The mid-range model upgrades to a 77kWh battery with 224 PS, reaching 0-100km/h in 7.4 seconds and offering 600km of range. The top-tier dual-motor AWD variant produces 343 PS, accelerates to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds, and has a range of 525km. The C-HR+ measures 4,520mm x 1,870mm x 1,595mm with a 2,750mm wheelbase.

The EREV version offers 435km CLTC pure electric range and 1,602km combined range.

Spy shots of what appears to be a new Geely pure electric compact car with internal code "E211" have emerged. The new model features a two-door hatchback design with compact dimensions, positioned below the Geely Starwish and above the Geely Panda, likely as an A0 or A00 segment pure electric vehicle. The interior is relatively minimalist with the central screen and steering wheel covered in camouflage. Seats feature black-and-white two-tone perforated leather, possibly with ventilation function, and physical buttons remain below the central screen. Specific details are yet to be officially disclosed.

Tesla posted a teaser on X showing a red Roadster with vertical launch pad-style lighting, captioned "go for launch" and stamped 10.01, with a countdown confirming October 1 launch. The event will be held in Waco, Texas, about 90 minutes from Tesla's Austin headquarters. The four upward plumes match Tesla's August 2025 patent for four-fan arrangements creating downforce. The hidden text "where we're going..." nods to Back to the Future. The car has been delayed nine years since its 2017 unveiling with claims of 0-100km/h in 1.9 seconds and 1,000km range. Reports indicate the demo vehicle will not be street-legal and may be offered through a Ferrari-style track programme rather than regular production.
