric cars with the SICKEST, COOLEST, most head-turning designs you can buy in the UK right now. From the understated Volvo EX30 and the retro-reborn Renault 5, through the aggressive Cupra Tavascan, the futuristic Kia EV6 GT and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the rear-windowless Polestar 4, the divisive BMW i7, the iconic Porsche Taycan and Mercedes EQS, all the way up to the absolutely outrageous Lotus Eletre at the top — these are EVs so beautifully designed they deserve to be on display rather than parked. Some are affordable. Some cost six figures. All of them prove electric car design has properly never been more exciting in Britain. 🔔 Subscribe to Nick's Car Review for weekly UK EV breakdowns, buying guides, and honest electric car coverage.
