Chinese car maker Land Wind are set to launch their Land Wind X7 in China shortly much to the anger of Jaguar Land Rover bosses who say the car is a clone of the Evoque!
Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth has spoken out against the Chinese Land Wind X7 which he claims breaches intellectual properly laws. As seen in these photos, the $25,000 Land Wind could easily pass as the luxury Land Rover Evoque that costs more than 3 times as much in China.
Gizchina News of the week
Land Rover have recently set up a joint venture with Chinese auto maker Chery which will see the Evoque along with other Jaguar and Land Rover cars manufactured in China. This teaming with Chery (a government owned Chinese car maker) could be the muscle that JLR will need if planning to take Land Wind to court over an IP dispute.
This is the second time we have seen the Evoque get the knock off treatment in China, and likely wonβt be the last time we see a clone car make headlines.

The Reason i will always drive german cars π

Last year.
A 2011 Geely Emgrand was tested by euro ncap and scored 4 stars.
Why not give him the link to the CNCAP website, where he could see for himself the progress that has been made the past 8 or so years. Currently most new chinese cars have a safety score similar to western cars. (some exceptions).

I think one of the best since now is qoros 3 sedan for security reason
Land Wind. Lol. The Chinese clones come out with such epic clone names.
Landwind has been making SUV long before Ford came up with a Range Rover Evoque
range rover does not belong to ford
Ford bought Land Land Rover from BMW and sold it to Tata Motors India five years ago.
Who the hell cares? This website should be about phones, not cars

The Landwind X7’s interior looks better than the Evoque.

*Intellectual not interllectual – the irony..
Love China. I hope the Chinese industries fu.ck every western company’s happiness like this – right from Autos, to Phones and consumer electronics, and everything in between. The pricing gradient is tilting, and 10 years down the line, China has the ability to pretty much rape and decimate the global brands with its homegrown offerings. I have a feeling it will happen, and I can’t wait. Long live China.
how about no? why do you want, that a country will more successful than yours? i want to see you without a job because a china man do it for less money π
The people need income not jobs !. The work is for the machines and the profit of the automation of all industries must to be for everyone that play like a good citizen. not just for a minority.

Seriously, tell me where I can purchase this car. It looks really exquisite to be honest. But I don’t know how rugged it will be and how good will be its off road capabilities.
