The three-piece removable roof and detachable doors maintain the model's off-road versatility. Interior equipment includes a 12-inch central touchscreen powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chipset, running Ford SYNC+ connectivity with CarPlay support and specialized off-road information display. A manual transfer case enables two-wheel-drive and low-range four-wheel-drive selection, while the washable interior flooring with drain plugs underscores its rugged capability.

Following its Indian market debut, the 2026 Honda City facelift has been unveiled for Thailand, introducing both sedan and hatchback body styles—the latter not offered in India. The Thai market is currently in pre-launch phase with pre-orders open until June 30, 2026, and official pricing to be announced on July 1. Four grades are available: 1.0 Turbo S CVT, e:HEV V, e:HEV SV, and e:HEV RS, with the 1.0L VTEC Turbo three-cylinder engine (122PS/173Nm) exclusive to the entry-level S variant paired with a CVT, while hybrid powertrains equip the remaining grades. The e:HEV system utilizes a 1.5L Atkinson-cycle engine (98PS/127Nm) combined with a 109PS/253Nm electric traction motor and 1.0kWh lithium-ion battery. With rapid sequential launches in India and Thailand, anticipation builds for the model's introduction to the Malaysian market.

SAIC Volkswagen has announced its vehicle lineup for the Greater Bay Area Auto Show, with the Passat ePro and Tiguan L ePro scheduled for launch on May 29 and the ID. ERA 5S sedan making its official debut. The Passat ePro features refined exterior styling with a cleaner, more premium aesthetic, powered by a 1.5T EVOII dedicated hybrid engine paired with an electric motor and TQ251 transmission, delivering 1,468km CLTC combined range and 3.6L/100km fuel consumption under depleted battery conditions. The Tiguan L ePro adopts an electrified sporty front fascia with Slim Line intelligent LED headlamps and wing-span full-width tail lamps, featuring luxury cloud-comfort seats and the same 1.5T hybrid powertrain achieving 1,423km combined range and 4.33L/100km consumption, with three energy modes: pure electric, intelligent hybrid, and battery hold. The ID. ERA 5S represents Volkswagen's first global sedan equipped with urban NOA advanced intelligent driving, featuring "Xingyun" ADAS and "Yunqi" intelligent cockpit. Measuring 4,836×1,880×1,505 mm with a 2,766 mm wheelbase, the fastback sedan incorporates a 1.5T plug-in hybrid system with 77kW engine net output and 130kW peak motor power.

BYD Group has confirmed its next global model, the Fangchengbao Tai 7 seven-seater SUV, will be exported under the main BYD brand as the Ti7—unlike the Tai 3, which becomes the Denza B3 overseas. Already on sale in the Middle East and headed to the UK, the Ti7 shares design cues with its Bao 5 and Bao 8 stablemates including an upright body, wraparound glasshouse, rectangular split headlights with L-shaped DRLs, chunky squared wheel arches, and a 32.5-litre external storage box mimicking a spare tyre. However, the Ti7 eschews the rugged body-on-frame chassis for a road-biased unibody structure. Power comes from a DM-p hybrid setup featuring a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 156PS and 225Nm, supplemented by dual electric motors delivering a combined 489PS and 630Nm to all four wheels. This enables 0-100km/h acceleration in 4.8 seconds, with two Blade LFP battery options available including a 26.6kWh variant.
