Fang Cheng Bao's first sedan, codenamed "Magnesium 9", is set for a 2026 launch. The coupe-style EV features a closed grille, oval headlights, slip-back roof and hidden handles, plus a roof-mounted LiDAR for advanced ADAS. Dual powertrains—pure electric and DMO PHEV—are expected, with an estimated price range of RMB 200-300k, positioning it against rivals like the Xiaomi SU7 and Zeekr 001 .

New spy shots reveal a heavily camouflaged BYD SUV bearing Yuan badges on wheels and steering wheel, hinting at a “Yuan MAX” slot. The model keeps Dragon Face cues, adopts semi-flush door handles and a stretched C-pillar, pushing length toward 4.7 m and wheelbase beyond 2 720 mm—positioning it between Yuan PLUS and Song Pro in BYD’s expanding SUV line-up.

A newly published BYD patent describes a post-impact control strategy: once a crash is detected, drive and steering motors instantly counteract impact torque to keep the front wheels straight, preventing steering-wheel snatch and secondary accidents. By leveraging electrification for passive safety, the system complements airbags and high-strength steel, and could later integrate with ADAS to guide the damaged vehicle toward a slightly safer trajectory.

Xpeng’s 2026 P7+ global variant—104 upgrades over the China-only base—will hit 36 markets. The 5,071 mm-long sedan offers 800-V EV (5C charge, 725 km CLTC) and class-leading REEV (430 km electric + 1,550 km total) powertrains. Fresh cues: one-piece light bar, Y-spoke 20-inch alloys, 29-inch AR-HUD, zero-gravity passenger seat and three Turing AI chips delivering 2,250 TOPS for city/highway NOP. While Malaysia’s CKD list already covers G6 and X9, the P7+ could join future local-assembly slots D02/D03.

JLR’s 2026 roadmap confirms six debuts, headlined by the first-ever Range Rover EV. Built on MLA-Flex, the 117 kWh pack drives dual motors for 550 PS and 531 km WLTP range via 800 V architecture. Facelifted Range Rover and Sport gain a 12-inch standalone climate touchscreen, while an electric Velar joins the line-up, accelerating Land Rover’s full electrification push.

Mercedes-Benz will unveil the VLE on March 10, 2026, in Stuttgart. Riding on the new 800-volt VAN.EA architecture, the model replaces both V-Class and EQV, blending limousine comfort with MPV versatility. Up to eight seats, 116 kWh battery and around 500 km WLTP range are expected, while exterior cues from the Vision V concept—star-pattern lamps, light bar and perforated grille—carry over to production.
