Honda Ye GT Concept

Honda has launched a new model line with its Chinese joint-venture partners, Dongfeng and GAC, aimed at making headway in the country.

iCar V23

Bolstering iCar’s 4×4 line-up is a type of car we haven’t seen since the Renault Scenic RX4 – an off-road MPV. Local media reports it has a range-extender powertrain.
