And the host for these copycats is Shandong Fengde company.

It is not strange to see something copied in China. This time, two clones of the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the Range Rover Evoque have been caught here. And the host for these copycats is Shandong Fengde company. It is such a great bravery when the company dared to place the clone besides the real Mercedes-Benz GLE. The “Chinese Mercedes-Benz GLE” looks almost the same as the real unit, except for a tall-boxed and exaggerated exterior design.

The fake Mercedes EV comes equipped with AMG diamond grille with chrome pins, roof rails

According to the photos from Carscoop, the fake Mercedes EV comes equipped with AMG diamond grille with chrome pins, roof rails, Mercedes-Benz-inspired twin-louvered grille, a sunroof, halogen headlamps and grossly undersized wheels.

Stepping inside, the Mercedes-Benz GLE clone gets some basic features like climate control, a plastic 3-spoke steering wheel, touchscreen infotainment system and digital instrument cluster.

Speaking of the Range Rover Evoque clone, it is also just a copy and shows the same imperfection as the GLE clone. It features a tall and bulky body. Inside, well, it comes with a bit surprise as its cabin looks almost the same as the GLE copy with major parts wrapped by grey plastics.

As for the size, the Evoque clone measures around 3,450 mm in length, 1,550 mm in width and 1,630 mm in height. It is powered by a 73V, 4,000W electric engine which needs from 6 to 8 hours to be fully charged. It reaches a top speed at 50 km/h and the cruising range rated at 120 km. 

Last but not least, these SUVs get a starting price of US$3,900 (equivalent to about P205,000).

Do you think there will be also copied variants of the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo and Bugatti Chiron from Shandong Fengde in the near future?
