The copy: Youxia Ranger X
The original: Tesla Model S
All you need to know is that Youxia means Knight Rider. The Ranger X even has LCD lights like Kitt the car. Although with a 0-62mph time of just 5.6sec, this is some kit car.
The copy: Shuanghuan Auto Noble
The original: Smart Fortwo
Unlike the Smart Fortwo, to which this car bears an uncanny resemblance, the Auto Noble is said to seat four people. Although it doesn’t say how big they can be. Based on some of the Toyota iQ in technology terms, this is an all-electric car.
The copy: Dojo Pioneer
The original: Aston Martin Cygnet
Based on some of the Toyota iQ in technology terms, this is an all-electric car. It’s a strange car to choose to copy but it’s claimed to have a range of 75 miles with a top speed of 37mph.
The copy: Yogomo S325
The original: Range Rover Evoque
This clearly isn’t a copy, although perhaps the Evoque was the inspiration for the shrunk-down lights on this rather gangly supermini.
The copy: Yogomo 330
The original: Kia Picanto
Oooh this is pretty close to a Kia Picanto isn’t it? But in China it may well find sales. Probably not anywhere else though.
The copy: Geely Merrie 300
The original: Mercedes-Benz C-Class
If you stood at the back of this saloon you’d think it was just an okay car. Move round to the front and you have a pretty exact copy of a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. There’s even a similar hood ornament. It must be a coincidence.
The copy: BYD logo
The original: BMW logo
Inspiration not exact copy – clearly that’s what this BYD logo is compared to the German original logo.
