The exterior features an upright grille with vertical bars, boxy and rugged styling close to the Q8 e-tron design language. At 5,310mm long, 2,210mm wide, and 3,140mm wheelbase, it surpasses the BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS as the largest among the German trio. It features curved digital OLED taillights supporting night light shows and traffic information projection. Standard 7-seat with optional 6-seat, with generous third-row space. Over 1.5 square meters of panoramic glass roof with optional 9-zone electronic dimming and 30-color ambient lighting that automatically turns opaque when parked. Equipped with powered doors with anti-collision sensors.

On July 29, the Ora 5 Sport Edition was spotted in real form. The new model features a two-tone exterior design with a dedicated black-and-yellow interior. According to the brand, the Ora 5 Sport Edition targets urban fashion while the Ora 5 GT focuses on handling and sport performance. The Sport Edition continues the brand's fashionable design language, meeting young users' aesthetic needs with its two-tone body and sport-oriented interior, further completing Ora's compact car market portfolio.

Mercedes-Benz has released more teasers of the new G-Class Cabriolet, with the AMG G63 getting its top down for the very first time. Notably, this is the first time a four-door cabriolet version is being offered. Previous W460, W461, and W463 chassis variants were two-door only (there was never a soft-top for the second-gen W463 introduced in 2018), with the exception of the ultra-exclusive Maybach G650 Landaulet of which only 99 were built. With the roof folded, a beefy crossmember is visible to allow the W465 to survive a rollover.

The all-new Kia Seltos has been officially revealed as a second-generation model, featuring comprehensive upgrades across exterior, intelligence, space experience, powertrain, and technology, planned to open pre-sale on August 13. The exterior continues the Opposites United design philosophy, featuring a wide grille with longitudinal texture, paired with Kia's signature Star-Map LED lighting and a wide sporty front bumper, creating a wide and rugged stance. As Kia's entry-level SUV, the Seltos aims to compete in the segment with comprehensively upgraded product strength.

After seven years on the market, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the AMG A45 S Final Edition, marking not only the swan song of the W177-generation A45 but the final dance for the entire ICE-powered A45 lineup, with the brand confirming there will be no future A45 models with internal combustion engines. To commemorate the end of the A45 line, the Final Edition features the AMG Aerodynamics package including front and rear spoilers and a rear wing, plus the AMG Night package for a full blacked-out exterior. Available only in gray and black, it sports yellow-accented "45 S" decals and trim. Inside, headrests feature embroidered "45 S" lettering with yellow stitching throughout the cabin and AMG badges highlighting its final-edition status.

Omoda, under Chery Group, has debuted the Omoda 4 EV in Indonesia—the B-segment pure electric SUV's first official appearance in Southeast Asia, signaling its future entry into the regional market. Internationally known as the Omoda C4, Malaysia's Omoda Jaecoo earlier surveyed local consumers about this B-segment SUV, suggesting the petrol-powered Omoda C4 may also come to Malaysia. The Omoda 4 EV measures 4,420×1,870×1,570mm with a 2,700mm wheelbase, larger than the similarly positioned Jaecoo J5 EV. It features a front-mounted motor producing 218PS (160kW)/275Nm, 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds, 170km/h top speed, with a 65.05kWh battery delivering 553km NEDC or 470km WLTP range.
