Car manufacturers from around the globe have gathered at the IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich, Europe’s largest auto show. One of the main themes at the event is the fierce competition between European and Chinese automakers in the electric vehicle (EV) market. European companies are striving to introduce more affordable EVs to catch up with China’s lead in developing cost-effective, consumer-friendly models.

This competition unfolds against the backdrop of an ongoing EV price war, partly instigated by Tesla’s efforts to reduce EV prices globally. Here’s a roundup of the major EV reveals and news from the 2023 Munich auto show:

2. BMW Vision Neue Klasse

BMW revealed the Vision Neue Klasse, an electric concept car representing the automaker’s next generation of EVs. The car embodies a blend of the old and new, with BMW aiming for a “clear,” “elegant,” and “timeless” design language. It features the BMW Panoramic Vision heads-up display and various other features that transform human-car interaction.

3. BYD’s New EV Lineup

Chinese automaker BYD announced five electric cars for the European market at IAA. The BYD Seal D-sedan, built on BYD’s e-Platform 3.0, integrates the body and battery for better structural strength, offering around 350 miles of range and rapid acceleration.

4. Mercedes’ Compact G-Wagon EV

Mercedes-Benz plans to build a smaller, more affordable, all-electric version of its iconic G-Wagon. The “baby” G-Class EV will be “fun to drive — on and off the road.” Mercedes intends to launch an electric version of the larger G-Wagon, the EQG, in 2024.
