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).

Porsche unveiled the Mission S concept at the Queens pier in New York, the same location where the 550 Spyder was first photographed in 1953. As part of the 'Sportwagenschmiede '35' strategic realignment, the Mission S previews the brand's evolved design identity – authentic, consequent and timeless. The exterior features signature torpedo fenders, iconic flyline roofline and dramatic width-to-height ratio, drawing inspiration from the 911, 917, 959 and GT1. The mid-engine architecture enables Porsche's characteristic flyline. Inside, a driver-focused philosophy returns with five iconic round gauges with analog needles that reposition based on drive mode. A retractable MagSafe smartphone system replaces fixed center and passenger displays. Porsche confirms development of a new mid-engined super sports car platform positioned permanently above the 911 – not a limited hypercar but a permanent addition to the lineup.

Following the "launch" of Proton's new AMA02 A-segment SUV (rumoured Saga Cross or X30) camouflage mules last week, many attempted to unwrap the car using AI. However, professional car designer Theophilus Chin created a render that far exceeds typical AI unmasking, carefully studying design lines and referencing the brand's existing cues. His render shows a front end reminiscent of the pre-facelift Honda HR-V in headlight and grille shape, plus Perodua's signature hexagonal grille and 'X' face. The profile features a prominent shoulder line above the front and rear wheels, with a black element on the rearmost pillars creating a floating roof effect conducive to two-tone color schemes. The rear has a full-width LED strip above the Proton script, with the number plate recess following the X50 facelift's lead. The render's stance is notably better than the ungainly mules seen so far.
