The rear features horizontal taillights reminiscent of the new X3, a robust bumper, and M Sport trim with sportier front and rear fascias.

The profile showcases newly designed mirrors and semi-flush door handles, aligning the compact SUV more closely with BMW's evolving electrified family aesthetic.

The design features a 120+ cm wide chrome grille and a 2.15 m² clamshell hood, with dimensions of 5,239/2,029/1,819 mm and a 3,169 mm wheelbase. The intelligent driving system employs 43 sensors including one 520-line long-range LiDAR and four solid-state LiDARs, offering H7 (700 TOPS Nvidia Thor-U) and H9 (1,400+ TOPS with production L3) configurations.

Porsche has created a bespoke Taycan Turbo GT for a Swiss customer and devoted e-performance enthusiast who already owns three all-electric sports sedans from Zuffenhausen. Collaborating with Porsche Centre Lugano and Sonderwunsch specialists, the most powerful Taycan ever produced has been transformed into a uniquely personalized vehicle. This project elevates individualization in the BEV sector to an unprecedented level, demonstrating Porsche's bespoke customization capabilities and brand premium in the high-end electric sports car market.

The Stelato G9 has become the first vehicle to secure Beijing's L3 autonomous driving test license at 120 km/h. The large SUV employs a multi-sensor fusion system combining LiDAR, vision, and mmWave radar, featuring an automotive-grade 896-line LiDAR. It passed simulation, closed-course testing, and four safety validations: functional safety, SOTIF, cybersecurity, and data security. The L3 system covers nighttime scenarios with navigation-assisted, efficiency, and safety lane-change capabilities on high-speed roads. Already listed in MIIT filings, the G9 features an 800V architecture with both EREV and BEV options, scheduled for Q3 launch around August.

The all-new BMW X5 M60 has been spied in prototype form ahead of its expected 2027 debut. Power comes from a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine, while a separate X5 M with a V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain is also planned. Exterior updates include enlarged lower bumper air intakes for improved cooling. Notably, the D-pillar features an illuminated M badge—a design element first introduced on the new BMW i3—making the X5 M60 potentially the first ICE model to adopt this feature, enhancing M brand identity and sporting character.
