Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda has publicly admitted feeling "very alone" in defending combustion engines against the industry's EV rush. His comments come as multiple rivals quietly walk back their own EV roadmaps. The shift is real.
BYD Australia has confirmed an Australia-specific model is coming later in 2026. The most likely candidate is a monocoque ute that could complement or extend the Shark 6 lineup. The brand is targeting Australian buyer preferences head-on.
BYD has teased its new flagship Great Han luxury sedan with up to 1008km of range, second-gen Blade battery tech and 1500kW Flash charging. The Australian arrival is unconfirmed but the brand's local sales momentum makes a case for it.
GWM's new Ora 5 small electric SUV has touched down in Australia priced from $33,990 driveaway. With nearly 3,000 expressions of interest already lodged, dealers are about to get busy. Here is what to ask before signing.
Lotus CEO Feng Qingfeng publicly declared any sports car over 1.8 tonnes "mediocre," then forgot two of his own cars weigh well over 2.4 tonnes. The Chinese internet noticed. The real signal here is about the incoming Type 135 supercar.
BYD Australia has signed a three-year deal making Pickles its exclusive auction partner for fleet vehicle remarketing. The first auctions open on June 9. For private buyers, this is the clearest signal yet on where used BYD prices actually sit.
Ford's head of internal combustion and EV business units has openly speculated about expanding the Mustang family beyond coupe and convertible. A four-door Mustang is no longer a forum rumour. The question now is whether Australian buyers get it.

Leapmotor has added a range-extender hybrid version of its B10 small SUV to the lineup, promising 900km total range and 0.9L/100km combined fuel use when charged. Pricing starts at $37,888 plus on-road costs and the launch offers are aggressive.
Mazda is trialling biodiesel between two Japanese facilities. The implications for popular Australian Mazda diesel models like the BT-50 ute and the CX-60, CX-70, CX-80 and CX-90 are real, even if the path to local adoption is long.
BMW has confirmed a 2028 launch for the iX5 Hydrogen fuel cell SUV. New hydrogen storage fits the Neue Klasse platform, delivering 750km of range with five-minute refills. The fuel cell story keeps getting more credible.
Geely says its new Emgrand i-HEV sedan hits 2.22L/100km on the highway, beats the Toyota Prius on efficiency, and runs the world's most thermally efficient hybrid drivetrain at 48.41 per cent. Whether Australia gets it is another question.
