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).

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.

Spy shots reveal the Bentley Bentayga X production model. The off-road variant departs from the current model's road-focused design with raised ride height and enhanced off-road equipment. It retains signature quad-round headlights, with a larger front camera module suggesting binocular ADAS. Blacked-out window trim, waist line and fender accents, plus rally-style wheels with off-road tires give it a rugged look. Air suspension with "off-road specific" labeling allows ride height adjustment. Power comes from a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 (650HP/850Nm) with 8AT, AWD, 0-100km/h in 3.6s, 310km/h top speed and 48V mild hybrid system.
