Yep it's a Chinese car......LR is outraged...

Thats rubberee..a counterfeit ewok....what could possibly be worse? GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus
HAVE 1999 Discovery 2 GS 4.0 V8 - Silver - Off Road Toy
GONE 2013 L405 4.4 SDV8 Vogue. Black with Silver roofline and 22" s
HAVE 2015 Jaguar XF.

Is it just me that finds it mildly interesting that the Chinese haven't bothered copying the Freelander, Discovery, Defender, RRS or FFRR yet they copy the Ewok

Is it perhaps a nod to the customer base which they know is out there - thems who appreciate bling before substance?

Just saying

here is some more info

I guess if you are only 4ft 11in tall the ewok wing thing looks mahoosive

Why is China gets away with this kind of thing could it be nuclear or financial....

In the engineering world the talk is always around the nuclear / power / energy side of this argument...

Regardless of all that....you have to admire the balls of this.....and there are take aways all over the UK still trying to produce Chinese food as well as the real thing...

BTW....looks better than a FL and RRS

I just read the autocar report too....so the 2.0 TD 188bhp is now "underpowered".....but the 2.2td 190bhp that the evoque runs isn't...and the vastness of the 5cm increase in height and 1cm length increase will simply make it feel sluggish....

what a load of western - loath it all you like, it probably drives badly too....BUT they actually built it and it will likely sell more than all of LR's fleet put together... Is this where I put the car details and a bit about myself ?........

Does anyone remember the X5 copy covered by ? Fifth gear? Top Gear ?

LR can't let them get away with this

I think it was the Landwind X6 that got a zero safety rating

Well if JLR are opening a car plant in China with 'Chery' what do they expect?

'The British manufacturer has just opened its first car factory in China in a venture with local firm Chery. '

and:

'Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Dr Ralf Speth told Autocar magazine: ‘The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing. The intellectual property (IP) is owned by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in breach of international regulations.’

Since when has breaching international regulations ever stopped the Chinese?

We are all being screwed into the ground over reducing carbon emissions and yet China are building a new coal fired power station every couple of days!

Like the comment that the copy has a better infotainment screen though There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t
