Chinese Cars Go From 'Announced' To 'On The Road' Very Quickly

2 days ago | insideevs.com | Kevin Williams

The Aito M8 is a mid-sized three-row EREV (extended range electric vehicle) premium crossover. The Aito M8 was officially unveiled in March for Chinese consumers, but it's already on Huawei showroom floors. The M8 starts at just under $50,000 in China. They call it “China Speed.”This can refer to a lot of things: the Chinese auto industry's short development cycles, or how quickly new models can show up, or just how quickly they can add new tech via over-the-air software updates, like Deepseek AI.
Mercedes-Benz Vision V Previews A Very Important People Carrier

2 days ago | insideevs.com | Andrei Nedelea

Mercedes' Vision V design study previews an opulent new luxury people carrier. It looks bold and futuristic inside and out, but the interior's retro-futuristic look steals the show. The toned-down production version of this concept debuts next year. While in Stuttgart a few months back to see the Vision V concept, I asked Mercedes-Benz representatives whether it was like a V-Class or something else. They replied that it’s more like an S-Class, which seemed a bit unusual given the “V” in its name.

3 days ago | insideevs.com | Andrei Nedelea

BYD is reportedly doing what no other non-Japanese automaker has ever done: it's working on a kei car. The new model will be electric and arrive in Japan in 2026. The BYD kei model targets a lower starting price than Japan's most popular EV, the Nissan Sakura. Japan’s electric vehicle market fell 33% in 2024 from an already low baseline. But China's BYD still saw sales growth in the country.
Nissan Wants Its Own City EV For Europe

3 days ago | insideevs.com | Andrei Nedelea

Nissan wants its own interpretation of the Renault Twingo and Dacia Spring EVs in Europe. Like the Dacia, the new Nissan EV will have a shorter-than-usual development process. It will reportedly be revealed in 2026. Renault’s revived electric Twingo is one of our most hotly anticipated European EVs and it looks like it’s going to have not one but two sister models.
The Tesla Model Y Gets Tough Competition From The BYD Sealion 7

4 days ago | insideevs.com | Andrei Nedelea

The Chinese-made BYD Sealion 7 is a direct Tesla Model Y rival in Europe and a viable alternative. It offers a more traditional design and experience than the more futuristic Tesla. The Tesla outperforms it in every single metric, and it's cheaper too. BYD has big ambitions to expand its presence in Europe, and one of the pillars of this expansion is its Tesla Model Y rival.
Driving The Zeekr 7X In Europe Shows Things Will Never Be The Same Again

6 days ago | insideevs.com | Andrei Nedelea

If you want to understand the areas where Chinese electric vehicles shine, look no further than the Zeekr 7X. It is designed in Europe and tailored to European tastes, but it's built in China by one of the world's largest automakers. It's good enough that the established players on the continent should be really worried. The 7X is a midsize SUV with a total length of 190 inches (4.82 meters) and a long 115-inch (2.92-meter) wheelbase, meaning it’s marginally larger than a Tesla Model Y.

Volkswagen is putting the finishing touches on a range of new affordable EVs that it wants to sell in Europe.
China Is Cracking Down On Misleading Driver Assistance Marketing

1 week ago | insideevs.com | Kevin Williams

China's MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) has put out new rules for the marketing and implementation of driver assistance features and over-the-air updates. Automakers in China are no longer allowed to market cars with terms like "autonomous, intelligent or automatic" driving instead of the SAE level designations used around the world. This comes after a high-profile fatal crash in China involving a Xiaomi SU7 using its NOA (navigate on autopilot) feature.
Tesla's Brand Loyalty Is Crashing Harder Than Its Stock

1 week ago | insideevs.com | Rob Stumpf

Tesla brand loyalty is crumbling. Trade-ins of Teslas increased 250% year-over-year nationwide in March. Used prices are expected to begin to cave to increased supply in the coming months. What would you do if your favorite burger joint fired its kitchen staff, turned into a salad bar where you can only pay with crypto, and started playing that same song (you know the one) that everyone hates on repeat?
Hyundai's Tariff Strategy: 'Sell Like Hell'

1 week ago | insideevs.com | Rob Stumpf

The current state of the auto industry feels a lot like a scene from The Office—automakers are putting on a brave face while trying to hide the fact that they secretly shaking in their boots over tariffs. I'll tell you this much: Hyundai is pulling off the brave act so well that I'm wondering if it's an act at all. The South Korean carmaker exudes all kinds of confidence that it'll pull through with just a flesh wound.
