The Geely Galaxy Cruiser, equipped with a tri-motor plug-in hybrid powertrain, has been unveiled as a competitor to the Tank 300 and Jetour T2. It is set to make its official world debut later this year, according to The Citizen.

Jetour Nigeria is set to host a three-day luxury automotive showcase in Abuja from September 22 to 24, 2026, headlined by the all-new Jetour G700 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). The event in the Federal Capital Territory follows the brand's major earlier showcase in Lagos, as the automaker continues efforts to expand its presence and promote its hybrid vehicle lineup across the Nigerian market.

The JAECOO J5 is set to be included in the primary production lineup at Chery's inaugural manufacturing facility in South Africa.

The Changan Hunter K50 REEV is set to evolve into the more aggressive K70 model, which will focus on off-road capabilities. This new model is expected to be available in South Africa by early 2028.

Geely revealed the Xingyue L Plus on 5 September, offering petrol or self-charging hybrid versions rather than a plug-in. The model is presented with Flyme Auto software, a Snapdragon 8295 chip, a 30-inch interior screen and roof-mounted lidar. The announcement emphasizes in-car computing and driver-assistance hardware, but does not provide pricing, launch markets, output figures or detailed specifications beyond those headline features.

South Africa is transitioning from coal-fired electricity, which currently accounts for 74% of its power, to renewable sources like wind and solar. This shift is complicated and is being hindered by the need for a different electricity system and new grid management strategies. Additionally, significant changes are required at Eskom, the state-owned utility that has historically dominated the power sector.
