The Buick Enspire concept has been revealed ahead of the 2018 Beijing motor show, which kicks off next week.
Although Buick is yet to provide full details about the Enspire's electric drivetrain, we know it generates a total of 410kW of power. That's reportedly good for a 0-60mph (0-97km/h) time of 4.0 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz has published a teaser for a luxurious new concept car headed to the Beijing motor show later this month.
Posted to the company's global Facebook page, the 22-second clip captioned "luxury at its finest" shows the interior of a Maybach-branded car with futuristic cabin styling elements.
Catering to the tastes of the Chinese market, there's lashings of chrome and rose gold throughout the cockpit, though it's not entirely clear what form this vehicle will take.
Buick will use the an event before the Beijing motor show to reveal an all-electric crossover concept, dubbed the Enspire.
It's just a teaser at the moment, but the Enspire looks to be a slinky, smooth-edged continuation of the formula laid out by the Avenir (2015) and Avista (2016).
Where those cars were designed by General Motors global teams – with a strong Australian influence – for American tastes, the Enspire is aimed squarely at the burgeoning Chinese market.
The rumoured Audi SQ2 has been spied on the snowy roads of Europe this week, completely devoid of camouflage.
Based on the Q2 small SUV, the SQ2 is expected to feature the same running gear as the Audi S3 and Volkswagen Golf R, teaming a 200+kW 2.0-litre turbo four with the company's quattro all-wheel drive system.
