THE ONLY AUTO SHOW THAT MATTERS: 2025 SHANGHAI AUTO SHOW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Shanghai Auto Show coverage by Wheelsboy highlights a dynamic Chinese automotive market, showcasing a range of innovative debuts. The BYD Seal 06 DMI wagon is noted for its practicality and focus on foreign markets, contrasting with its all-electric GT sibling. Denza's Z sports car concept is a standout, praised for its sporty design, innovative folding steering wheel, and new DUS M magnetic rheological suspension, addressing a perceived lack of sports cars in China. Yangwang's U8L extends the U8 SUV's appeal to families with a longer, three-row configuration. Zeekr's 9X (Hjo Cullen) makes a bold statement with its Rolls-Royce Cullinan-inspired design and powerful hybrid powertrain. The Envo L90 SUV targets the large SUV segment with a practical frunk and battery-swapping capability. Huawei and JAC's S800 sedan showcases luxury and advanced technology with its substantial size and Huawei's driver assistance systems. Hongchi's unnamed off-road concept offers classic styling and hybrid power. MG updates the Cybster and teases the boxy Cyber X concept, hinting at pop-up headlights and new architectures. The video also touches on the popularity of the Sous7, with other brands mimicking its style, and the modernized M817 from M Hero. Finally, the Mazda EZ60 SUV, built on a Chinese platform, is presented as a stylish, albeit China-exclusive, new energy vehicle. The overall impression of the show is one of significant innovation, particularly in electrification and advanced driver assistance, though perhaps more subdued in crowd energy compared to previous years.
