blogentry-133713-0-06890300-1427510987_thumb.jpgChina comes out with a bad Range Rover clone called the Longer Yuelang X1 which is erm, kind of short. Shown last week at the Shandong Electric Vehicle Expo in Jinan City, this awkward-looking low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV) has plenty of Range Rover styling clues all over it. Highlights of this clone are the 'Range' inscription up front and the 'ONEVROVER' at the back.

If only they can get a picture of it getting stuck in the mud. That would complete the joke.

If you don't start from copy then how could you learn? Please go and read more about China's Auto industries.

Yes Calford, there are definitely a couple of decent cars out there built by the Chinese.

 

Maybe, if they had been more tactful when it comes to 'copying', no one would have said anything negative :)

Meanwhile, do take a look at another example of a copy and let us know whether you would be happy if you've bought an Evoque recently.

Well, if they had any integrity, at least co-operate with the original car co to co-produce a variant, instead of shamelessly ripping off the original and not crediting the source.. in the literary world, this is called plagiarism.. like faiming_low replied, you can copy a car's exterior but you cannot reproduce its original quality... I'd rather take a merc SBS bus than ride in a china car.. at least I'll know I can reach my destination safely...lol.....any idea why the china brand cars didnt take off in SG, if they were of acceptable quality and low price? Granted some chinese car co are buying other foreign branded names car co lock stock and barrel, but it'll take time, real effort and a complete discard of the copycat/fast track mentality to create a world class car industry.. only time will tell...

I know that you are using the 1st world standard to look at this. You are so much richer than those people in China. But you must try to understand why did they have to come out with this product. This is for the very poor people who want to own a car.

Though it look very similar, the review of the car was quite good in China.

  • Carpark Review: Junction 8

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
