Wuling and Huawei's first flagship collaboration model, the Huajing S, has officially revealed its "Flame Gold" color variant on February 27. Built on the Tianyu Architecture L platform, the large six-seat PHEV SUV's experience vehicles have already rolled off the production line at SAIC-GM-Wuling's Intelligent Island Manufacturing System (I²MS) facility, marking entry into user experience and mass production preparation phases. The Flame Gold edition features a Maybach-inspired two-tone paint scheme with gold upper body and red lower section, complemented by a full-width star-ring light bar and L-shaped air curtains. Dimensions of 5,235/1,999/1,800mm and a 3,105mm wheelbase emphasize its flagship positioning.

Wuling has officially released images of the all-new Hongguang MINIEV (fifth generation). The vehicle features a refreshed design with closed grille, circular LED headlights, and a full-width star-ring light bar. Charging port is positioned below the front logo. The floating roof design comes with blacked-out mirrors and three color options. Measuring 3268/1520/1575mm with a 2190mm wheelbase, it adopts a four-door, four-seat layout for the first time. Since its 2020 debut, the MINIEV has accumulated over 1.9 million users.

The sixth-generation Honda CR-V has officially returned to the Japanese market more than three years after its global debut, following the discontinuation of the fifth-generation model due to low sales. The ZR-V had temporarily filled the market void. Japan-market CR-V is offered exclusively in e:HEV hybrid configuration with two trim levels: e:HEV RS (front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive) and the AWD-only RS Black Edition, priced from 5,122,700 to 5,779,400 yen (approximately RM128,000-144,000). Powertrain combines a 2.0L Atkinson-cycle petrol engine (148 PS/183 Nm) with dual electric motors, delivering 184 PS/335 Nm through an e-CVT. Honda Sensing is standard, with Black Edition adding front cross traffic alert and lane change assist. Features include 9-inch Honda Connect with Google built-in, 60W wireless charging, and Bose audio. Honda has set a modest monthly sales target of 400 units.

The 2026 Changan UNI-Z PHEV is scheduled for launch on February 28. As a model year update, the vehicle retains the Crossing all realms design language with a parametric flying wing grille and introduces a new "Moonlight Silver" finish. Dimensions remain at 4730/1890/1660mm with a 2795mm wheelbase. Interior features a 14.6-inch center display with Tianshu Smart OS and AI voice assistant, plus 50W wireless charging, zero-gravity seats, and L2 autonomous driving. Current model priced between 124,900-133,900 yuan.

Volvo has launched the 2026 model year EX30 compact electric SUV following yesterday's global recall of over 40,000 units. The update introduces a new entry-level rear-wheel-drive powertrain producing 150 PS (110 kW), paired with either 51 kWh (339 km WLTP) or 69 kWh (476 km) batteries—configurations previously introduced in Singapore to meet local COE requirements. Existing 272 PS single-motor and 428 PS twin-motor AWD variants continue. Key upgrades include a redesigned center display UX with customizable content bars and context-aware controls, plus new Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) external power functionality (adapter required in some markets) to be rolled out via OTA this summer. Interior additions comprise "Harvest" light-tone recycled textile and "Black" dark-theme options, alongside a new Black Edition with Onyx Black, Vapour Grey, and Crystal White exterior choices.

The third-generation Toyota Fortuner has been spotted testing in Thailand, featuring a new front end heavily inspired by the ninth-generation Hilux pickup, including slim headlights joined by a trim strip and a mesh grille. The prototype retains the outgoing model's body structure, doors, roof, and distinctive rear quarter panel "fin" on the IMV ladder-frame platform. Rear styling updates include sharper taillights with a connecting trim strip. Interior is expected to receive a complete overhaul with a new dashboard, Land Cruiser Prado switchgear, and up to 12.3-inch instrument and infotainment screens. Powertrain options should carry over the 204 PS/500 Nm 2.8L diesel and 163 PS/246 Nm 2.7L petrol engines, paired with six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. The Multi-Terrain System (MTS) with selectable drive modes and 360-degree camera with underfloor view are anticipated features.
