Shanghai : It’s not science fiction anymore — flying cars are finally a reality! At the electrifying Auto Shanghai 2025, Chinese automakers stunned the world by unveiling fully functional flying car prototypes that are ready to change the way we move through cities!
FAW’s premium brand Hongqi introduced its breathtaking eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) flying car, capable of soaring through the skies with a range of 124 miles! Not just a design fantasy — this machine is equipped with a smart cockpit, voice-command systems, and real-time navigation displays. Even more exciting? Test flights are scheduled for later this year!
And it doesn’t stop there!
Changan Automobile and EHang dropped jaws with the EH216, a two-seater autonomous flying vehicle that needs no pilot! Yes, you read that right — this AI-powered air taxi has already received government approval and is ready to fly passengers over city traffic. The future is quite literally up in the air!
Chery took innovation even higher by showcasing a modular flying car that detaches mid-journey! The airborne pod flies 50 miles, then docks with a ground vehicle for smooth land transport. It’s like owning your own personal spaceship — and yes, it drives too!
And the showstopper? XPeng Aeroht’s Land Aircraft Carrier — a beast on wheels that carries its own aircraft inside. One moment you’re driving through the city, the next you’re flying above it. The hybrid model is a bold fusion of design and imagination — and it works!
Auto Shanghai 2025 has made one thing clear: the dream of flying cars is no longer a dream. It’s happening. It’s here. It’s real.
From highways to skyways, the future of mobility has taken off — and we’re all invited to fly along.
