Chinese copycat of Jimny spied before launch, but this is an EV!
Ahead of the official reveal, the pictures of the upcoming car show how it resembles the design of the Suzuki Jimny three-door and even the Ford Bronco, which are already on sale in the international market. This is the first time that the car was spotted without any camouflage. The Baojun, owned by SIAC, produced the heavily-inspired Boujan Yep. However, there is a significant difference in the powertrain when compared to the Jimny.
The Boujan Yep is an all-electric vehicle with no Internal Combustion Engine (ICE). It has a certified range of 303 km on a full charge, but the technical specifications of the car are not yet available on public websites. The Boujan Yep measures only 3,381mm in length, 1,685mm in width and 1,721mm in height. The wheelbase is 2,110mm while the weight is only 1,006 kg according to Electrek.

Haval Xianglong SUV is a Land Rover Defender copycat from China
The Haval Xianglong will be a copycat of the iconic Land Rover Defender that is slated for launch in the latter half of the year. Haval is a Chinese carmaker owned by Great Wall Motor (GWM) which also owns Wey and Ora. It is one of the biggest conglomerates in China. The SUVs from Haval are quite prominent in many international markets. In fact, last year, there were reports of Haval even wanting to enter India with one of its SUVs. However, the plans didn’t reach fruition. Nevertheless, it has now announced Xianglong which is heavily inspired by the iconic Land Rover Defender of the past.
The large SUV has a design language that many would instantly associate with the iconic Land Rover Defender in its previous generations. At the front, there is a colossal rectangular grille with HAVAL written across it, upright bonnet, round headlamps encapsulated inside a square housing much like the Mercedes G-Wagon, sturdy bumper and skid plate area which is reminiscent of the Defender, the clamshell bonnet design and a boxy silhouette. On the sides, the similarities become more apparent with a boxy pattern at the rear, curve-less side panel, functional roof rails, stylish alloy wheels, and window frames that look straight out of the latest Defender. It measures 4,800 mm in length, 1,916 mm in width, 1,822 mm in height and 2,739 mm in wheelbase.
Since Haval is a sub-brand of GWM, it features the latter’s hybrid powertrains. These include a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid engine with a 94 hp electric motor at the front and 201 hp electric motor at the rear AND a 1.5-litre turbo petrol hybrid engine that has a 108 hp electric motor at the front and 201 hp electric motor at the rear. There is a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery that allows 105 km of pure electric driving range which is great for a full hybrid car. The AWD configuration allows great off-roading capabilities.
