The Roewe Jiayue 07 will debut on August 13. Positioned as a mid-to-large SUV targeting the 150,000-200,000 yuan segment, it uses a range-extended powertrain. The exterior features a 2.24-meter connected light bar, roof-mounted LiDAR, and Momenta R5 advanced driver assistance. Dimensions measure 4900/1910/1745mm with a 2,908mm wheelbase, offering six color options. The powertrain pairs a 1.5L range extender (72kW) with a 162kW motor, matched with 32.6kWh or 44.2kWh batteries delivering 180-240km WLTP pure electric range (320km max CLTC). It also features the Doubao large model 2.0 series.

Spy shots of the facelifted Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W206) have surfaced online, with the mid-cycle refresh expected to debut next year. The exterior receives a larger hexagonal shield-shaped grille with a thick chrome border and winged chrome trim. The headlight daytime running lights have been redesigned from a downward arrow shape to a tri-star pattern positioned centrally, aligning with the updated E-Class's lighting language. The taillights mirror this tri-star design. As a mid-cycle update, powertrain options are expected to remain unchanged.

Spy shots of the facelifted Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W206 long wheelbase variant) have emerged from China. The front end features a completely redesigned oversized grille with a black surround lifted from the W214 E-Class and EQ series, paired with star-pattern LED headlights. The rear end gets two-piece taillights with additional star elements. Inside, the 12.3-inch freestanding instrument display and 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen are retained. Engine options are expected to include the M264 1.5L and 2.0L turbo fours, OM654 2.0L turbodiesel, and PHEVs like the C350e, C300de and C400e. A straight-six C53 may replace the four-cylinder C43 and C63 PHEV variants. The facelifted C-Class will compete against the next-generation BMW 3 Series (G50).

The Daihatsu Ayla Modern Vintage debuted at GIIAS 2026 in Jakarta as a styling exercise, featuring a pink and off-white dual-tone theme with a higher clamshell bonnet. The exterior embraces retro aesthetics with block-lettered "DAIHATSU" branding, an egg-crate grille, and simple wheel covers, while the head and tail lamps incorporate modern LED internals in a D-shaped design. The bright beige-heavy interior includes retro seat covers with classic Daihatsu script, a vintage-style steering wheel, and clean air-conditioning controls. The bodykit is intentionally understated, presenting a clean rear bumper with minimal details.

The Geely Xingyue L, launched in 2021, remains Geely's best-selling model with 15,220 units sold in June alone. Spy shots of the new model (internal code KX21) have emerged. The exterior retains the vertical multi-bar front grille with redesigned, more slender headlamps and a roof-mounted LiDAR (not installed on the test vehicle). It wears 235/50 R20 wheels with the Geely China Star logo. The interior is expected to feature a dual-screen setup. The i-HEV hybrid system continues with a 1.5L turbo engine (120 kW) and electric motor (175 kW). The presence of both charging port and fuel cap on the test vehicle suggests a PHEV variant may also be offered.

Nissan has released preview images of the all-new NX7. Positioned as a mid-size SUV below the NX8, it is expected to have a lower starting price than the NX8's 159,900 yuan. The exterior adopts a new design language with split headlights, though the daytime running lights are not connected. The diamond-shaped lamp housing features an L-shaped design with an illuminated front logo. The vehicle comes equipped with a LiDAR sensor, roof rails, and pronounced character lines on the hood for a more dynamic profile.
