BMW X5 has been localized, Mercedes-Benz GLE is expected to follow

Against the backdrop of the Sino-US tariff war, the BMW X5 has been localized in 2022, while the Mercedes-Benz GLE was originally planned to be localized in 2026. Given the current situation, Mercedes-Benz can consider localizing the GLE ahead of schedule, taking advantage of China's strong automotive industry chain to accelerate the oil-electric conversion process. In addition, even if it continues to produce fuel vehicles, it can better achieve intelligence, such as introducing Huawei's Hongmeng ecosystem or intelligent driving system.
