The 212 T01 60th Anniversary Edition interior features a two-tone design with exclusive embroidery. Exterior adds commemorative graphics and soft-top. Dimensions are 4705/1895/1936mm with a 2860mm wheelbase, 40° approach and 36° departure angles. The 185kW 2.0T engine pairs with an 8AT, part-time 4WD, optional diff locks and OFFROAD mode, blending rugged capability with modern tech.

JLR’s 2026 roadmap confirms six debuts, headlined by the first-ever Range Rover EV. Built on MLA-Flex, the 117 kWh pack drives dual motors for 550 PS and 531 km WLTP range via 800 V architecture. Facelifted Range Rover and Sport gain a 12-inch standalone climate touchscreen, while an electric Velar joins the line-up, accelerating Land Rover’s full electrification push.

Mercedes-Benz will unveil the VLE on March 10, 2026, in Stuttgart. Riding on the new 800-volt VAN.EA architecture, the model replaces both V-Class and EQV, blending limousine comfort with MPV versatility. Up to eight seats, 116 kWh battery and around 500 km WLTP range are expected, while exterior cues from the Vision V concept—star-pattern lamps, light bar and perforated grille—carry over to production.

The Xpeng G7 EREV breaks cover with a 1.5T range extender and 5C ultra-fast-charge 800 V architecture, delivering 430 km electric plus 1 704 km combined range. Design tweaks include an unbroken light bar, active aero grille and new Star-Dusk Purple paint, cutting drag while positioning the SUV for anxiety-free long-distance EV travel.

Toyota has instructed key suppliers to prepare for a 2026 global output of 10 million vehicles—up roughly 6% from an expected 9.94 million in 2025—citing surging hybrid demand, especially in the U.S. The plan secures long-term parts capacity for hybrids’ core components like E-CVT and power electronics, reinforcing Toyota’s lead as EV growth slows and its THS system delivers both fuel economy and cost competitiveness.

A newly published BYD patent describes a post-impact control strategy: once a crash is detected, drive and steering motors instantly counteract impact torque to keep the front wheels straight, preventing steering-wheel snatch and secondary accidents. By leveraging electrification for passive safety, the system complements airbags and high-strength steel, and could later integrate with ADAS to guide the damaged vehicle toward a slightly safer trajectory.
