Top 10 Electric Cars with the Coolest Tech Features in 2025

Electric cars in 2025 aren’t just about range anymore they’re packed with futuristic tech, from AI assisted driving to smart interiors and next-gen connectivity. These 10 EVs redefine what it means to drive a truly intelligent car.

Tesla Model S Plaid

Honestly, can we do this list and not talk about Tesla? I mean, love ‘em or hate ‘em, the Model S Plaid is still the tech show-off. You’ve got “Autopilot” that kind of drives itself, yeah, but really it’s those updates they shoot over the air one night you sleep, next day your car’s gotten faster or learned a new trick, no biggie. There’s that yoke steering wheel thing that’s, um, “controversial” I think it’s weird and kind of fun? Oh and the screen in this thing, you can literally play video games when you’re parked. Not something your grandma’s Buick can do. Price is up there, like $90k, but when you punch it and warp to 60 in under 2 seconds? Wild.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N

You ever see something and think, “Whoa, why does this thing look ready to time-travel?” That’s the Ioniq 5 N. It takes the normal Ioniq 5 and makes it all… race car. There’s a simulated manual “gearbox” I know, electric cars don’t even have gears, but it fakes the feel so you can pretend you’re, I dunno, shifting an old stick Mustang. And these crazy big screens, AR parking assist, it even does weird engine noises inside if you miss old-school revving (or just wanna wake up your neighbors). Not the cheapest, just over $63k, but honestly, feels like you’re getting away with something at that price.

BMW i7

Okay, now if you want something that’s more “posh spaceship” than car, the BMW i7 is, like, peak drama. Panoramic LED-lit dashboard, an actual “Theater Screen” for the back seats (yep, a genuine 8K TV drops down). Rear seats massage you, doors close by themselves, and the iDrive system basically learns your habits. Like, does it eventually decide you snack too much on drive-thrus? I hope not. Not gonna lie, you’re looking at $120k-ish to get in, but if you want techy luxury, this thing’s over-the-top.

Kia EV9

So Kia’s just… quietly getting amazing at this, and the EV9 is, uh, shockingly cool. Three rows, so bring your friends, and you’ve got an interior that’s super chill, made from recycled stuff but feels high-end. But what’s wild is the dashboard screen situationpanoramic, does everything from nav to Netflix, all crystal-clear. Digital keys so your phone is your key, AR head-up display, and it’ll update itself just like your phone. Wild part? Priced, uh, sorta fairly by these standards about $56k, which is less than you’d think for all the gadgets.

Lucid Gravity

You wanna talk about range anxiety? Lucid basically looked at that and said, “Yeah, nah, we’re good.” The Gravity has, like, 450 miles on a single charge and super-fast 900V charging too, which is just nuts. Inside, you get this huge floating glass cockpit, like piloting a jet, and there are voice controls for basically everything. Also, if you like road trips and hate bathroom stops: the seats recline, almost like a daybed. But, uh, gonna need about $80k minimum to roll one off the lot.

Audi e-tron GT

Audi just keeps making things pretty and fast, I swear. The e-tron GT isn’t just performance, though updated AR head-up display that’s actually readable in sunlight (aha, finally), haptic touch on almost every button, and digital surround sound system that feels, like, concert-level. Not gonna lie, the acceleration messes with your sense of time 0 60 in under 2.5 if you get the wild one. Price tags… let’s say $106k-ish for the top RS Performance, but dang, you feel like Tony Stark every time you use it.

Genesis GV60

OK, this one totally surprised me. The Genesis GV60, it’s got this whole “crystal ball” shifter thing, which is just show-off but kinda cool. Facial recognition to unlock the car, and even fingerprint scanning to start so yeah, it’s like Mission Impossible for real. Interior? So much vegan leather and clever storage I ran out of stuff to lose in it. Over-the-air updates, and there’s like 360-degree AR cameras everywhere. Pricing sits around $60k, which is honestly solid with all the tricks it’s got.

Cadillac Lyriq-V

This is the “I want an American car with outrageous new toys” answer. The Lyriq-V is super sporty, really chill, and just… comfortable, you know? You get this wraparound display, built-in Super Cruise hands-free driving, and even “V-Mode” which is just a button that makes everything go hyper. Performance is wild: 615hp, 0 60 in 3.3, but the vibe inside is pure Cadillac quiet, toasty seats, feels like you could doze off. Just shy of $80k, which is, uh, a big number but less than the German rocket wagons it vibes against.

Tesla Model 3 (2025 refresh)

Y’know how Tesla keeps making the Model 3 just… smarter every year? 2025’s version has these active matrix lights that basically look around corners, AR dash, silly fast acceleration (like sub-4 seconds 0 60 if you tick the right boxes), and invitation to “play” with smart heating or open the glovebox from your phone. Self-driving? Yeah, well, it tries, let’s leave it at that. Price is still the champ for new tech—about $42k to $55k depending which one you pick, not bad for what it does.

Hyundai Kona Electric

Not gonna lie, the Kona Electric always had this vibe of “sensible shoes but secretly sporty.” The 2025 has bigger screens, like, everywhere digital cluster, center info, it’s seriously hard to get bored at a red light. Smart cruise control reads traffic almost creepily well, and the heads-up display is okay for a budget car. It’s fast charging, fairly fun to drive, and you’ll pay around $38k, which sounds, like, almost normal in this list.
