The family SUV market has never been more competitive, with three smart contenders vying for top spot

BYD has opened in Puerto Madero together with Grupo Jack and is accelerating its network in Greater Buenos Aires. With a 0% tariff for electrified vehicles under a FOB value of USD 16,000 and full import quotas for 2025, the brand is entering the market with the Dolphin Mini, Yuan Pro and the plug-in hybrid Song Pro. What are dealerships expecting, and how is the infrastructure developing?

Chinese EVs like the BYD Atto 3 shine on price sheets, but then viral videos and safety testing complicate the decision to buy.

The 2026 Song Pro DM-i features 1.5L PHEV powertrain, 133 km electric range, simplified dashboard, and smart infotainment system.

Europe's car industry faces an acute demand shock from Chinese overcapacity & US tariffs. Instead of bailouts & regulatory rollbacks, member-states should co-ordinate buy-European EV subsidies & revive internal demand.

Europe’s car industry faces a perfect storm. Chinese car exports are surging, European producers are being squeezed out of global markets, US tariffs are rising, and domestic demand remains 20% below pre-pandemic levels. Instead of sliding into a costly muddle of regulatory rollbacks, bailouts, and fragmented national subsidies, the EU should harness its single market - 450 million consumers and a vast corporate sector - to drive demand for Europe-made vehicles. That means co-ordinating consumer subsidies with a buy-European clause, applying it to both private and corporate fleets, and using it as a platform for reciprocal EV-subsidy agreements with trusted trade partners. A window for action is open: Germany, France, Italy, and Spain all need to renew their EV-support schemes in the coming months. Together, they represent 70% of EU car registrations—and could launch broader European coordination.

China’s giant BYD will be launching its first fully electric kei at the upcoming Japan Mobility Show in Tokyo, scheduled to begin on October 29.
