London’s new black cabs are confirmed for 2027 – here’s a first look

A new London cab will hit the streets in 2027 - (LEVC)

London’s famous black cab is getting ready for a rare update, with maker LEVC confirming that an all-new replacement for the familiar TX will arrive in the UK in the second half of 2027.

The new taxi is already well into development and LEVC has released the first design sketches, giving us an early look at what comes next. It’s still very clearly a black cab, with the familiar upright shape and big glass area, but the sketches show a cleaner, more modern look rather than a complete reinvention.
