And even though that vehicle’s sales have taken a whopping hit across the region so far in 2025, it’s still extremely successful. Other contenders in the 4.7-4.9 m long size class include the likes of the Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe. Plus the aged Land Rover Discovery Sport and just-facelifted Volvo XC90 are still doing good volume too.
