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.

The European Union has revised its additional tariffs on electric vehicles manufactured in China, with brands such as Tesla experiencing a decrease in rates. Tesla's tariff rate has been reduced from 20.8% to 7.8%, and Geely's rate has also seen a reduction. This adjustment could influence the competitiveness of Chinese electric vehicles in the European market. China has welcomed the EU's decision and expressed its willingness to resolve trade disputes through dialogue and consultation.

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 Haval Mǎlóng fuel version has made its debut, featuring a new rugged design with a vertical grille and square headlights, giving it a distinct American-style SUV look. The vehicle measures 4800 (4680) × 1950/1822 (1843) mm in length and width, with a wheelbase of 2738 mm. The interior includes a new two-spoke steering wheel, a large floating screen, physical air conditioning controls, and a column-mounted gearshift. It is powered by a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 175 kW, paired with a 9-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The new model is expected to hit the market soon.

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.
