<a href="https://www.caricarz.com/en/news/bmw-digital-key-available-for-iphone-and-android-devices/5343" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">BMW's Digital Key Plus feature</a> is now available on a number of Android smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy S23+ and S23 Ultra, as well as the Google Pixel 7 Pro and Pixel 6 Pro.

The Digital Key Plus functions similarly to the previous Digital Key, in that it replaces the traditional key fob in daily use, but it now includes more convenient features. 

You no longer need to place your smartphones in specific locations to lock, unlock, and start the car, thanks to ultra-wideband technology (UWB).<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">

The new center will anchor the brand in Europe and ensure its future products are not just imported but shaped with direct input from European users.It’s a move that underlines how seriously XPeng views the market. A recent survey by German research firm USCALE placed XPeng at the top of the Net Promoter Score rankings among Chinese automakers in the region, with 81% of owners willing to recommend the brand. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19433/16035716/conversions/XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(5)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16035716" alt="XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(5).jpg"> What sets XPeng apart is that it was built around AI from the very beginning. While traditional carmakers are layering intelligence onto mechanical foundations, XPeng’s vehicles, systems and even long-term experiments flow from an AI-first architecture.This framework integrates cloud services, computing power, centralised control and hardware, enabling everything from next-gen smart driving features to the mass roll-out of Level 4 autonomous driving by 2026. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2022/11/xpeng-g9-the-first-electric-suv-to-pass-robotaxi-testing" target="_blank">Robotaxi trials in China</a> are also part of that timeline.&nbsp; <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19433/16035733/conversions/XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(3)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16035733" alt="XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(3).jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19433/16035735/conversions/XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(6)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16035735" alt="XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(6).jpg"> Beyond the road, XPeng is extending its AI vision into new realms. Its flying car division, XPeng AEROHT, will stage the maiden international flight of its modular “Land Aircraft Carrier” in Dubai this Oct, with around 5,000 pre-orders already in hand.On the ground, the company’s humanoid robot programme is advancing quickly. Its “IRON” robot is now being tested in factory settings, with mass production scheduled for 2026. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19433/16035736/conversions/XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(2)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16035736" alt="XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(2).jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19433/16035737/conversions/XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(4)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16035737" alt="XPeng-P7-AI-Caricarz-(4).jpg"> Speaking at the show, Chairman He Xiaopeng said AI has the power to turn the car into “a warm, intelligent companion.” Vice Chairman Brian Gu reminded audiences how far the brand has come since its first IAA appearance in 2023, when it was still seen as a challenger.Just two years on, XPeng has grown into <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/xpengs-ee-architecture-to-power-volkswagens-future-line-up" target="_blank">one of the world’s six largest EV makers</a>, serving users in more than 40 markets. In Munich, its message was clear: the car is no longer the end point, but the starting point for a larger AI-driven ecosystem that could redefine how people move in the years to come.

Battery powerhouse CATL has achieved a world first when its <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/catl-eyes-european-expansion-with-new-shenxing-pro-ev-battery-tech" target="_blank" style="">Naxtra sodium-ion battery</a> has passed <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/05/catl-becomes-first-to-clear-chinas-tough-battery-safety-standard" target="_blank">China’s new GB 38031-2025 safety standard</a>, reports CarNewsChina.
The standard, set to take effect in July 2026, was created to prevent EV fires before they happen. It tests batteries under extreme heat, bottom impacts, and fast-charging stress.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> Independent trials by CATARC confirmed <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/04/1500-km-ev-battery-and-next-gen-fast-charging-headlines-catl-tech-day" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Naxtra’s safety at both cell and pack level.</a> <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19418/16028990/e59bbee78987-72.png" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16028990" alt="e59bbee78987-72.png"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19418/16028995/e59bbee78987-71.png" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="16028995" alt="e59bbee78987-71.png"> 

This is more than a box tick for CATL. Sodium-ion tech could ease pressure on lithium supply, cut emissions in the battery supply chain, and make EVs more reliable in harsh climates. Naxtra keeps 90% of its capacity at -40°C, a big win for drivers in colder regions. It also packs 175 Wh/kg energy density, supports 5C charging, delivers up to 500 km range, and lasts over 10,000 cycles, indirectly rivaling lithium iron phosphate batteries.Mass production is scheduled for December 2025, with first rollout in <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/05/mazda-partners-catl-to-develop-next-gen-ev" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">CATL’s Choco-swap EVs.</a> <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19418/16028999/a1ecaf51-070b-42b5-8a2e-4ed85ca0abac.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16028999" alt="a1ecaf51-070b-42b5-8a2e-4ed85ca0abac.jpg"> 

CATL’s swap network is also accelerating. In August, it added 105 new stations and activated 103, the first time it hit triple digits in both metrics. There are now 512 stations across 34 cities, with a target of 1,000 by end-2025.

CATL’s Naxtra battery becomes the first in the world to meet China’s new 2026 EV safety standard.

This ultra-compact powertrain setup has been designed to allow easy conversions of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) into range-extender electric vehicles (REEVs).Set to be unveiled at the upcoming <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/vw-polo-reborn-as-an-ev-hatch-with-a-hotter-gti-version" target="_blank">IAA Mobility 2025 motor show</a> in Munich, the new C15 range-extender powertrain setup features a 1.5-liter 4-cyl nat-asp engine with an integrated generator and inverter to produce 94 hp. There’s also a peppier turbocharged version coming soon that outputs 161 hp, which can be used for larger D-segment EVs and even commercial vehicles.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19301/15983237/conversions/HorsePowertrain-C15-RangeExtender-1-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15983237" alt="HorsePowertrain-C15-RangeExtender-1.jpg"> Despite its rather ‘large’ capacity, Horse Powertrain claims this setup will be no larger than a briefcase, measuring 500 mm long, 550 mm wide, and 275 mm tall. Its compact setup also allows the C15 to be installed in the frunk of an EV or at its rear end in both horizontal and vertical positions.Adding some flexibility to the mix, Horse Powertrain also says that the 1.5-litre lump has been designed to accept various types of fuels, including petrol, synthetic fuels, ethanol, and even methanol flex-fuels. For better and cleaner emission, the engine is also said to be compliant with the strict Euro 7 emission regulations.Being developed solely as a range-extender kit, the C15 is not being engineered to drive the car’s wheels directly. Instead, it will run at its most efficient rev range to generate electricity for the EV’s battery pack while maintaining relatively low levels of noise and vibration.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19301/15983255/conversions/HorsePowertrain-C15-RangeExtender-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15983255" alt="HorsePowertrain-C15-RangeExtender-2.jpg"> According to Horse Powertrain CEO Mattias Gianni, the new Horse C15 range-extender powertrain “offers car companies a straightforward and cost-effective way to tap into this opportunity and adapt their native BEV platforms into REEVs.”As of now, Horse Powertrain has yet to unveil any potential client for its new C15 range-extender powertrain setup. But given the company is essentially a joint venture of <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/sibling-rivalry-geely-ex5-takes-on-proton-emas-7-in-nepal" target="_blank">Geely</a>, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/renault-group-appoints-cfo-duncan-minto-as-interim-ceo" target="_blank">Renault</a>, and Saudi’s <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/07/aramco-acquires-10-stake-in-horse-powertrain-limited" target="_blank">Aramco</a>, we can expect it to arrive in future Geely or Renault models.

Horse Powertrain’s new ultra-compact C15 powertrain setup can transform your BEVs into REEVs with ease.

While users can only play the games on the central screen when the car is parked, they still can play the games on the optional front passenger screen when the vehicle is moving.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954858/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-5-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954858" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-5.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954863/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954863" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-2.jpg"> Besides multiple screen options, users can also play AirConsole games either by using their smartphones as a controller or even using their own Bluetooth gaming controllers for a better, more engaging experience. To avoid disturbing drivers and other occupants, players can also connect their Bluetooth headphones to the head unit.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954865/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-8-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954865" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-8.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954864/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-7-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954864" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-AirConsole-Gaming-7.jpg"> As of now, AirConsole said Macan Electric owners can enjoy an assortment of “short-session, casual games optimised for the in-car environment” such as racing games, trivia, and even casual sport games, with among the most popular ones being UNO and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. More games can be expected to arrive, with gaming studios like Gameloft and Obscure Interactive already on board.With this update, the Porsche Macan Electric joins the exclusive club of automakers with AirConsole support on their vehicles, with other brands including fellow German compatriots like Volkswagen and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/08/bmw-and-airconsole-introduce-in-car-gaming-platform-for-the-new-5s" target="_blank">BMW</a>, to name a few.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954866/conversions/web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-16-full.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15954866" alt="web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-16.jpg"> Apart from the in-car gaming support, the Macan Electric also gets several other software-related updates, such as the new Voice Pilot—an AI-powered onboard voice assistant that can now understand “complex, interrelated questions and recognises what a statement is referring to.”<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954867/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-Update-3-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15954867" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-Update-3.jpg"> That said, we think the most prominent upgrade is the new digital key support. With this, Macan Electric owners can now use their Apple or Android devices to unlock and start their vehicle without having to open up their phones or smartwatches. This is possible thanks to the use of NFC, Bluetooth, and Ultra-Wideband (UWB) connectivity.The digital key update also allows owners to easily ‘share’ keys with up to seven other users, and they can even determine if these users can simply access the vehicle or drive it.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954868/conversions/2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-Update-1-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15954868" alt="2026-Porsche-Macan-Electric-Update-1.jpg"> Speaking of driving, the update also sees the Macan Electric gaining several automated driving features, including Transparent Hood view for the optional 3D Surround View system with Active Parking Support, as well as the new Trained Parking function.&nbsp;The latter enables owners to record individual parking routines, such as pulling into their driveway, and the vehicle can now automatically perform it time and time again after ‘learning’ the routine.Another driving-related improvement for the Macan Electric is in its towing capacity. Specifically for the Macan 4, Macan 4S, and Macan Turbo variants, they can now tow up to 2,500 kg of loads, which is 500 kg more than the previous figure.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954870/conversions/web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-1-full.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954870" alt="web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-1.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954871/conversions/web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-14-full.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15954871" alt="web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-14.jpg"> As of now, these updates are only available for the US-spec 2026 Porsche Macan Electric, although we can expect some of them to arrive in other markets later in the future. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19248/15954872/conversions/web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-23-full.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15954872" alt="web_MA_CariCarz_Porsche-Macan-EV-Launch_-23.jpg">

The two companies are working together on developing advanced <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/04/mce-auto-hub-operational-in-2025-rm200m-regional-auto-ev-ee-manufacturer" target="_blank">electronic and electrical (E/E) architecture</a>, a system that forms the backbone of modern vehicles.This follows the initial agreement signed in July 2024, and the partnership has now expanded to cover not only electric vehicles but also <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/04/xpengs-new-sepa30-promises-faster-charging-and-1400-km-hybrid-range" target="_blank">internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV)</a> models in China. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19033/15885278/conversions/df9008393454443aaa9b985d15cb1dd8-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15885278" alt="df9008393454443aaa9b985d15cb1dd8.jpg"> This expansion means Volkswagen will be able to use XPeng’s <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/04/mce-auto-hub-operational-in-2025-rm200m-regional-auto-ev-ee-manufacturer" target="_blank">E/E architecture</a> across a wider range of vehicles. By doing so, the company can roll out software updates more quickly, shorten the time it takes to develop new models, and improve competitiveness in a cost-effective way in a fast-changing market.The E/E architecture, short for electronic and electrical architecture, is essentially the nervous system of a modern car. It connects hardware and software throughout the vehicle, from driver assistance systems to infotainment, power management and connectivity. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19033/15885279/conversions/20240417-133418-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15885279" alt="20240417-133418.jpeg"> By working with XPeng, Volkswagen gains access to an architecture designed from the ground up for smart EVs. The system is highly flexible and can support different powertrains and also allows for <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/01/xpeng-xos-54-ota-update-rolls-out-globally-malaysia-included" target="_blank">software and hardware standardisation</a>, cutting costs and speeding up development.The joint research and development teams have already proven that an architecture built for EVs can also be applied to ICE and PHEV platforms. This breakthrough highlights the long-term value of the collaboration and is expected to strengthen Volkswagen’s position in China, the world’s largest car market. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19033/15885281/conversions/04eea4ec8a724ec389207517f949f19c-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15885281" alt="04eea4ec8a724ec389207517f949f19c.jpg"> XPeng’s CEO He Xiaopeng said the expanded agreement reflects trust between the two companies and their shared commitment to innovation in smart vehicle technology.Volkswagen Group China’s CEO Ralf Brandstatter added that extending the architecture to combustion engine models strengthens the company’s technological leadership while allowing it to stay competitive in China as the group transitions toward fully connected and intelligent EVs.

Volkswagen is adopting XPeng’s electronic and electrical (E/E) architecture to speed up development and lower costs.
