Spy shots reveal BYD's first MPV for the Ocean Network, caught charging at a BYD ultra-fast charger. The front light signature clearly shows Ocean Network design language, though the overall profile differs significantly from the Ocean-V concept shown at the 2026 Beijing Auto Show, leaning toward a more traditional MPV style. Equipment includes a large grille, conventional door handles and a roof-mounted LiDAR. The Ocean-V concept was a five-seat MPV featuring a sliding center screen, 180-degree rotating seats, auto-retracting steering wheel, front-row screen extension, hidden tables and one-key bed mode – whether these carry over to the production model remains to be seen. Expected launch by year-end.

Spy shots reveal the Tank 700 long wheelbase version with largely unchanged styling but increased dimensions. Wheelbase grows 150mm to 3,150mm. The 2.0T variant wears a full black "Dark Warrior" exterior while the 3.0T gets bronze accents on wheels, front air intakes, roof trim and badging. Dimensions are 5,445×2,126×2,021mm, extending 340mm longer, 65mm wider and 36mm taller than the standard model. Interior mirrors the standard version with a three-spoke wheel, 12.3-inch LCD cluster and 15.6-inch floating center screen, featuring a six-seat layout with independent second-row seats and a folding third row. Powertrains include the 2.0T PHEV Hi4-Z (185kW, 59.05kWh ternary battery, 190km WLTP EV range) and the 3.0T PHEV six-cylinder (265kW).

The 2027 BAIC Arcfox αT5 official images are released with details improvements to exterior, interior and powertrain.

Interior gets a new three-spoke steering wheel, tidier center console with floating center screen and HUD, upgraded suede door panels, and front seat heating, ventilation and massage. The pure EV variant gets a new rear motor producing 227kW with 680km range. Reference price for current model is 113,800-158,800 yuan, and it will launch alongside the 2027 αS5.

Spy shots reveal a new Leapmotor SUV significantly larger than the C16, with extension concentrated between the C and D pillars to improve third-row space. The new model continues the C-series family design, likely to be named C16 LWB or C18 (~5 meters long). Interior largely mirrors the C16 with a dual-spoke steering wheel, small LCD instrument cluster and central island console. It uses an extended-range powertrain with rear motor and a five-link independent rear suspension, without aluminum lower control arms or air suspension.
