Visual design and logos are what sets car manufacturers apart from the rest . But some chinese automakers are taking these iconic shapes from popular brands and producing their own much cheaper version.

Some are so similar it would be almost impossible for the average person to tell the difference between the fake and the original.

But somehow Chinese automaker are avoiding legal proceedings, as their cars technically aren't exact replicas.

See if you can spot the difference between these popular models and their near-identical imitations.

1) LandWind X7 (Range Rover Evoque copy)
Land Rover attempted to sue LandWind for their £14,000 copy of the Evoque



2) Geely Merrie 300 (Mercedes-Benz C-Class copy)
Remove badges and these two models are difficult to separate



3) Zotye SR9 (Porsche Macan copy)
Everything down to the shape of the headlights comes from Macan



4) Geely GE (Rolls-Royce Phantom copy)
The iconic British luxury car is not exempted



5) Hanteng Electric concept (Jaguar I-Pace copy)



6) Lifan Xuanlang (Ford C-Max copy)
The Xuanlang comes with a slightly larger front grille



7) Zotye E30 (Smart ForTwo copy)
Zotye even ripped the paint scheme from Smart



Eagle (Porsche Cayman copy)
Even the badges looks similar



9) Lifan 320 (MINI 5-door hatch copy)
Minus the stripes, the white Lifan's body looks very similar to the 5-door MINI



10) JAC A6 (Audi A6 copy)
JAC kept the same "A6" model name



11) Zotye T600 (Volkswagen Tiguan copy)



12) BAIC X424 (Jeep Wrangler copy)
Jeep won't be too happy about this cheaper copycat


Under Chinese law, it is almost impossible for a Western firm to prove to a Chinese court a Chinese manufacturer has infringed a patent.

What do you think?

There's a movie I watched

They said "the American dream is made in China "

And some peeps be saying rubbish about INNOSON cloning other cars

China is a thinking country.
Rather than reinventing the wheel, they duplicated everything that is from the west.

They are even selling their photocopies to Africa and the west at reduced cost.

Unlike Nigeria. We would rather import toothpicks and every other thing we use.

All Chinese copycat product must always shine

The chinese copy cat of landwind, eagle and Jac A6 are beautiful

Life is full of copycats. Once someone appreciates you or products, it will be copied. Eg Tailors

A man once asked a chinese man

Man ''do you know who JESUS is?

Chinese man '' No, but if you tell me i will make 2 COPY for you.


Chinese are crazy fellows...their life style is worthy of emulations.

Atleast they are better in every area.

most of these cars like the geely Merrie 300, lifan320 and baic x424 can be spotted in Ghana. There is another copycat of toyota corolla called BYD F3. "BYD" is a Chinese auto company owned by world richest Warren buffet.

CHINA is a country.
well grounded in food productions, automobiles, textile, electronics[ phones, computers,etc], military/weaponry, telecoms and what hv u.

Bro @jaxxy, Trust you haven’t seen Tumpchi cars. Your perception will change and a day visit to China will definitely trigger changing your perception.
Chinese have gone faaaaaarrr! Don’t take their humble and timid life for a ride. That they are not talking about nuclear weapons and all that doesn’t mean they are dumb. They are just reserve, even in entertainment, football etc.
