The 2025 Chengdu Motor Show will officially open on August 29. This edition of the Chengdu Motor Show will bring together nearly 120 automobile brands, with over 1,600 vehicles on display. It also covers industries such as three – electric systems, modified cars, and humanoid robots.
To help everyone better understand which high – profile new cars will be at this year’s Chengdu Motor Show, Dianchetong has specifically summarized the new energy vehicles worth seeing in each exhibition hall.
Without further ado, let’s get started.

The brands in Hall 1 are quite diverse, but in general, there are only three main brands: Great Wall, Toyota, and 212.
Among them, Wei brand, Haval, Tank, Ora, Great Wall Cannon, and Linghun under the Great Wall Motor Group are all here. If we talk about the most popular models in the group, they should be the Wei brand Gaoshan 7 and the new – model Tank 500, which will be launched on August 27.
Compared with the already – launched Gaoshan 8 and Gaoshan 9, the Gaoshan 7 is positioned slightly lower. However, its body size is the same as the standard version of the old – model Wei brand Gaoshan. With a body length of over 5 meters and a wheelbase of over 3 meters, and a seven – seat layout, it is very suitable for long – distance family trips. Moreover, features like the “refrigerator, large – screen TV, and comfortable sofa”, as well as the Coffee Pilot Ultra assisted driving system, Coffee OS 3 intelligent operating system, and Hi4, the brand’s signature technologies, are all present. And the price will be a bit lower than the Gaoshan 8, which starts at 309,800 yuan.

The new – model Tank 500 has started pre – sales, with a pre – sale price range of 360,000 – 388,800 yuan. All the information about this new car has been fully released. It will continue to strengthen the selling point of “luxury off – road”. It is confirmed to be standard – equipped with high – speed/urban NOA intelligent navigation assisted driving, a rear – seat entertainment screen, and an intelligent dual – purpose refrigerator. In Dianchetong’s view, the biggest selling point of the new car is the addition of an ultra – thin lidar, which adds the “intelligent” attribute to this luxury off – road vehicle.
If Dianchetong remembers correctly, TOYOTA bZ will be making its debut at the Chengdu Motor Show alongside FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota for the first time. However, if we talk about the more popular new energy vehicles, it might only be the GAC Toyota Bozhi 7, which was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year. Judging from Toyota’s popularity in the domestic market, fuel – powered cars will probably be more attractive than new energy vehicles.

Hall 2 mainly features SAIC Group, Geely Galaxy, and Aion. Geely Galaxy is participating independently and will showcase the Geely Galaxy M9, which was pre – sold not long ago. Geely Galaxy’s performance in the new energy market has been steadily rising, and its independent participation shows the brand’s confidence without relying on Geely Automobile.
Brands such as Roewe, MG, Buick, Maxus, Wuling, and SAIC Volkswagen are all in Hall 2. But if we talk about the more popular new energy vehicles, Dianchetong believes they are the Buick Zhijing L7 and the recently pre – sold Wuling Bingo S.
“Zhijing” is Buick’s new high – end new energy brand. The Buick Zhijing L7, whose official images have been released, will be positioned as a mid – to large – sized sedan. The main selling point of the new car is high – level intelligence. For example, it is equipped with the Qualcomm SA8775P in – vehicle chip, cooperates with Momenta on assisted driving technology, and is equipped with the R6 flywheel large – model and a lookout – tower lidar.

As for the price, Dianchetong believes that a price range of 200,000 – 300,000 yuan is more reasonable. After all, competing products such as the Xiaomi SU7 and XPeng P7+ also have good intelligent technologies. If the Zhijing L7 is priced higher than this range, it will have little competitiveness. But if it is priced below 200,000 yuan, it won’t be able to highlight its high – end nature.
The pre – sale price range of the Wuling Bingo S is 68,800 – 81,800 yuan. It is the third product in the Wuling Bingo family, positioned a bit higher than the Bingo PLUS. At the previous press conference, Wuling mentioned many designs that provide convenience for female drivers, such as a special lipstick slot in the car, a middle – island storage cabinet, and a dressing table, which are convenient for storing lipsticks, bags, shoes, and other items.

The brands worth paying attention to in Hall 3 are only Hongmeng Zhixing, Audi, Voyah, and BAIC Group. These four seemingly unrelated automobile brands have all played the “intelligence” card.
Needless to say, Hongmeng Zhixing will bring its products from various sectors. The newly launched new models of Zhijie and the pure – electric version of Wenjie M8 will definitely be on display. Moreover, the exhibition car of the Xiangjie S9T has arrived at the store and will also not miss this motor show.

However, the Shangjie H5, currently the cheapest product of Hongmeng Zhixing, may not be unveiled so soon as it has just started accepting reservations. Of course, there is also a possibility that the official will choose the Chengdu Motor Show for its debut. Judging from the current results, the Shangjie H5 received over 50,000 small – order bookings within 18 hours after starting reservations. If it makes its debut at this Chengdu Motor Show, it is very likely to become one of the most popular models in the entire hall.
The all – new Voyah Zhiyin will be officially launched at this Chengdu Motor Show. This car has already started pre – sales. With a starting price of 220,000 yuan, it is standard – equipped with Huawei’s Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 4, Hongmeng Cockpit HarmonySpace 5, and a cold – and – hot box. It also has a 90.8% space utilization rate, offers an 800V high – voltage platform, 5C ultra – fast charging, and comfortable seats with ventilation, heating, and massage functions. Overall, it is indeed a rather comfortable pure – electric SUV. However, the sales of the old – model Voyah Zhiyin were not very high, and it still needs to rely on Huawei’s influence to expand product awareness.
In addition, the Voyah Zhuiguang L will make its debut at this Chengdu Motor Show. The official images of the new car have been released. It uses a new “Kunpeng Spread Wings” front – face design and a two – color body design that emphasizes luxury, which will be one of the biggest highlights of the Voyah booth.

The Audi E5 Sportback, launched in August, is undoubtedly the most – watched Audi new energy vehicle. As a mid – sized coupe, its starting price of 235,900 yuan is not only lower than that of its competitors in the same class but also close to that of the price – cut FAW Audi A4L, showing the official’s sincerity in exploring the pure – electric market.

Hall 4 has a strong luxury atmosphere. There are traditional luxury brands like Mercedes – Benz and Lincoln, new – force luxury brands like NIO, and new energy brands representing luxury off – road like Mengshi Technology, as well as smart, which focuses on luxury compact cars. However, based on the current information, there are actually only two new energy vehicles worth paying attention to: the all – new NIO ES8 and the smart #5 EHD.
The all – new NIO ES8 has started pre – sales. The official starting pre – sale price of 308,800 yuan (Bass battery rental plan) did surprise many potential customers. Moreover, this pure – electric SUV has largely solved the pain points in terms of space and energy replenishment, so it is bound to be one of the most – watched pure – electric vehicles at the motor show.

The smart #5 EHD has attracted attention because it is the first plug – in hybrid model under the smart brand. Its body design is exactly the same as the on – sale smart #5, but it is equipped with a 1.5T plug – in hybrid power system, a battery capacity of 41.46 kWh, a pure – electric range of 208 km according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and a fuel consumption of 5.46 L per 100 km in the power – deficit state.
The smart #5 EHD solves users’ range – anxiety problem. However, the price of the smart #5 is not low, and the smart #5 EHD is essentially still a compact luxury car. According to Dianchetong’s observation, the market for compact luxury cars is not large, so the future of the smart #5 EHD is not very promising.

Hall 5 is completely occupied by the Chery Group. Chery Automobile, Exeed, and Jetour are all in this hall. According to the disclosed information, Chery will showcase several high – profile new cars, including four new energy vehicles: the Chery Fengyun X3L, Chery QQ New Energy, Chery Fengyun T11, and Xingjiyuan E05.
The Chery Fengyun X3L is the brand’s first compact extended – range SUV, with a comprehensive range of over 1,000 km. Its boxy shape is quite memorable, but its body size is not very large, with a length of only 4,545 mm and a wheelbase of only 2,783 mm. Visually, it may not seem very imposing. Fortunately, its body lines are tough enough, giving this compact SUV a bit of a hardcore off – road flavor.
The Chery QQ was unveiled as a concept car at the Shanghai Auto Show this year. This time, a version closer to mass – production will be shown at the Chengdu Motor Show. According to the official statement, the new car will start mass – production in the first half of next year and will compete with 100,000 – yuan – class pure – electric vehicles such as the BYD Dolphin and Geely Xingyuan.
