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.

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.

Fang Cheng Bao's first sedan, codenamed "Magnesium 9", is set for a 2026 launch. The coupe-style EV features a closed grille, oval headlights, slip-back roof and hidden handles, plus a roof-mounted LiDAR for advanced ADAS. Dual powertrains—pure electric and DMO PHEV—are expected, with an estimated price range of RMB 200-300k, positioning it against rivals like the Xiaomi SU7 and Zeekr 001 .

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.

Perodua is exploring a RM500 million acquisition of TCMA’s Serendah plant, sources tell The Edge. The 40k-unit-capacity site, only 3 km from Perodua’s headquarters, already leases 30k units annually for QV-E EV paint and assembly, generating RM80 million for cash-strapped Tan Chong whose overall utilization hovers at 13%. The deal would lift Perodua beyond its current 320k maximum output and secure dedicated EV capacity, while Tan Chong monetizes excess assets.
