China is still developing its auto industry and copying other popular models is often an attempt by Chinese automakers to make something good and be grand. We don’t know the effect that these copycats have in China, but they certainly catch some negative flak in the rest of the world for ripping out other people’s vision, design and engineering.
But there’s so many cars that have been copied by the Chinese that you can’t list them all down there and these are some of the most popular copied cars of some of the most easily recognizable cars by global automakers.
But everyone of them should be better than the new corolla GLi priced almost $20000 …lol
more than that for the top variant…
Its evolution… at one time ppl used to think the same way about japenese cars over European cars… that they japenese toys…u never know tomorrow chinese cars may be hot sellers… also even if they are not sold world wide china itself is around one third of the world population. ..
GreatWall Sing more expensive than the original it copies, haha. There was also the CEO SUV that was ‘inspired’ from an X5 I think. And a Mini Cooper clone exists somewhere as well. Great Infographic.
Dear Baber Khan!
What about FAW V2? Don’t you think its copy of Vitz. But again I would like to add that we should give room to Chinese copies as they fit in with the low budget class of our society. Moreover, the incorporation of new companies and cars would lead to competition and we poor Pakistani people shall have fully loaded cars with competitive prices. Don’t you think so?
First of all, every big company always copy some other big company, for example, Toyota always copy features from Honda, Kia right now copying Ford, Honda tend to copy BMW, Fiat copy VW so, it’s a common practice among big fish. Moreover all these big names get their spare parts and materials manufactured from China. Secondly, I appreciate China on slapping such big names in their faces by producing same specs in very less. So, cheers and enjoy.
Btw some ‘copy’ cars are more elegant than the original ones
F6 not copy of BMW, if you say accord may make sense
landwind X7 sale good , the others rare seen.
