Land Rover plans to complain to Chinese officials a copy of his closest Evoque SUV that broke cover at the Guangzhou Motor Show in China last week, according to Autocar.
The X7 SUV, presented by the Chinese car maker Landwind, bears more than a resemblance to the Evoque, to the police and the positioning of the lettering on its hood.
The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing Rover CEO Ralf Speth said the Land Bus simple principle is that it is not something that should happen; the property is intellectual property by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in violation of applicable international regulations worldwide.
Autocar said the Landwind X7 is expected to enter this month in production and is expected to retail for the equivalent of 22,000 134 992 yuan in the Chinese market which is well below the starting price of the Evoque there, which is inflated well above its US starting price because of import duties.
Aren t similarities confined to the outer design, X7 is powered by a 2 0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder X5 Landwind - unrelated BMW X5 - which produces 188 hp and 184 lb -ft torque and is combined with a six-speed manual transmission or an automatic gearbox eight-speed.

I'll talk to our officials and I will speak to our Chery partners to find a way around this, Speth says I can not imagine Chinese officials will be happy to all actions that undermine the country's credibility What we saw today did okay.
The last high-level conflict between a Chinese carmaker accused woodwork design and engineering of western cars took place in 2004 at the time, General Motors has asked its Daewoo Matiz subcompact has been copied by the Chinese automaker Chery, which sold a similar car called the QQ-looking.
