Range Rover Makers Had This To Say About The Fake Chinese Range Rover Expected To Hit The Streets

If you are an ardent user of social Media and like your daily dose of business dailies you have come across Range Rover’s Chinese knock-off known as the Land Wind X7. Just like all Chinese fake  products, this car has an uncanny,blatant resemblance to the original.

What’s worse the knock-off goes for a lot less than the Range Rover Evoque, 3.56 Million Kshs  to be exact.According to Autocar,Land Rover the makers of the Range Rover Evoque are not too pleased about this move by China and had this to say :

“The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing. The simple principal is that it is not something that should happen; the intellectual property is owned by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in breach of international regulations that apply around the world.

As a company we have invested heavily in China with our joint venture partner Chery. That commitment is based on a clear business plan that allows us to hit our sales targets at clear prices. Anything that damages the potential profitability of our plant damages the integrity of those plans.

I will talk to our officials and I will talk to our partners at Chery to find a way around this situation. I cannot imagine Chinese officials will be happy at any actions that undermine the credibility of the country. What we have seen today is not correct.”

 According to Auto Car,the Land Wind is a creation by esteemed Chinese car makers Changan Auto and Jiangling Motors Corporation. Changan Auto on of China’s top car makers have tried in the past to sell yet another counterfeit automobile, the LandWind CV9.A car that had a brazen semblance to Vauxhall Frontera .

It was sold in Europe but after failing Euro NCAP crash tests, it had to be pulled from the market.
