SEVEN new car brands are coming to the UK in 2025 – here is a list of the best ones to keep an eye out for.
Brit motor-heads are scrambling to check this guide by Autocar listing some of the incredible new cars set to launch in the UK market.
Denza

Denza has been around since 2010 – but now stands almost shoulder to shoulder with BYD as its premium sibling brand.
Originally a joint venture with Mercedes Benz’s parents company – the firm is now owned in full by BYD.
The first of its cars headed for Europe is the Z9GT.
This shooting brake comes either as a 925bhp EV or an 858bhp PHEV version.
Shortly after, a seven-seat MPV called the D9 will also release in the UK.
Although an official timeline hasn’t been set, Denza will likely join the UK market by the end of this year.
Firefly

Owned by Nio, Firefly is an EV specialist whose first car will aim to rival the Renault 5.
The impressive supermini costs as little as £16,000 in China – and could be one of the cheapest EV’s on the UK market.
Technical specifications such as power and range are yet to be released.
But it’s been speculated that the brand may use Nio’s innovative swappable battery packs.
GAC

The joint-venture partner of Honda and Toyota owned by China is coming to the UK “very soon”.
COO Thomas Schemera confirmed that the launch would happen in the near future.
The first car to hit the UK will be the Aion UT – a hatchback billed as China’s Mini, but is actually the same size Volkswagen ID 3.
The Aion V crossover, a Model Y rival will also launch shortly after.
Mobilize

Owned by Renault, the Mobilize Duo has been dubbed the French car giant’s spiritual successor.
The big battery version can reportedly travel up to a whopping 100 miles.
And a van version of the car called the Bento gets rid of the single rear seat in exchange for more boot space.
Onvo

The car is gearing up to land in the UK due to our lack of import tariffs on Chinese EVs.
The L60 will be the first car to arrive in the UK.
Onvo called it the most aerodynamically efficient SUV on the entire market.
It will likely come with three BYD-supplied battery packs – the largest of which will offer a 620-mile range.
Yangwang

Its biggest car – the mammoth Yangwang U8 SUV – should be on its way later this year.
This off-roader can turn on a sixpence thanks to its quad motors, makes 1180bhp and has a kerb weight of nearly 3,500kg.
It can also even float in water for up to half an hour.
The incredible design is a range-extender with four motors, a 49kWh battery and a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine working as a generator.
Lepas
And finally this Chinese brand which owns Jaecoo and Omoda is also getting ready to launch its third brand, Lepas, into the UK.
Owned by Chery, the Tiggo 4 Pro from Lepas will rival the Dacia Duster when it comes to the UK this year.
It is already sold in right-hand drive markets like South Africa and Australia – with it costing about £13,000 down under.
But its low price may not remain that way once it is sold here.
Jaecoo and Omoda’s focus is large, semi-premium SUVs – while Lepas will be positioned more towards the higher value end of the market.
