Mercedes-AMG unveiled the AMG GT SUV at its 140th anniversary celebration in Stuttgart – the brand's first native pure EV high-performance SUV since becoming independent, built on the exclusive AMG.EA platform. Positioned as a mid-to-large pure EV high-performance SUV, it directly targets the Porsche Cayenne Turbo Electric, with global deliveries starting in early 2027. Three variants are offered: GT 63, GT 55 and GT 53. The GT 63 and GT 55 use three axial-flux motors (1 front, 2 rear) producing a combined 860kW (1,169HP) with ~2,000Nm torque, achieving 0-100km/h in ~2.5s and 0-200km/h in 6.8s at 270km/h top speed. Battery options are 106kWh and 128kWh with 800V architecture delivering up to 700km WLTP range, and 710kW charging adds 450km in just 10 minutes.

Jetta's new all-electric mid-size sedan M6 is set to launch on Oct 22 with limited pre-sale range 80,800-99,800 yuan. Built on Jiesi EV architecture with 0.208 drag coefficient, it delivers maximum 555km CLTC range, equipped with Horizon Robotics Journey 6M chip to support urban NOA, making it a rare 100,000-yuan EV with high-level ADAS.

The camouflaged BMW iX7 has been spotted at the Nürburgring conducting dynamic performance and durability testing, with its debut expected in 2027. Despite not adopting the Neue Klasse pure EV platform, the iX7 remains CLAR-based and won't feature the closed-off front face seen on the new iX3 and iX5. It carries over the split-headlight design of the X7 while gaining new-generation body surfacing and electric hidden door handles. The iX7 will nonetheless get the latest cockpit and powertrain, expected to share motor configurations with the iX5 for 578HP in dual-motor form, with a higher-positioned M-branded performance variant possible. A larger battery exceeding 110kWh is also anticipated for improved long-distance range.

The 2027 Geely Binyue Super Edition is scheduled to launch on October 27 with current price range 66,800-78,800 yuan. It features new storm-style vertical grille, upgraded cabin with floating central screen and Flyme Auto infotainment, standard 540° panoramic camera, retaining 1.5L NA engine mated to 5MT and 8-speed simulated CVT.

A Facebook user filmed a camouflaged SUV in the Klang Valley, identified as the XPeng L05. The L05 is larger than the G6, measuring 4,870×1,930×1,363mm with a 2,940mm wheelbase, using the same design language as the L03 with T-shaped headlights and full-width taillight. Power options include pure EV and range-extender, both RWD. The EV produces 249PS/280Nm with 0-100km/h in 6.8s; the 58.2kWh battery delivers 535km CLTC range while the 71.1kWh pack offers 635km CLTC. The REEV has a 37.2kWh battery for 310km pure EV range plus a 1.5L NA engine and 42L tank for 1,310km combined range. It uses 3C charging, not 800V. The interior has no dedicated instrument cluster, just a 17.3-inch infotainment screen and 26.8-inch HUD. The EV version is expected to arrive in Malaysia first, with the REEV possibly following later.
