Adrian Leung
Adrian Leung covers China’s fast-moving electric vehicle market with technically dense launch stories and column pieces that foreground range, powertrain choices, and pricing. He is a writer at Car News China with a background in electrical and computer engineering, which underpins the way he explains battery systems, drivetrains, and on-board technology. His work centres on new-energy models, from mainstream family EVs to concept cars, and follows them from announcement through revisions and into everyday use.
Sunday China Drive
Adrian is a regular voice in the Sunday China Drive series, where he focuses on how specific models fit into real-world motoring and household budgets. In his piece on the Onvo L90, he presents it as a full-size three-row EV that still meets budget-friendly pricing, framing the car around space, practicality, and affordability. His Sunday China Drive coverage of the Avatr 07 highlights the model securing 11,673 orders in 20 hours and characterises it as a product where innovation meets comfort, giving equal weight to market response and everyday usability.
Across these columns he uses concrete numbers, positioning phrases, and straightforward descriptions to show how new models balance size, comfort, and price for buyers in the Chinese market.
Electric vehicle launches and revisions
Beyond the column, Adrian’s reporting tracks launch cycles and model updates for a wide range of electric vehicles, often anchored by exact dates, variant breakdowns, and performance figures.
His coverage of the Avatr 07 launch details both BEV and EREV variants and notes a starting price around 31,400 USD, giving readers a clear view of drivetrain choices and price positioning in one concise package. In his reporting on the Zeekr 001 and IM L7 revised models, he specifies the planned launch dates in late February and treats revisions as discrete events worth following, signaling that lifecycle updates matter as much as first releases in this segment. His story on the new MG4 EV describes the car being seen at dealerships ahead of its debut in China and includes its 163 hp output and 537 km range, combining pre-launch retail observations with headline performance and range metrics.
Taken together, these pieces show a consistent emphasis on dates, variant mixes, horsepower, range, and pricing, making his launch coverage a reliable way to understand where each EV sits in the broader market.
Concept EVs and technical detail
Adrian extends the same technical focus to concept vehicles, using battery and range data to ground cars that are still pre-production. In his coverage of the Smart #2 concept, he reports a 300 km WLTP range and a 35.7 kWh battery while calling out the chassis and exposed interior, treating the concept as a complete object with engineering and design choices rather than just a styling exercise. His engineering background is visible in the way he brings precise numbers and component-level description into his writing, aligning with the detailed power, range, and variant information that appears throughout his EV launch and revision stories.
For subjects where specifications, energy efficiency, and hardware configuration are central, his work offers clear, technically grounded prose that stays focused on what the car does and how it is built.
