In the realm of luxury electric vehicles (EVs), a new player has emerged that is poised to redefine the automotive landscape. AEHRA, an Italian-American ultra-premium electric automotive brand, has recently unveiled its latest creations: the AEHRA Sedan and AEHRA SUV. These vehicles are the epitome of world-class engineering, Italian design, and American customer service, all wrapped in a sustainable, electric package.
Earlier this month, AEHRA showcased the exterior design of its second model, the AEHRA Sedan, at the Milano Monza Motor Show. This follows the brand’s first model, the AEHRA SUV, which was revealed in December. Both vehicles are built on a 925-V platform, with battery assistance from Miba, offering a range of up to 800 km from a 120 kW·h pack and charging up to 350 kW.
AEHRA’s mission is to provide customers with an unparalleled driving experience that is as beautiful as it is environmentally respectful and functional. The company was co-founded by Chairman & CEO Hazim Nada and COO Sandro Andreotti, who are committed to delivering a step-change in the design, customer, and ownership experience of ultra-premium electric vehicles.
The AEHRA Sedan and AEHRA SUV are expected to commence customer deliveries by 2026. The final production variants will closely resemble the models revealed, ensuring no compromise on AEHRA’s promise to combine an extraordinary driving and ownership experience with exceptional design and technology.
The design of the AEHRA Sedan and AEHRA SUV is inspired by aeronautics, featuring unique graphic signatures at the front and rear. The vehicles are constructed using exceptionally light, highly sustainable composite materials, including forged carbon-fiber technologies, pushing the boundaries of technical design far beyond anything yet seen in the passenger car sector.
In May, AEHRA announced a partnership with Austrian battery supplier Miba, tailored for integration with the vehicle architecture and body structure of the SUV and Sedan to optimize range, efficiency, and weight saving. AEHRA’s “clean sheet” development model prioritizes sustainability and battery repairability to extend both battery unit and vehicle life.
The AEHRA Sedan and AEHRA SUV are not just about performance and luxury; they also offer significant benefits for customers when they are not driving. The battery technology includes provisions to support bi-directional charging, giving customers the ability to return electricity to the grid and power their homes.

AEGRA Sedan
The Sedan shares the same design language and body surface treatment as the SUV but stands apart with unique graphic signatures at the front and rear. The design of the Sedan is a testament to centuries of Italian design and purity of expression, featuring a single fluid line from the side and a body divided by light and shadow.
The vehicle’s front section combines technical elements such as active aerodynamic and cooling elements with a cleaner, purer shape that flows from the hood to the windscreen and over the roofline. This fluid shape, inspired in part by the aeronautic sector, gives the AEHRA Sedan an air of effortless efficiency.
AEHRA’s Head of Design, Filippo Perini, explains that the design of the Sedan draws inspiration from various sources. “In Italy, we exist in a living museum. The influence of art and architecture is all around us, and beauty is all around us. A beauty that stems from purity of expression and aesthetic functionality,” he says.
The Sedan, like the SUV, is constructed using ultra-advanced, exceptionally light, highly sustainable composite materials, including forged carbon fiber technologies. These materials, typically reserved for the supercar and hypercar sector, allow AEHRA to push the boundaries of technical design beyond anything seen in the passenger car sector.
The AEHRA Sedan and SUV are designed and engineered to deliver optimum efficiency and target an 800km driving range, thanks to a bespoke battery solution developed in partnership with Miba Battery Systems.
AEHRA Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, Hazim Nada, confirms that the first customer deliveries of the AEHRA Sedan and AEHRA SUV will commence by 2026. “And when the final production variants take to the road, they will look virtually identical to the models we have revealed, ensuring no compromise on our promise to combine an extraordinary driving and ownership experience with exceptional design and technology,” he adds.
The AEHRA Sedan boasts impressive specifications, with a length of approximately 5.1 meters, a width of around 2.0 meters, and a height of 143 cm. The vehicle weighs less than 2 tons and features 24″ wheels at the front and rear. The Sedan offers an autonomy of over 800 km, a limited speed of 265 kmph, and a power range of 550-600 Kw. The price positioning for this ultra-premium electric vehicle is set between 160-180k USD.
AEHRA SUV
The SUV, revealed to the global media in Milan, where AEHRA is headquartered, presents a radically different style that embodies a vision of effortlessly elegant futurism. With a 3-meter wheelbase, a radically low front end, and exceptionally short front and rear overhangs, the AEHRA SUV stands apart from any other vehicle on the market today. Its striking, narrow elongated headlights and LED lighting strips create a unique visual signature that commands attention.
The SUV’s design elements reflect AEHRA’s commitment to defying modern, mass-market automotive convention while upholding the values of classic Italian design. This is evident in the seamless flow of the glassware from the front of the car over the roof and down to the rear of the tailgate, and in the stunning elytra-like doors that open skywards, providing easy access to the spacious cabin.
Filippo Perini, AEHRA’s Chief Design Officer, explains that the SUV’s design goes far beyond the conventional standards set by the automotive industry. “We have used a monobody construction, which is now normally reserved for supercars only. We have taken an equally radical approach to aerodynamics, which play a central role in the design, driving characteristics, and efficiency of the SUV,” he says.
The SUV’s design optimizes aerodynamic drag reduction, cooling, and battery thermal management, thanks to the use of cutting-edge Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). AEHRA has also adopted innovative aerodynamic management with movable elements at the front and rear, enhancing the vehicle’s sporty ride, active safety, and range.
The SUV’s efficiency is further enhanced by the use of ultra-advanced, exceptionally light, highly sustainable composite materials, including forged carbon fiber technologies.
Hazim Nada, AEHRA Founder and CEO, comments, “The AEHRA SUV represents a radical combination of cutting-edge sustainable materials, ultra-advanced EV technology, smart manufacturing technologies, and pure Italian design. It ushers in a new era of EV style and sophistication, and signifies the next successful milestone on AEHRA’s strategic journey to a rollout of both our sophisticated vehicles to global markets in 2025.”
The AEHRA SUV boasts impressive specifications, with a length of approximately 5.1 meters, a width of around 2.0 meters, and a height of 164 cm. The vehicle weighs less than 2 tons and features 23″ front and 24″ rear wheels. The SUV offers an autonomy of over 800 km, a limited speed of 265 kmph, and a power range of 550-600 Kw. The price positioning for this ultra-premium electric vehicle is set between 160-180k USD.
AEHRA is a testament to the future of luxury EVs. With its Italian design, world-class engineering, and American customer service, AEHRA is set to redefine the automotive traveling experience. As the brand continues to grow, the future of mobility looks more exciting than ever.
