Pictures from Patent Bureau of new Landwind's SUV. Obviously the Chinese designers got an inspiration from Range Rover Evoque:

This is far away from Evoque inspired, this is a shameless copy.

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

this is maybe their best copy ever ))
imagine to buy this for 15-20K?! while original range is maybe 60K?
i understand the range rover image and exclusivity ...but how to explain to average Chinese or any other customer that you can make almost identical outside vehicle, which will have ford of mitsubishi engine for almost 1/3 of the price?!

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

As I suppose the Land Rover and Range Rover models for sale in China are all registered by the Chinese Copyright Bureau it must be easy for Jaguar-Land Rover to stop this imitation, the same way Neoplan did against Zonda (see http://www.chinesecars.net/content/neoplan-man-ag-versus-zonda-bus-coach-group)

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

but those people in landwind are just crazy, their firstly had the problems with crash test, after couple of years they finally made safer cars, and instead that they focus on new products and future development, they make a copy of range rover )) hahahah

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

If it was a local design I would say it would be one of the best ever beautifully designed cars in China. Unfortunately is just a shameless copy.

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

Exactly, but like I heard, there's nothing bad, in their opinion, in such copying...

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

a lot of my Chinese friends are very ashamed by this shameless copying.

Re: Landwind E32 (X7)

A close look at this Landwind's quality, namely the fit and finish, in the LH rear tail light assembly, and surrounding sheet metal, may evoque some criticism as well.
