That was debuted in 2015, my friend. Now I consider you for a fair voice in here, much better than those Indian who we all know their country doesn't have any global brand to be discuss so their obvious jealousy is to be understand. So let talk.
Let me ask you, why do you think Chinese brand is being target by the West media? I don't mind if Chinese brand get accused of copying if there is a apparaent fairness in the treatment to all copycat but why Chinese brand is being single out the most. You want to talk about copy, then tell me what is the difference between these cars brand.
2012 Honda Civic
2012 Kia Forte
Mitsubishi i-MIEV
(in case people wondering, that our friend Indian Tata car) LOLOL
Bentley Mulsanne
Chrysler 300
Ford Edge
Range Rover Evoque
LOLOL
So my friend, please explain to me why these countries car don't get accuse of copying??
Why? Because the success of China will prove that the western democracy is not "the end of history", which directly challenges the very core of their value system that West has been preaching to the rest of world for a couple of hundred years. So everything about China must be under the most strict scrutiny.
They can't bear the thought that China Model is actually becoming a viable alternative to western democracy.

Western democracy is destroying developing countries.

I think we all know the reason why cars nowadays are getting very similar. It has to do with CAD design standardization. The fact of the matter is the Chinese manufacturers are very aggressive in term of producing new car and thus some of the emerging car brands (even we don't know ourselves) are introducing cars and this small local guys got flag by Western media because of the western car industry fear of competition in China. Basically they are ganging up against the local Chinese car player to protect their business interest in China rather than accusing their foreign peers of copying one another.
Search up the name on google.
Like I said, the motive behind western scrutiny is very clear but we should take their criticism and improve upon the design. I also think the Chinese govt needs to do more to protect the big brand like BYD and such from the local small quick profit car manufacturers as well.
You mean the German car company that cheated customer over the emission data? Such poor ethics.
There is a concept in business strategy called industry convergence, where the gradual homogenization of products within an industry is caused by use of common suppliers, use of common sub-contractors, use of common outsourcing and use of other common resources. CAD is one such resource.
To avoid industry convergence whilst remaining competitive in a global market is increasingly difficult, the automotive industry is one example.
No, I buy BMW, but I'm sure if I looked hard enough they too would have probably pulled a fast one at some point.

You want China to be a good boy or "responsible member of international community", but they can always use "human right" issue to whip you. Chinese government has been taking IP issue very seriously, but it doesn't hurt to deprive those loudest mouths from accessing Chinese market, that's how China nurtured Baidu, Alibaba, Weibo, Wechat to compete with Google, Amazon, Twitter, FB, etc.

China's auto industry is following the same path of development as Japanese/Korean cars. However, they have one main advantage over their rivals= China's growing consumer class. The huge amount of capital gained in China's market allows them to invest heavily in R & D and to sell cheaper in overseas markets. Chinese are rich now, did you know Furious 7 made $390 million there? One day, they'll be a force to be reckoned with. Look at Alibaba, Lenovo, Huawei and Xiaomi, these companies were mocked as Made In China crap and are now leaders in their technological field.

China targets 35 million vehicle sales by 2025, NEVs to make up one-fifth
Reuters April 25, 2017

BEIJING/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China is targeting 35 million vehicle sales by 2025 and wants new energy vehicles (NEVs) to make up at least one-fifth of that total, the industry ministry said on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said in a market "road map" that China's urbanization drive and the overseas expansion of its automakers would help drive annual vehicle sales up around 25 percent from last year's total.
Automakers in China, the world's largest automobile market with sales of 28 million vehicles in 2016, are increasingly pushing into electric and hybrid vehicles to meet stringent new government quotas.
Sales of new energy vehicles should reach 2 million by 2020 and account for more than 20 percent of total vehicle production and sales by 2025, the ministry said. That implied annual NEV sales of over 7 million within the next decade.
Green energy car sales have risen dramatically on the back of government policies, but still represented less than 2 percent of China's overall auto market last year.
The government body also said it would push to create local champions in the industry who would be increasingly competitive with overseas rivals in China as well as in overseas markets.
"The quality of Chinese brand vehicles has clearly risen, while brand recognition, reputation and global influence are much stronger," the MIIT said. "By 2025, we should have some Chinese vehicle brands that are in the global Top 10 by sales."
China's domestic automakers, including SAIC and Geely Automobile Holdings Co, are already challenging better-known global rivals with new models and marketing strategies.
MIIT added it would look to loosen rules on foreign joint ventures in the market. Currently, overseas carmakers, such as General Motors or Nissan Motor Co, are limited to a 50 percent state in a China JV.
"We will loosen joint venture ownership restrictions in an orderly manner," MIIT said, without elaborating about a time frame or what stake foreign carmakers may be able to own.
The ministry added that Chinese carmakers would also look to increase exports to developed nations over the next decade, and improve battery technology for electric vehicles.

Guangzhou Automobile Group, a major automobile manufacturer based in Guangdong province, said it had begun construction of a large industrial park for new energy and intelligent connectivity vehicles, aiming to boost its business amid the booming domestic demand for the environmentally friendly cars.
"Development of new energy vehicles, connected with intelligent technology, and unmanned vehicles, will be an industrial trend in the next five to 10 years. We will make great efforts to meet the market change," said Feng Xingya, general manager of GAC Group.
GAC Group, a Fortune 500-listed company, will develop the industrial park in Guangzhou's Panyu district, which consists of manufacturing, core auto parts and leading technological research of new energy cars, according to Feng.
"By building the intelligent industrial park, we are aiming to become the industrial leader in manufacturing of new energy vehicles," said Feng.
With a designed area of about 5 million square meters and an investment of more than 45 billion yuan ($6.52 billion), the industrial park will feature smart manufacturing, innovative technology research and development of an ecological town.
Construction of the first phase of the industrial park will be finished by the end of 2018, with a designed production capacity of 200,000 new energy vehicles a year, according to the company.
"We will join hands with industrial leaders in the new energy vehicle sector to facilitate development of the industrial park," said Feng.
By the end of 2025, construction of the industrial park will be completely finished, according to Feng.
The development of new energy cars is part of China's strategic industrial plans and the domestic demand for new energy vehicles has kept growing in recent years, with estimated sales of about 2 million units by 2020, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
In March alone, production of sales of new energy vehicles reached 33,015 units and 31,120 units respectively, increasing 30.9 percent and 35.6 percent year-on-year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.
According to Yu, GAC Motor, a subsidiary of the GAC Group, will launch four new varieties of new energy cars in 2017.
"After big sales of traditional vehicles in recent years, we are positioning ourselves to develop more new energy cars in the near future," said Yu.
GAC Motor, which was founded in 2008, focuses on research and development of homegrown vehicles. It sold more than 380,000 cars in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 96 percent, making it become one of the fastest-growing domestic brands.
Chen Shihua, assistant secretary general of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said domestic automobile manufacturer's shift to development of new energy vehicles will help create sustainable business growth.
"As the core technologies for new energy cars including batteries, electric motors and controlling improve, there will be a booming market demand for high-quality new energy vehicles," said Chen.

China’s Beijing WKW Automotive Parts Co. is betting on the future of electric mobility in Germany with a billion-euro factory nearby plants owned by Volkswagen AG and BMW AG.
Beijing WKW will invest as much as 1.13 billion euros ($1.24 billion) on an electric car factory in the eastern state of Saxony that will create over 1,000 new jobs, according to a statement by the regional government on Thursday. Saxony courted WKW to set up manufacturing in the state to produce “premium” electric cars, according to the statement.
“Saxony is already a car state and we want that to remain so in the future,” regional Economy Minister Martin Dulig said. WKW hopes to benefit from a “Made in Germany” cachet for marketing its cars, Ministry spokesman Marco Henkel said by telephone on Thursday. WKW hasn’t requested state aid, he said.
The Chinese company’s investment is occurring just as German carmakers gear up to boost production of electric vehicles. Saxony is already home to plants owned by Volkswagen and BMW. WKW will benefit from proximity to about 750 car part suppliers in the region, according to the statement.
Volkswagen has production sites in Zwickau and Chemnitz in the Saxony, while Porsche SE builds it Cayenne, Macan and Panamera models in Leipzig. BMW says it has one of its most modern plants in the same city, where it’s built electric cars since 2013.

Beijing WKW, 25 percent owned by Germany’s WKW Erbsloh Automotive GmbH, will invest through its subsidiary Delon Automotive GmbH to develop and manufacture the vehicles, according to company filing on Wednesday. Calls to the company’s investor relations department are not answered outside of regular office hours.
Wuppertal-based WKW-Erbsloeh Automotive GmbH won’t be providing financing for the project in Saxony, company spokeswoman Monika Kocks said by phone on Thursday.
The announcement was met with skepticism by German automotive analyst Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer from the University of Duisburg-Essen’s Center for Automotive Research.WKW is a medium-sized parts supplier without the competency to build cars and German wage levels are prohibitive, according to the analyst
“It’s very hard to imagine innovative design coming from the plan,” Dudenhoeffer said. “This is a big announcement but will it ever see the light of day? I have my doubts.”

nio ep nrburgring lap record nurburgring
The quickest street-legal car to lap the Nürburgring is electric.
The initial batch of six EP9 production cars was reserved for company investors, but Nio plans to build a second batch of 10 cars for the general public, priced at $1.48 million each. It’s unclear whether any of these cars will actually make it to the U.S., but Nio does plan to have a presence here in the future.
- Watch Porsche’s 2018 911 GT3 blitz the Nurburgring in 7:12.7
- King of the ‘Ring! Lamborghini’s latest just smashed the Nürburgring lap record
- The Nio EP9 is not only the fastest electric car, it’s the fastest self-driving car
