While we've covered the big debuts from the likes of BMW, Lamborghini, and Mini, here is a roundup of some of the other wild concepts and EVs at the event.

BEIJING - China will give a one-time subsidy of up to 10,000 yuan ($1,380 or 50,000 baht) to consumers who trade in old cars and buy newer models in a move to stimulate the auto industry and the economy.

The coupe-styled SUV is next in a long line of new models from BYD, and looks to rival the Volkswagen ID.5

BYD is eyeing huge volume potential with its first ute, likely to be called Shark, which will come to market with a heavy Aussie influence.

Global automakers including Volkswagen and Toyota came to this year's Beijing auto show looking to catch up to surging China EV makers that are dominating the world's largest auto market. The show that started this week showcased a marked shift in attitude among some foreign automakers, industry executives said. After being impressed by the bold leaps made by BYD and other Chinese automakers at last year's event in Shanghai, foreign automakers are now avidly searching for Chinese partners and announcing new tie-ups, the executives said.
