The world’s SUV manufacturers have jumped aboard the hybrid bandwagon, with BMW, Volvo, Mercedes and now Audi preparing hybrid versions of their four-wheel drives. The Audi Q7 e-tron 2.0 TFSI quattro offers claimed best-in-class electric-only range thanks to a 17.3 kw/h fluid-cooled battery pack.

Chinese-Israeli car firm Qoros might not have made many waves outside China yet but its stated intention is to become a worldwide brand. And with the new Qoros 2 SUV it looks like it’s going to make a big step towards that goal.

Just when you thought Volvo was done with the long-term launch of its new XC90, it adds another model to the range. The top-end XC90 Excellence will debut at the Shanghai International Auto Show, and is intended to add business jet-like luxury to Volvo's SUV flagship.

Just last year, Volkswagen released a refreshed version of its Scirocco. Now, the German carmaker has unveiled a new Scirocco GTS at Auto Shanghai. As you'd expect, both the design and performance pack a punch.
