The 2014 Beijing International Auto Show kicks off with the press day tomorrow, and paultan.org is set to cover the show with the help of a Beijing-based team of Malaysian contributors.

Moy Yew Meng, Kwek Chai Li, J.J. Chin and a mystery video host known as Miss Red (that's her in the poster shot) will be our ground team for Auto China 2014. So, expect live pix and video clips from Beijing in the coming days ahead.

The show will have plenty of world premieres – the list of debutants includes the Citroen DS 6WR, production Lexus NX crossover, Hyundai ix25, next-generation Chevrolet Cruze and Peugeot 2008 DKR, among others. Also expected are the Chinese-market Toyota Corolla, Ford Escort and new Peugeot 408.

No shortage of concepts too, with the likes of the BMW 9 Series concept, Mercedes-Benz Concept Coupe SUV, Peugeot Exalt Concept, Volkswagen Golf R 400 and a Nissan sedan concept among the headliners.
