Xiaomi President Lu Weibing revealed during a recent earnings call that Europe will be the first overseas market for Xiaomi's electric vehicles (EVs) in 2027. This follows previous intentions to sell EVs overseas without specifying a market. A photo of an SU7 Ultra with a German license plate posted by Lu last month hinted at this move. In Q2 2025, Xiaomi reported a total revenue increase of 30.5% YoY to 116 billion yuan, with innovative businesses, including EVs and AI, generating 21.3 billion yuan, a 233.9% YoY increase. Despite an operating loss of 300 million yuan in these businesses, it is down from the 500 million yuan loss in Q1. Xiaomi delivered 81,302 EVs in Q2 2025, up from 75,869 units in Q1. Since the launch of its first EV, the SU7, in March 2024, Xiaomi has seen consistent growth, with cumulative deliveries now exceeding 300,000 units. The company also highlighted that its first SUV, the YU7, achieved 240,000 locked-in orders within 18 hours of opening order books and currently operates 335 EV sales centers across 92 cities in China.

Proton is set to launch the 2025 Saga upgrade, which has been spotted multiple times on Malaysian roads for testing. The latest spy photos reveal that the upgraded Saga will feature LED headlights with Projector technology to focus the high-intensity LED light and avoid dazzling other road users. The tail lights will also be upgraded to LED, with a design inspired by the S70, offering a more prominent appearance when lit at night. According to unofficial information, the upgraded Saga will retain the existing chassis with significant enhancements, replacing the 1.3L CamPro four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a 1.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine from Geely. The vehicle will offer both CVT and traditional automatic transmission options, with CVT likely available only on higher-tier models.
