Auto Bild magazine has released its list of the best cars for 2025, and the main takeaway is clear: electric vehicles have firmly established themselves as the technological leaders. Eight out of the ten models in the ranking are fully electric.

The top spot goes to the Mercedes EQS 450+, which earned a record score of 1.2. This model stands out for its high comfort level, quiet ride, and a real-world range of up to 678 km. Experts noted that the car feels more like a luxury lounge on wheels than a traditional sedan.

The top three also includes the BMW i5 Touring and Audi A6 e-tron, confirming a trend: the premium segment is transitioning to electric power faster than any other. More affordable models like the Tesla Model 3 and Skoda Enyaq also made the list, showing that electric cars are expanding across all vehicle classes.

The key advantages of electric vehicles—smooth dynamics, low noise levels, and no vibrations—are now seen as standard features rather than bonuses. However, high prices and large dimensions, especially in urban settings, remain weak points.

As cars become increasingly high-tech, it's the electric platform that is redefining comfort and quality. This ranking sends a signal to the market: electric vehicles are no longer an alternative but a new standard. And the gap between internal combustion engines and EVs will only widen from here.
