The Range Rover Electric is under development, featuring a 117kWh battery pack developed in-house by Jaguar Land Rover. The battery consists of 344 prismatic cells within an 800-volt architecture. The SUV will also include single-pedal driving mode, Terrain Response system, and ThermAssist thermal management to reduce energy consumption by up to 40%. The chassis and Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) system are being optimized for authentic Range Rover handling and improved traction on low-grip surfaces.

Spy shots of the new Denza N8 (likely to be named N8L) have been revealed. The new model is expected to share the same design language and technology as the Denza N9, rather than the discontinued Denza N8. The front features the latest Denza family design with “L”-shaped headlights and a trapezoidal closed grille, along with a wide air intake and roof-mounted lidar. The rear is highly similar to the Denza N9, with slim dual-layer taillights and a license plate relocated to the bumper. Powertrain-wise, it will likely feature a 2.0T plug-in hybrid system with a maximum engine power of 152 kW and a total power of 680 kW from three motors. The CLTC electric range is 202 km, with a combined range of 1302 km and a fuel consumption of 6.3 L/100 km in charge-depleting mode.

The Toyota bZ4X has been renamed to Toyota bZ and received a major overhaul. The exterior design is more streamlined, featuring split headlights and a C-shaped pulling-through daytime running light. The front fascia angles and rear spoiler have been enhanced. The interior features a flatter dashboard with a 14-inch touchscreen and wireless charging. The new bZ offers larger battery packs with a maximum range of 505 km and upgraded motor power outputs ranging from 170 to 343 hp, with a 0-100 km/h acceleration time as fast as 4.9 seconds. The vehicle also comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.

The BYD e7 is set to launch on May 17th, positioned as a mid-size electric sedan with a focus on cost-effectiveness. The exterior features a new design language with a closed grille and an "X"-shaped vent, along with sleek headlights and a Penetrating taillights. The vehicle measures 4780/1900/1515 mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2820 mm. The interior includes a full-LED instrument panel, a small central screen, and a column-mounted gearshift. The car is powered by a 100 kW single motor, with battery options of 48 kWh and 57.6 kWh, offering CLTC ranges of 450 km and 520 km respectively.

The new Fiat 500 Hybrid has been spied with a design that closely follows the electric Fiat 500e, featuring a redesigned front grille for hybrid compatibility. The interior includes a larger square storage compartment and a side-mounted gearshift. Expected to feature a 1.0L three-cylinder engine with a hybrid system and a six-speed manual transmission, production is slated for Q4 this year.
