At Beijing auto show, Chinese carmakers flaunt new technologies as global competition heats up

More than 1,400 vehicles are on display as Chinese brands highlight AI, robotics and charging speeds to defend market share abroad.

  • The world's biggest car show opened Friday in Beijing with more than 1,400 vehicles on display, spanning 380,000 square metres across two venues as Chinese brands dominated the event's mega stages.
  • Legacy automakers like Volkswagen, Toyota, and BMW have lost market share to domestic firms in past years, prompting foreign brands to increasingly collaborate with Chinese companies to integrate local technology.
  • Cadillac announced its first Chinese-market electric SUV, the VISTIQ, featuring driver-assist technology co-developed with Momenta, while Hyundai launched its IONIQ brand Friday as the automaker's market share fell from 17% to 4%.
