The production version of the two-seat Smart #2 mini EV will be launched within 2026.

Both Mercedes-Benz and BMW have provided 2026 demand forecasts to their Chinese supply chains, with projections falling back to sales levels seen a decade ago.

Mercedes-Benz and Momenta have launched a robotaxi fleet based on the Mercedes S-Class sedan in Abu Dhabi, with plans to commence operations in 2026.

The Mercedes electric CLA overlaps significantly in price range with Tesla's Model 3 in China, offering a range of up to 866 km.

The electric CLA utilizes an 800-volt high-voltage electrical platform, and is one of the longest-range EV models in the Chinese market.

The driver-assist system jointly developed by Mercedes and Momenta will debut in the all-new locally produced, all-electric CLA model to be launched this fall.

The all-new Smart #2 will be produced in China and launched in China, Europe, and other overseas markets.

The move is seen as benefiting emerging domestic luxury EV models, while negatively impacting German models that dominate the market.

Beijing Benz is recalling 13,447 locally produced EQC vehicles starting September 27, 2025.

Some vehicles in the recall have fire risk due to battery reliability and control strategy issues in the battery management system software.
