Top 10 Copycat cars
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I’ve gathered 10 cases of ultimate flattery in autos here, where the industrial design of one is blatantly copied onto another. Here you go, the showdown of the look-alike cars (and a bus):
1. Daewoo Matiz vs Chery QQ
This one was so extreme, some parts of one car fit into the other (e.g. door panel, bonnet etc).
2. Vauxhall Frontera vs Landwind
3. Honda CRV vs Laibao SRV
Check out the semi-Audi front logo too!
4. Mercedes C vs Geely Merrie 300
The Geely was shown in an auto exhibition. I don’t think it was eventually produced looking like this though.
5. Neoplan Starliner vs Zonda A9
6. Rolls-Royce Phantom vs Hongqi HQD
7. Smart vs er. Chinese Smart
8. Toyota Prado vs Dadi Shuttle
9. Nissan XTrail vs Greatwall Sing
10. BMW 7 vs BYD F6
For this, the copying is not so drastic except the lights, but it does get brownie points for imitating the badge as well.
11. Bonus! Toyota Logo vs Geely Logo
Toyota sued and won though.
This is fraud its time they used their brains and became original. theft is cheating there’s no respect for copycat designs.
wow…thats a really good post
Great post, although some manufacturers do use the same factory before changing a couple of panels and rebadging.
My last car was a Ford Laser, which I purchased in Australia. I really wanted the Mazda Astina at the time but it was a little outside my price range. That was until I found out that the Ford Laser was essentially the exact same car, right down to the compliance plates.
The only real differences were the interior fabric options, headlights on each car, and the shape of the actual hatch itself.
So I managed to get the car I wanted (except with a different badge) for quite a substantial amount less than was the retail price for the Mazda. That being said, I did get quite a few disparaging remarks from people who don’t like Fords. No matter, to me my car is a Mazda, in disguise!
Great post! Very interesting to see the similarities and love the BMW and faux BMX badges…. LOL!
I think the producers of such copy cat are at one time a product of the original makers at one time or the other. The real idea is “what’s in that machine that is not in this?”. But why should they create confusion? I think the market should competitive rather than replication.
That is the proove of the асе that smaller companies always imitate the bigger ones - and your post is not something new and extraordinary. Because bmw is much greater than инвю That is the point
Haha are you kidding me? That’s ridiculous.
However….. I am tempted to go find the rolls ripoff and buy that. Cmon it’s tempting right guys
back me up here….
Пиздец
Неверю

Lol I’ve never noticed how much the cars look like each other.

Do China make a replica of Hummer H 1 and H 2
@Alex: I’m waiting for those too! Hopefully they come out NOT with a quality of typical chinese products…
the greatwall sing should not be compared to the nissan xtrail. IMO
it should be compared to the nissan frontier with enclosed shell.
and for the crv, the pic should have been the gen2 crv and not the gen2.5 crv.

Craig, great argument for Ford/Mazda, except you’re missing one vital piece of information.
Ford owns Mazda, so it only makes sense that they would share chassis’ and other parts between the two brands.

The photograph was seen.
And, I am very surprised.
It is not believed that such a car is manufactured at the large-scale factory.
Such an indescribable enterprise is malignant.
It is very unpleasant feelings.
I think that the country named China is foolish and tricky.

The Chinese have no monopoly on copying…..
When you are on the road next time, have a look at the BMW 3 series tailight cluster of a few years ago. Then look at it on the Infinity G35, and the Toyota Avalon. Is this not shameful copying by these industry leaders too?
Fuck CHINAs

Foreign manufacturers can’t do anything about this because there is simply no kind of copyright protection, not even an awareness of its existence, in China and therefore no basis for a lawsuit. Neither has any nation or institution got a political grip on China to change legislation there, so this probably won’t change anytime soon.
These rip-offs are only the tip of the iceberg, because the automotive industry is very much in the public spotlight. Thankfully, these creations are laughed at in the west and most of them are sold only in China, so the damage is limited.
Even more dangerous to western industry are chinese rip-offs of inferior quality in the mechanical engineering sector, where industrial products are sold as originals all over the world. It’s scary how widely spread this is and many highly specialized small companies are struggling with this plagiarism. Moreover, as the quality of these products is so bad, they might even disreputate the original inventor…
Just my 2 cents.
fuck china.. commie assholes
Bravo China Bravo.. West are loosers
Wow, china is worldwide thief!
Daewoo Matiz VS. QQ is excellent!

The great designer and businesswoman Chanal once said “I don’t mind being imitated. In fact, being imitated is the greatest sign of success.” So, take that, you pathetic Japanese companies out there, why’re so afraid of being imitated? What are you afraid of? Is it because you know you’re not intelligent or determined enough to keep up with the Chinese? And shame on Koreans who critize Chinese car companies. May Japan invade you and occupy you again, like they did between 1910-1945, then you’ll know who’s your friend and who’s your enemy. And finally, to Americans, you have nothing to worry about. GM is making record profits in China, and the Chinese are buying way more GMs than Toyotas, so at least there is one market where you’re beating the Japanese. What’s a little copying going to do?
yoah nissan 350 man
That’s right. We are copycats, what are you gonna do about it? kill me? oh, I am so scare!
i would like to know more informtion about your car produc if that passable

Original car companies, Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Ford, Jeep (Willys)…the rest is Jap copy crap or Sino-Shito I give the Japs credit for the economy - here they have earned an innovative reputation…otherwise they just copied the Americans, Germans, and English…just like the Chinese are doing to them today.
More of the same ! http://www.chelfing.com
chinese ppl are evil and corrupted.
esp the government.
you are all inhuman
Yeah but atleast when the Jap’s copied European/US models they actually improved the engineering aspect. My uncle used to rave about proper British motorbikes, but nowadays he buys the Japanese ‘copies’ of the old British bikes because they have all the old unique qualities, but are mechanically far better engineered.
Эх, молодцы китаёзы! :о)
lol we have a local version of H1! though it is very very slow and ugly (its less modified version of the exterior and little compare to the original one)
Chinese people will always be CHEATERS! Period!
Chinese people think only the money, they dont care if they call cheaters..etc..etc..etc..as long as they have income and can give the demands of people who cannot afford to buy the original… low cost and poor quality..that’s their trademark.
so what if they’re copy cats? Id have the Mercedes C . . .no wait Geely Merrie 300 . . either >_<
Well, every industrialized nation had done it at some point in time before they made their original versions. The Japanese copied the Americans first and who’d say that they would soon surpass the ford vehicles? Then,too, the Koreans copied the Japanese but they made some variations by fusing European touches. Now their Kias, Hundais and Daewoos are getting international exposures. These countries are smart and clever. Sooner or later, before we know it, China begins to manufacture her own fighter planes too. So the big question is if we want to follow the same path or module or success, maybe we should stop copying western dance steps and instead focus on copying the industries.
Rolls-Royce Phantom vs Hongqi HQD!!! this is a beatiful car!!!
yao ming sucks!
With everything that’s goin on, will they ship over cars with lead-based paint jobs?
Eat your heart out!! You guy are nothing but whiners who likes to cry and make a big fuss of everything. Why don’t you design and make a better vehicle yourselves?
Chinese people suck anyway.
My car mechanic put the chinese spare part for right rear brakes, and guess what? I have lost brakes after 300 km. Cause, damaged cylinder, left o-rings diameter was 2mm smaller than right o-ring. Now i have italian cylinder, just like one on the rear left wheel. My car now stops when I push brake pad.
Long live People Republic of China!

that was really really cool! well that was crazy a little bit king of funny.
china copies them all, what do you expect ? that country has everything (fake of course), you name it, they got it.
DAEWOO is NOT from China. Actually DAEWOO is part of GM now, MATIZ is the original and Chevy is a branded DAEWOO. In Europe it is called both Chevrolet Spark and Daewoo Matiz depending of the market image of both brands.
Nau: No shit, sherlock? And what’s your point? The point on this webpage surely was that the chinks copied Daewoo’s design…
Are there any lawsuits support this imitations? Be gentle guys, this only low down your reputations. If you feel angry, please use law to sue them.
Some years ago, Japan was a copycat also …
001 Big fish eat Small Fry.
002 Small Fry get clever, escapt Big Fish.
003 Small Fry grow, become Big Fish.
004 GOTO 001
The Japanese were once small fry to US & Europe.
The Koreans were once small fry to Japan, US, Europe.
China is small fry to Korea, Japan, US, Europe.
Just wait.
History unfolds.
Who’s next?
Western automakers rushed to China for cheap labor, but for geopolitical reasons as well. That is, the best way to keep China from military aggression is by doing business with her. The tradeoff to violent warfare, however, is ECONOMIC WARFARE. That is what this whole thing is about. China is invading the ‘capitalist world’ just as Japan invaded postWW2 America - and has gained a foothold on its former “master”.
The Chinese are no less pragmatic and utilitarian than Japs, Yanks, Euros, and Koreans.
All your base are belong to us
what will you copy when no one invents anything any more?
stupid chinese. no originality. cant use their brain but have to copy from others!
The Japs shameless stoled and copied from everyone.
toyota and nissan are japanese ya tit
You should be careful before accusing the chinese car companies of copying. Some has the rights to do so. For exemple, the Greatwall is supposed to be built with the permission of Nissan. Same thing for the Xiali 2000, which is a Toyota Ecco with a chinese motor. The company that built the Xiali 2000 has the right to do it.
But it’s true that the BMW X5 have been purely copied by Shuanhuan.

Its just too funny!!!!=))))))
It happens with every car company now days…take General Motors for instance. They produce the Chevrolet Aveo which is actually a rebadged Daewoo Kalos, The Chevrolet Optra in Canada which is actually a rebadged Suzuki, the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice which are actually rebadged Vauxhall’s. It’s a world where the best designs are always copied…it’s been that way for a long time. Even in the sixties half of the cars looked very similar to cars made by different manufacturers.
北京オリンピックが泣く。。
CHINKS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD?!?!
Ithink this is great, Its about time, someone,
shows how over priced cas are today.
if look good why not. it’s better than paying
crazy prices.
the landwind and vauhkall r jus copying isuzu
What a surprise from the worlds
biggest polluter. Why doesn’t Gore complain
about them?
Wow…i think this an awesome idea! Why hasnt any company ever done this before…id say they are innovators!
you should see the Jiangling Hover vs Isuzu Axiom
If China cannot manufacture a quality moped/scooter yet so what makes them think they can manufacture a quality car at this point. The Chery is manufactured by Geely, the worst scooter manufacturer in China. Geely manufacturers absolute rubbish and the electrical portion of their products is a mismatched bunch of colored wires, the metal is like butter, the bearings are a grade that is not even on a scale.
These cars may look the same but I will bet my life they will become the next debacle. Just be prepasred for it to sit in the warranty line at the dealership.
The Chinese businessperson is a scandulous, dishonest, backstabber. They make the promise and then do the opposite. They would sell their own mother’s eye to the food market if they had too.
Have I see these cars up close ? Yep, I go to China 2 to 3 times per year.
Buyer beware and goodluck if you buy the Chinese trash heaps.
Instead of fearing terrorists, we should be fearing the chinese. It obvious that we american support them by buying thier clothes,toys and everyday products. Once they will become the only world power they will control american birthrate and pratice korate on us. Ban chinese people and products.
They are such evil people , they write in chinese and i dont know what they are writting. Can any one, except the chinese, can read chinese?
Wait until someone dies in one of these copycat cars. THe safety issues will be a problem.
LIKE I WOULD EVEN BUY A CHINESE CAR….PLEASE! HOWEVER THEY SHOULD BE MORE ORIGINAL IN THEIR DESIGNS AND LOGO…CLEAR CASE OF RIP OFF IF YOU ASKED ME.
anyone remember Yugo? good luck to those that by clones.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE YUGO
I AGREE WITH YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY GIRL. WE NEED TO BUY AMERICAN
CMON give me a break! Everything is a knock off of something else. Thats how we have many options as consumers. Car makers have been doing this forever. Everything we purchase has an exact copy of it for sale by an other brand/badge. Why would this be any different. People want options.
all you bastards that brought anything with made in china stamped on the back is the cause of this anybody who buys thing from american companys that farm out labor to china is guilty of helping this disgrace thats why oil prices are so high china needs to be nuked now before they take over the world and it becomes peoples republic of america
hey its only one yummy
LOOK ON ANY HIGHWAY TODAY…AMERICAN CARS ARE ALL EUROPEAN AND JAPANESE CLONES.
wow do they clon their women too.
Just add the nice lead paint interior trim and then we can take the cars back on the way home from the toy store.
If you do not have enough money to buy the real thing. Just save! And think smart!
Do not stoop to the level of buying a “fake”, quality car so you and your family can die in a crash. What would you like on your tombstone?
A fake BMW logo?
Everyone who is downing China, like this article, is just afraid that China is going to take over the economy!
Also, everything starts from copies, get over it!
And do you even know that the usa STOLE ancient artifacts from China in a war way back in the 11 (or some other #) countries war. A bunch of countries, like the usa, Russia(Soviet Union), great britain, france, japan, and others, took over China and stole a whole lot of stuff. Now it’s suppose to be *under guard* by the u.s government. BULLSHIT!!! Why don’t you return the history of China before you even start saying they’re copying ur shit.
The Chinese market will destroy the american market as it is already starting to do. The trade balance is off and we are becoming a weaker country every year. We manufacture nothing here anymore and that will be the downfall of what we know of this society. Don’t kid yourself, hard times for us could be here anytime. Our reliance on foriegn oil and products made overseas makes ours an unstable country. The united States was a strong country because of our manufacturing base not our ability to purchase cheap products and often inferior products overseas. American products may cost more, if we support our own countries manufacturing and sales base we can still save our country. Otherwise, polish up on your Chinese you will need it!
Lets face it, with todays car prices,I see it as a good thing,remember Suzukie,Hunday,Sicom,dyhatzu and so on ,all have become decent cars for a fair price,so lets give them a chance it will create competition and that means better prices for consumers.I would not mind having a duplicate BMW,X5,for half the price .who cares,? it’s all abaut the money we the consumers could save,I think we can all agree that Car prices have gone trough the Roof.Only the rich would dissagree with that.
Buy American….while you still can!
I think its a great idea but they need to change the logos and be a little more original ….by doing what they are they are forcing the top brands to lower the price of the vehicle or be forced to lose out on future customers and if this was in the US I could only imagine the impact it would have…Im pretty sure they are better on gas as well….so they probably will never have them cars over here……lol
Do they contain lead paint or other hazzardous products as well as their other items???
The next time you’re tempted to save money and drive a Chinese knockoff, just remember the Polaroid TV you just took back 3 times, or the Chinese soldering iron that caught fire the first time you used it, or the air nailer that blew nails out - BACKWARDS! China can make anything cheaper, some things well, but they have ZERO quality control, ZERO inspections, and ZERO scruples, so your chances of buying a piece of junk are about 1 in 2 (either you will or you won’t). For $38,000, that seems like a poor bet!
reply to China: DOES NOT RULE BECAUSE U NEED TO OPEN UR EYES AND SEE China will take over the economy, thats true , they are almost there
but after two minutes like everything else i purchased made in china will break
therefore American economy will never be lost
i rather have quality for my dollar
After WWII, Japan copied every one else so successfully that ultimately, they developed their own designs and are now pace setters in the automotive and electronics industries. China has the talent to do the same as Japan, after first looking foolish as copycats. China will have the last laugh at our expense.
Wolfie,
I see your point and understand. I am not wealthy…I would like to leave behind a country for my kids to live in someday and enjoy the same human rights as you and I do now. A cheap car, no more steel manufacturing here, no toys, China owns most of our debt…what are your thoughts on a cheap car at the cost of your country!
i have traveled within china and have seen all they copy, they also copy CD’s Movies etc. they are not capable of Inventing anything on their own.Chinise copy all. Solution: Don’t Buy their crap and check anything you buy that is made in china. keep in mind that many products that are made for kids contain high lead contents.
when will they clone the Viper, vette or Lambo for maybe 15 grand???
dEAR wOLFIE
WHY WOULD U EVER PLACE UR SELF OR UR CHILDREN AND WIFE IN A CAR THAT CAN SPIN OUT OF CONTROL AND BREAK AND BE THE REASON FOR FUTURE UNHAPPINESS, JUST TO SAVE $$$. i RATHER WAIT INT HE COLD EVERY DAY AND USE MY GOLD SHINY METRO CARD THEN RISK MY SAFTEY
Japanese cars such as Lexus have plants all over the united states which employ americans. That does help, does any ones see what is in store for us if we do not develop our manufacturing base and bring back out economy
Competing American car manufacturers sell almost the same vehicles under different names…always have. Many foreign car manufacdturers have been killing in the American market for years…not because of trickery, but because they have a good product. I’m a proud American, but I work hard for my money and I need to get the best car I can for the price. Right now, I’m driving a Ford, but I have driven foreign cars in the past. American auto manufacturers need to stop whining about the imports and step up their own products….
Has anyone considered the underlying labor practices behind all of this?
We as western consumers are driving this, & are partially responsible for the success of outsourcing our industry. Remove the exploitation and there goes the advantage.
Yes we’ll pay more, but as consumers we can cast our votes in the marketplace for better & greener products that last longer, and reflect better labor practices.
We can only hope that manufacturers world wide take heed of this; including those in China.
yeap./… great!…. if i can buy something that look like RR for cheaper price… “ILL TAKE IT”… and ill pay with cash too! lol
We can all make a diference buying american made products….problem is finding them. The clothes I bought for the kids are made in China and most everything else. We need to get a master list of companies that use US products and manufacture here in the US. We need to boycott Chinese products and bring back our economy and then our sense of being the great country we area. This will keep companies here in the US and hopefully stop sending our jobs overseas to India and China and so on. Stand up and be proud of this country again!
just goes to show how much they really have invested into these cars
Rick, you failed to mention that it was American car makers ,do to the increased Union demands were the first ones to run overseas to look for cheaply produced parts ,look under the Hood of your averg. us car or Truck.most wire ring and electric prod. are made overseas.
Deeeno, if your looking for great deals instead of caring about this country and our welfare….I am sure you can find a discount plane ticket to China to live…sure its easy to pay less. But, in the end do we all benefit…. or do we just support another country!
All the big car companies are going to China to make parts I just changed 3 door actuators on my nissan maxima. I was suprised 3 failed at the same so I took them apart to inspect them and note the motor was made in china the same type used in toy cars. We are teaching them, we must accept the fall out.
Dan
Wolfie,
I agree with you…but we need to look at what is happening and take action. As I said a cheaper toy is great for your kids…but, would we not be better off leaving them with the country you grew up in.
Further move towards the empire of China. They are going to complete the domination of the world soon. Computers, toys, clothing, houseware,…baby food and now cars. They just need to wait for others to develop things and then copy simple. With cheap labor no one else can compete.
China SUCKS!
dubsy, we can start by boycotting Walmart.
Maybe this sort of competition will dive prices down for us consumers…
To “asian” who said we are all “american racist pigs”…go f**k yourself. It was us “racist pigs” that kicked the Japanese out of your country in World War II…when you couldnt fight for yourselves….weaklings. You and anyone else that hates us can kiss our ass. If it wasnt for us…you’d all be speaking German, Japanese and goosestepping down the strasse….remember that ? A little gratitude goes a long way….then again…what would one expect from a bunch of ingrates.
This sort of competition does drive prices down for consumers, but at what cost?
The short term view ends up biting us in the you know what when we consider long term effects.
Wes, are we going to also boycott HP,Dell,Toshiba,Compaq etc..? Have you ever opened up a computer to see the parts inside? Check out where they come from these days.
If the economy here in the US is stimulated via more employment though manufacturing and higher salaries then products will become cheaper. What do we do to make money if we do not manufacture products here in the US and don’t assemble anything here. Can a company remain solvent doing this….well neither can a country. We could be looking at the fall of the roman empire…only american.
Race has nothing to do with this. I have nothing against anyone. I have enjoyed the fruits of this country and simply would like to pass that on to our kids. The russians and chinese will tear aprat this country if given a chance and they have already begun.
I’m sure us Americans will buy the heck out of these Chinese autos… Pitiful…
Let the world hold its breath…. God made the CHINESE look ALIKE more than any other race… so it comes naturally… dont you all think… We need to enjoy the ride and give them a taste of good tax for such exports,
About time!!! this is great!!! people should be able to make any car they wish not what BMW HONDA or whatever car company says and dictates what THEY CAN AFFORD… and for cheaper good #ish china man>…. and for safety kiss my ass because when YOUR CARD IS PULLED you can be in a Hummer or KNOCK OFF….and arrivederci.Yeah and who says China’s taken over what economy if your broke, RICH, or just hard working… who cares we all work hard and CHINAS schooling is wayyyy better then ours.. tell that to YOUR ECONOMY… teach Americas children to be smarter!!! Then we wouldn’t have this debate if CHINA JUST TRYIN TO MAKE a BUCK!!!!!!
love it, pull up in a fake marcedes lmao
dubsy, you are correct and we are in a global economy. All I am suggesting is that we try to “level the playing field”. We can start by being more sensitive to working conditions in other places where unfair competition is occurring due to abusive labor practices.
Perhaps by writing to our representatives and supporting those overseas who have to courage to speak out against the injustices in their societies. The net offers us a window here.
Look on the bright side, if you smash it or somthing goes “wong” take it to the chineese restraunt and they will fix a cracked engine block with a little sticky rice!!!
Wow, that’s frightening…guess I’d better go ahead and buy that Rosetta Stone software to learn Mandarin Chinese!
REAL SIMPLE! THE US SHOULD PUT HUGH TARIFFS ON THESE PHONY CARS.
Forget the fact the cars are copy cats in reality everything for sale is copied from something else. Lets talk about real issues of the car what kind of engine does it have? Does it get good gas mileage? Is it ecosafe? Safety, blue book value, etc… These are the kind of questions that consumers will care about when buying the car. So unless the cars fly or are round in shape they are all a copy of one another.So let the pety fools who would rather pay a huge price for a name on their clothes and cars. In the end its the reliablity of the product that counts.
Did you guys see the American & Eropean clone PANDA Bear? It looks exactly like the real one from China…..
Look on the bright side, if you smash it or somthing goes “wong” take it to the chineese restraunt and they will fix a cracked engine block with a little sticky rice!!!
There is no real debate here- the Chinese are not selling their knock-offs as authentic “BMW” or “Mercedes”, as they do with other items. If these copies are quality products, then they will sell and the market will grow- the public should have the opportunity to buy them. If they are poor quality, containing lead, date-rape drug, etc., then people won’t buy them, the Chinese manufacturing infrastructure will begin to crumble, and they will wage war with the rest of the world in the valley of Armageddon- it’s as simple as that.
Gee, What a surprise.China copying other companies product’s and designs. Wake up world, there are few products produced there with any originality. They are the copy cat nation, using almost low paying slave labor to produce products to eventually sell to the West ultimately weaking our dollar and economy. Be nice if they would purchase the real McCoy from the real delvelopers and producers of products and feed our economies.
Whoa there are a lot of racist comments here. Don’t buy these copies then, people! WIthout the demand, there stops the supply. Just simply don’t buy anything made in China, if you can.
The Chinese have poisend and killed our Dogs and cats with their food imported here also look at the many toys with lead paint that Mattel and others are recalling all made in China, not to mention all the phoney copies of nationally known watches they copy. Most of the stuff from there is crap! Sure it may be shiny and pretty for a while but its a copy, not made to our standards, cheaply done, GARBAGE!
I would’nt buy a car from China, the wheels might fall off, or even worse the engine could explode!
This is fraud its time they used their brains and became original. theft is cheating there’s no respect for copycat designs.
I love asian women everyone needs to lighten up

You should care! We could make the same crap and unreliable items here in the US. We have learned how to manage our product safety and that costs money. Why do you live here in the States, when you could work in China or India and buy cheap products there. You live here pin head because this is the greatest country on the planet. If you don’t think so or don’t care to support this country then please go…we won’t miss you!
yaaaa…asian women are under priced too!
If they are clearly marked that this is not an original but a knock off and it’s a safe car - who cares. You know it’s a fake. Some people will still spend the big bucks to get the real thing.
will these cars be soled in america
Come on wake up… If you don’t want somebody to know where your birth mark is you don’t put a picture of it on the computer so that the world knows.Computers are great for some things but they are also fantastic for crooks…Get smart people be very very careful of what you put on that computer…
When you re sitting in a wheelchair from a side impact into your driver s door , you ll have a lot of time to understand what a fool you were to buy a cheap copy of quality engineering .
