In May 2026, Smart launched its most extensive set of purchase incentives to date within the Chinese market. Covering the entire Jingling #1, #3, and #5 model lineup, this initiative aims to reshape the landscape of the ¥150,000–¥250,000 pure-electric SUV segment through a strategy of "Low Entry Price × High-Value Returns." These incentives constitute a *regional, limited-time promotion* and do not alter the global standard product definition—specifically, the technical specifications, platform architecture, and safety standards of all models remain absolutely identical to their overseas counterparts, representing an intelligent mobility solution that is *First-to-Launch in China, Shared Globally*.

On April 24, 2026, at the Beijing Auto Show, smart officially launched pre-sales for the 2026 smart #6—a mid-size hatchback sedan built exclusively for the Chinese market and the world's first vehicle to feature a combination of a 3-speed DHT hybrid system, a high-efficiency 1.5T engine, and LiDAR-enabled intelligent driving technology. Rather than pursuing "global synchronization" or merely piling on luxury brand labels, the smart #6 leverages a *systematic integration of Chinese new energy technologies* to offer young families—who prioritize performance, intelligence, and spaciousness—an "all-rounder" with a "compact footprint, immense energy," all within a price range *starting at ¥189,900*.

On March 11, 2026, Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled the all-new VLE all-electric luxury MPV—a high-end electric MPV that stands as the world's first vehicle built upon the dedicated VAN.EA electric platform, featuring an 800V high-voltage architecture as standard across the entire lineup, and equipped with a massive 31.3-inch 8K roof-mounted display. Far from being merely a "vehicle capable of running on electricity," it is a mobile VIP lounge that seamlessly integrates the cabin experience of a private jet, a smart office workspace, and a home entertainment center. With an estimated starting price in the ¥750,000 RMB range, it targets high-end families and business users globally, posing a direct challenge to models such as the Toyota Alphard, Zeekr 009, and Buick GL8 EV.

Currently, pre-orders are open in Germany, with a starting price of €59,048 (approximately RMB 450,000), and it is expected to become a focus for family users.

With the rapid development of the electric vehicle market, Mercedes-Benz continues to exert its strength in the field of electrification.

Built on the MMA modular platform, the new car balances performance and environmental protection, becoming a new German luxury choice that is accessible to young consumers.
