In response to poor sales of the Fiat 500e since its 2020 launch, Fiat has reengineered the electric model to introduce a petrol-powered version called the 500 Hybrid. Pre-production has begun ahead of full-scale production in November 2025. The 500 Hybrid looks nearly identical to the 500e, with a larger front opening and a fuel filler replacing the charging port. Inside, it retains the electric version’s design, including a two-spoke steering wheel, a 10.25-inch floating infotainment screen, and a Qi wireless charger. The most notable change is the addition of a manual gearlever, indicating the car will use a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine and a 12-volt belt-driven starter-generator, producing 70 PS and 92 Nm of torque. Despite the “Hybrid” label, electric assistance is expected to be minimal.

Chery has announced that the mid-large sedan Fengyun A9 will be renamed A9L, with real vehicle experiences starting at the end of May or early June, and full deliveries beginning at the end of June or early July. The A9L Founder’s Edition will be limited to an additional 10,000 units. The mid-size sedan E05 has been named Fengyun A9, with real vehicle experiences expected by the end of the year and deliveries starting in early 2026. The Fengyun A9 features a coupe-style design with pulling-through taillights and petal-shaped wheels, and offers a variety of interior configurations with both range-extender and pure electric powertrain options. The A9L features a traditional three-box design, with a larger body size and an axle distance of 3000mm, and is equipped with advanced driving assistance features.

The new Xpeng P7 (codenamed E29) teaser images have been released, positioning it as a mid-size pure electric sedan with a completely revamped exterior design. The front features pulling-through LED daytime running lights and a light-up logo, giving it a futuristic look. The side profile maintains a coupe-style fastback design with new hard lines and unique four-spoke wheels. The rear is equipped with an adjustable electric spoiler and pulling-through taillights, maintaining a cutting-edge style. Specifics on powertrain and intelligent driving features have yet to be disclosed, but it is expected to continue with pure electric propulsion.

Chery’s sub-brand iCaur has been launched in Malaysia with the first model, the 03, set to go on sale in Q3 2025. The brand has signed its first eleven dealer partners, with more expected to join. iCaur dealerships will operate independently from existing Chery or Jaecoo facilities. The 03 is now open for bookings with a fully refundable RM1,000 fee, and customers will receive a scale model of the 03 upon delivery. Available in two variants, the 03 offers a 2WD version with a 65.7-kWh LFP battery and 426 km NEDC range for RM145,000, and an iWD version with a 69.8-kWh battery and 418 km range for RM155,000. The 03 features the iRoad suite, a 12-speaker Infinity sound system, a 540-degree camera, a 15.6-inch touchscreen, a 9.2-inch digital cluster, and Level 2.5 ADAS. Another model, the 03T, a sportier and more premium version, is also planned for the market.
