Beijing Motor Show 2016 - pictures

This year's Beijing Motor Show could be the most important yet, as manufacturers from across the globe seek to get a foot in the door of the expanding Chinese car market.

<span>Audi has fired the&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/audi/tt/95304/new-2016-audi-tt-rs-is-quicker-than-an-r8-supercar">TT RS</a><span>&nbsp;into supercar territory with a thumping jump in power and speed. On sale

Bentley has revealed a limited-run 'First Edition' Mulsanne.

Special trim and veneers inside make it one of the most exclusive Bentleys around.

<span>The Chery&nbsp;</span><span>FV2030 might not have a particularly catchy name, but this electric crossover concept is certainly eye-catching.</span>

The C6 was a flop in Britain, so it was always expected that the successor would be a China-only car.

The large luxury saloon comes loaded with tech, and we'd expect it to be powered by turbocharged petrol engines paired with automatic gearboxes.

DS has expanded its China-only range with the DS 4S, a conventional five-door hatch.

The car will be powered by petrol only, with a six-speed automatic the only transmission option.

<span>Volvo's parent company Geely launched the&nbsp;Emgrand GS SUV in Beijing but more significant for the UK market was the news that a</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/beijing-motor-show/95328/geely-set-to-launc

<strong>Infiniti QX50</strong> <strong>Price:&nbsp;</strong>From £35,000 <strong>On sale:&nbsp;</strong>2017

The luxury manufacturer says the concept previews Infiniti's vision for a next-generation mid-size premium SUV.

<span>Chinese media giant LeEco is increasingly turning its hand to car manufacturing and we learned at Beijing that it's&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/aston-martin/95332/chinese-giant-behind-leeco-lesee-tesla-riva

<span>The new&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/lexus/is">Lexus IS</a><span>&nbsp;has made its debut at the Chinese motor show, with a fresh new look.</span>

Mazda has joined the coupe-SUV craze with the CX-4.

The design is similar to the Koeru concept we saw at Frankfurt last year.

<span>The car is China-only for now, but R&amp;D boss&nbsp;</span><span>Kenichiro Saruwatari did tell us that a European launch hasn't been ruled out completely.</span>

A long-wheelbase Mercedes E-Class has been unveiled, and will sit above its shorter sibling and below the S-Class in Merc's family of saloons.

137mm of extra legroom seperates the E-Class LWB from its smaller sibling, and will win fans with China's growing middle classes.

<span>The new&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/cayman">Porsche Cayman</a><span>&nbsp;is now called the&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/porsche/93732/porsche-718-cayman-arrives-4cyl-with-turb

<span>The entry-level version of the mid-engined two-seater uses a 296bhp 2.0-litre turbo, while the faster S model has a larger 345bhp 2.5-litre.</span>

Renault has taken the wraps off the top tier of its SUV family - the Koleos.

<span>The car shares its platform and drivetrain with the Nissan X-Trail, and Renault has high hopes that it will replicate that car's sales performance.&nbsp;</span>

The Koleos is described as "<span>every inch an SUV and every inch a Renault."</span>

Inside, a new portrait-style touchscreen as seen on the latest Megane and Espace sits proudly in the centre of the dash.

Smart has revealed the&nbsp;sportiest variant of its ForTwo and ForFour&nbsp;at Beijing; the Brabus.

<span></span><span><span>The flagship city car gets a 108bhp turbo petrol engine and upgraded suspension for sportier handling.</span></span>
