Hongqi, a luxury brand of FAW Group, has signed an MoU with Quill Group, which has obtained the exclusive rights as the official importer and CKD distributor for Hongqi’s entry into Malaysia. Hongqi plans to launch officially in Malaysia in the middle of this year, with its L5 model for VVIPs only, and is advancing the global layout of new energy SUVs.

On July 20, the 2027 Exeed ES officially launched, offering one pure electric and two range-extender variants with prices from 169,900 to 199,900 yuan. Positioned as a track-level performance mid-to-large smart coupe, the new model is built on Exeed's upgraded all-domain new energy platform and comes standard with high-end Falcon intelligent driving assistance and Pánshí 2.0 all-domain safety system. The exterior adopts the "Phoenix Feather Butterfly Face" design language, retaining a sleek fastback coupe silhouette with standard sport rear bumper and optional Shadow Sport package (ISD Wind Whisper interactive headlights and wind-control electric spoiler), earning the German iF, American MUSE, and Italian A'Design awards. Body dimensions measure 4,945×1,978×1,480mm with a 3,000mm wheelbase; the 1.48m height delivers a 0.22Cd ultra-low drag coefficient. The signature connected Star Ring LED light band pairs with the ISD Wind Whisper interactive lamp cluster featuring 1,200 individual LED beads supporting customizable welcome, farewell, turn signal, and parking light patterns.

Geely Galaxy will debut the Battleship 700 on July 24, a new mid-to-large SUV featuring a rugged, boxy design language. The exterior includes a narrow-slat grille with square-outside-round-inside headlamps, hood vents with sculpted lines, orange bumper accents, and a front tow hook. A roof-mounted lookout LiDAR signals advanced intelligent driving capabilities. Power comes from a plug-in hybrid system with either a 2.0L or 1.5L turbocharged engine paired with a tri-motor all-wheel-drive system, expanding Geely Galaxy's premium new energy SUV portfolio.

Geely's Galaxy sub-brand has unveiled the "Thunder" 16-in-1 electric drive system, developed by subsidiary InfiMotion, claiming to be a world first and achieving a production-record 93.8% efficiency. The 800V system integrates 12 hardware functions (motor, motor controller, reducer, DCDC, OBC, PDU, HBMS, LBMS, VCU, TMS, active pre-charge control, and power domain gateway) and four software capabilities (intelligent energy management, intelligent charging management, intelligent motion control, and intelligent health management). This eliminates over 180 components, achieving a power density of 16 PS per kg. Weighing 75kg with 1,200 PS output, the system cuts high-voltage wiring by 30% and low-voltage by 15%. Standing under 325mm tall, the system provides additional 28mm of cabin space.

Powertrain options include single-motor and tri-motor variants, further expanding Denza's portfolio in the premium electric sports sedan segment.
