The 4 is Polestar's first model built on Zeekr's SEA platform. The result is a car that's slightly less focused and precise, but one that's superior tech-wise.
Is it the most effective combination of Swedish beauty and Chinese tech? Link below👇

Seems those who have been given access to the #Xiaomi SU7 already are not the kind of people you should trust with your brand new motor. Yet another example of one being binned before deliveries even began has surfaced.

Just been to the foot of Banshan in Hangzhou to check out in person what's going on at these so-called car graveyards where supposedly brand new Chinese cars are being sent to die as some kind of incentive laundering scam.

It's such a shame that BMW have binned this car. Not only is it the most 2023-looking car they have but it's absolutely the most appropriate car for this century. Too smart and handsome to be culled without a replacement.

Potentially massive news if true, but this account states that Chery is in the final stages of acquiring Maserati from Stellantis.
Stellantis has been rumoured to be looking at offloading some brands and this could be the first domino.

First official images of the Zeekr 9X are out. Can see exactly why they call it the Hangzhou Bay Cullinan, it's got massive 'F-you' vibes. Huge chrome grille, edgy styling, big presence. If you like the 009, I think you'll like this.

This is your first look at the new Renault Twingo... before you're meant to see it.
Images of the new sub-£17,000 EV city car have leaked online ahead of the car’s reveal on 6 November.

Another day, another new Chery brand, this time spinning out their QQ model into a line of its own.
This is the QQ Qurio Concept, and it looks pretty neat, despite looking like the sloth from Zootopia.
A competitor for funky cars like the smart #1 on the face of things.

Boasting a max range of 835km (CLTC) and 0-100kph time of 3.23 seconds, the YU7 looks set to battle the Tesla Model Y for best-selling EV SUV in China.

Well that was fast. This image sadly represents what seems to be left of Jiyue's hopes of survival, which will make my 07 review likely the last ever recorded of this brilliant car. They're basically all but confirmed as being the next Chinese auto brand on the scrap heap. Shame.

Just reading that the Denza Z9 has apparently completed the Elk test at 93.6kph. If the official Elk test guys test that and prove it to be true, it won't just beat, it'll utterly annihilate the 25-year old record of 85kph set by *checks notes* the Citroen Xantia. 🤯

Sugar Design has been doing his thing again, taking spyshots of an XPeng-based VW and making it production-ready.
Fair to say this would easily become the most attractive VW you can buy today without any competition. It appears to be based on the new P7 looking at that A-pillar.

Tesla is NOT the biggest loser from BYD's announcement.
Every so-called "expert" is chiming in with this narrative and it's wrong.
The losers are Toyota, VW, Nissan, the mainstream brands in China that can't even offer highway autonomous driving on very average products.

Corrected:
If this data is correct, and generally these guys are pretty accurate, extrapolated to a 30 day month and boosted a little for end of month growth, Tesla might be down at around 29,000 China sales in April, a 63% MoM drop, and 8% YoY.
