Foreign media counted China’s most outrageous cottage car Yujie Geely Shuanghuan Chaozhongtai twice on the list.

　　Both consumers and employees in the automobile industry scoff at the mention of fake cars, but whether you admit it or not, the history of China cars is composed of one fake car after another. A few days ago, Autocar, a famous British automobile professional media, claimed that China’s automobile industry likes to copy cars with the title of Dead Ringers: History of the Chinese Copycat Car (A Goods: History of China Counterfeit Cars), and counted the most outrageous cases of China Counterfeit Cars. The original text is compiled as follows.

　　China knockoffs are rapidly becoming the main force in the local market, as shown by Zotye SR9 and Vekery V7, and they even make no secret of imitations from Porsche Macan and Volkswagen e-Up.

　　In recent years, China’s automobile industry has got rid of imitation, and many independent brands have even launched landmark competitive new cars in Europe and the United States. However, even the biggest brands have more or less had shanzhai cars in their product lineup. Therefore, please follow us to see the most outrageous knockoffs in these years.

　　The front face of the double-ring SCEO may be more like the first generation Lexus RX, but there is no doubt that its outline and tail are more influenced by BMW X5.

　　The BMW round logo design has also been copied, although the form has been adjusted. Although it is more decent than the cottage car, it is obvious where the font, color scheme, shape and layout of BYD logo come from. BMN, a China clothing brand, is also facing a lawsuit from BMW for its round logo. But that’s all.

　　Although the comments of British media Autocar are full of arrogance and disdain, the cottage car has always been a topic that cannot be avoided in the development of China’s automobile industry, and it is also a microcosm of the history of China’s automobile industry. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of several generations of China autobots, the pace of catching up with the century-old automobile manufacturing power has been accelerated, the gap has been continuously shortened, and more and more autonomous vehicles have gone abroad to enter the European and American markets.
