Mercedes-AMG unveiled the AMG GT SUV at its 140th anniversary celebration in Stuttgart – the brand's first native pure EV high-performance SUV since becoming independent, built on the exclusive AMG.EA platform. Positioned as a mid-to-large pure EV high-performance SUV, it directly targets the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, with global deliveries starting in early 2027. Three variants are offered: GT 63, GT 55 and GT 53. The GT 63 and GT 55 use three axial-flux motors (1 front, 2 rear) producing a combined 860kW (1,169HP) with ~2,000Nm torque, achieving 0-100km/h in ~2.5s and 0-200km/h in 6.8s at 270km/h top speed. Battery options are 106kWh and 128kWh with 800V architecture delivering up to 700km WLTP range, and 710kW charging adds 450km in just 10 minutes.

Jetta's new all-electric mid-size sedan M6 is set to launch on Oct 22 with limited pre-sale range 80,800-99,800 yuan.

The camouflaged BMW iX7 has been spotted at the Nürburgring conducting dynamic performance and durability testing, with its debut expected in 2027.

It carries over the split-headlight design of the X7 while gaining new-generation body surfacing and electric hidden door handles. The iX7 will nonetheless get the latest cockpit and powertrain, expected to share motor configurations with the iX5 for 578HP in dual-motor form, with a higher-positioned M-branded performance variant possible. A larger battery exceeding 110kWh is also anticipated for improved long-distance range.
