Expect a huge range of EVs to be displayed, including concepts by Honda, Nissan, Smart, Polestar, XPeng and BYD.

Auto Shanghai, an event that has been taking place since 1985, is set to showcase new releases from global brands like Polestar, Porsche, and Smart, as well as from Chinese carmakers such as BYD and Xpeng when it returns on April 18. One of the new releases that will be unveiled is the Nissan Max-Out Concept, an electric two-seater drop-top that will make its official debut in China as part of Nissan’s commitment to developing sustainable and innovative mobility. The car is expected to use Nissan’s solid-state battery technology and boasts a unique design with a large open-air intake at the front, a lightbar at the rear, and a set of unique alloys. Nissan claims that the Max-Out promises to deliver a new driving experience with its superior stability, comfort, and tight handling.

Aside from the Nissan Max-Out, visitors can also expect to see two concepts from Nissan that preview China-only production cars, both of which will feature all-electric and e-POWER powertrains. Another car to look out for is the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV, which will come with the Maybach ultra-luxury sub-brand’s signature two-tone paintwork and bespoke interior upgrades, making it worthy of “first-class” accommodation. The SUV will be powered by two electric motors producing 650bhp and 700lb ft and offer a range of approximately 373 miles (600km).

Other notable releases at Auto Shanghai include the Smart #3, a new electric SUV that marks the next stage in Smart’s electric revolution; the Polestar 4, a rakish sporting crossover that will rival the Porsche Macan; and BYD’s new five-seat SUV, the first piece in the firm’s new F model line. Xpeng’s G6, a mid-size electric crossover with a minimalist design, is expected to go on sale in front- and four-wheel drive guises with outputs ranging between 208bhp and 292bhp, and will be sold in selected European countries from 2024. Finally, the X, the third production model from Geely-owned Chinese firm Zeekr, is an electric crossover that aims to double Zeekr’s sales to more than 140,000 this year and is likely to share powertrains with the Smart #1 and forthcoming Volvo EX30.

Driven by a new round of energy transformation and industrial revolution, a new era of automobile industry is
unfolding. To achieve the goals of energy conservation, emission reduction and carbon neutrality, countries
around the world are accelerating the planning of new energy systems and vigorously promoting the
innovation of new energy technologies for automobiles. Chinese and global automotive leaders are actively
embracing new industrial opportunities such as green, low-carbon transformation and smart mobility,
pursuing technological empowerment and innovation-driven development, and promoting the coordinated
development of new business models and new technologies so as to meet the needs of high-quality
development of the automobile industry. China is confidently stepping to the center of the world stage and
toward the future of automotive power.

Standing at a new beginning, with the theme of “Embracing the New Era of Automobile industry”, the 20th
Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition (Auto Shanghai 2023) will celebrate its new edition
once again. We will further explore the implementation path of low-carbon transformation of the automobile
industry; Stay more focused on building an exchange and cooperation platform to optimize the distribution
of industrial chain and supply chain; Show more directly the visual impact brought by the integration of
automobile culture and fashion elements; Make more effort to build an automobile industry ecosystem
driven by technological innovation and integrated innovation. This ecosystem will connect the world and
collaborate across the field, so that the world automobile industry will once again show full vitality on the
stage of Auto Shanghai. Cutting-edge scientific concepts such as artificial intelligence and metaverse will be
introduced to the show to demonstrate the infinite possibilities that future cars may bring to people’s lives.
Let us empower growth, build up momentum and move forward. In Shanghai, April 2023, we look forward to
joining hand with you to embrace the new era, forge ahead on a new journey and build the future together!
