BMW's Neue Klasse X5 set to hit New Zealand in Q1 2027 in PHEV and EV flavours.
Chery is preparing to enter NZ’s luxury car market with Exlantix, with the brand’s first vehicles expected to arrive in 2027.
The Omoda X has been revealed as a tougher-looking crossover SUV from Omoda Jaecoo, though it has yet to be confirmed for a New Zealand launch.
Chery's iCaur brand, due here in 2027, says extended-range electric vehicles have key advantages over more common plug-in hybrids.
iCaur says diesel engines and utes aren’t in its current plans, while its leadership wants future SUVs to share more than the boxy styling of today’s lineup.
Luxon and Hipkins would both buy a Chinese EV, as Chinese brands expand their share of NZ’s growing electrified vehicle market.
The Freelander 8's chief engineer claims 2.15 million kilometres of all-terrain testing – matching or bettering luxury SUVs he previously worked on.
A US$440 million upgrade to the Chery-JLR factory in China supports Freelander's global rollout, with New Zealand on the launch list.
After working with Toyota on its first three electric vehicles, Subaru has revealed its first in-house EV platform under the body of an Outback wagon.
