It will come as no surprise that China’s car manufacturers used the 2019 edition of the country’s fastest-growing motor show to debut a range of new models.

There was a slew of new metal in Shanghai, in both concept and production form. And with home-grown companies now turning their attention to foreign markets, these arrivals are becoming increasingly relevant to the wider world.

Hongqi HS7: the BMW-beating grille

After all, this is by far the world's biggest new car market, so companies are going to develop products to suit it.
