Huge ‘9 Series’ SUVs cracked China – can they beat Range Rover here?

The claim that China’s car industry is exporting its overcapacity isn’t being disproven by the recent decisions of brands including BYD, Freelander, iCaur, Jetour and Zeekr to sell 5m-long SUVs in Europe.

Chinese brands have been persuasive in selling us SUVs slightly bigger than our normal comfort zone of around 4.5m, but these Goliaths are well outside that.
