A new low for the Chinese automotive industry.

While in Los Angeles the one after the other scoop is revealed, celebrates China his own autofeestje at the Guangzhou Motor Show. Also prominent there: the illustrious Land Wind’s [sic]. The brand that we in the Netherlands got to know thanks to SUVS, which are steered as if you are there too long looking at it. A few years later they came back with an MPV, but also proved to be very successful.

In our own country, the brand now has a whole other bow thrown. They try Eurodesigngeile customers to spawn with a blatant copy of the Range Rover Evoque, which they refer to as the X7. This is not sneak in a few design elements lend. No, this is an attempt to design of JLR for the full 100% copy. To the interior. Under the nepkap of this nepauto is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Mitsubishi with 204 hp and 250 Nm of torque, paired to a manual zesbak. An eight speed automatic transmission is optional.

Land Rover is going to Land Wind pillowcases

A response from Jaguar Land Rover remained not long. First spoke Jaguars designbaas Ian Callum on Twitter his disgust over the fugazi-device, after he in person had seen.

Now, Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth indicated that they are going occur. Both Chinese politics as their JV partner Chery, they want this Evoque-plagiaatgeval the head press. Speth calls it disappointing that there are still so many being copied in China:

“I cannot imagine Chinese officials will be happy at any actions that undermine the credibility of the country. What we have seen today is not correct.”

If you converted 17 mille Evoque-wannabee on the head like a tap; be quick, because Jaguar is medieval in order to prevent this long on the market. And with the false friends of JLR wants you not to argue.
