Lexus looks set to go head-to-head with Mercedes-Benz in the luxury van space, teasing the LM – its "fifth flagship product" – ahead of its debut in Shanghai next week. Based on its silhouette, the LM appears to be based on the Toyota Alphard minivan offered overseas. Lexus says it's a "new style of MPV that is connected to the minds of drivers and passengers".

Great Wall has continued to the gradual drip-feed of details about its upcoming replacement for the Steed dual-cab, revealing its upmarket interior. There's quilted leather in there, for crying out loud. The cabin you see here won't feature in the rough and tumble Adventure model revealed last week. Instead, the luxurious-looking finish pictured will be reserved for the 'Urban' model.

Photographers have snapped images of the new Audi Q2 L e-tron, destined to hit the Chinese market later this year. Audi recently confirmed the EV version of its long-wheelbase small SUV (oxymoron, we know) in Geneva last month when it revealed the e-tron Sportback prototype and hinted at its upcoming electrification plans.

Audi has teased an autonomous concept car for the Shanghai motor show, continuing the theme laid out by last year's Aicon and Elaine show cars. Based on the sketches you see here, the AI:ME is a smaller interpretation of the autonomous design language debuted on the two concepts mentioned earlier. The nose has a similar scowling look, while the rear is pert and upright.

Chevrolet China has released a shadowy teaser image for the new Tracker and Trailblazer SUVs, ahead of a full unveiling at Auto Shanghai in the coming weeks. Not much has been divulged in the company's press release, though it has confirmed the names for both new models, and that both vehicles will "adopt GM's latest propulsion, intelligent connectivity and safety technologies".
