As part of a car dealership in Guangzhou, a lot of interesting and unusual prime ministers took place. Nevertheless, many experts and journalists attracted the stand on which the representatives of Jiangling and Changan companies presented their brainchild.
The name of this car is Landwind X7, and is a representative of the SUV class, that is, a crossover. But it attracted not his unique appearance, some characteristics or features. Although there is a certain feature, and it was she who caused the scandal broken after the exhibition.
The fact is that Lebward X7 clearly resembles another car - Range Rover Evoque. And not just outwardly, but even internally. It caused serious concern about the company Land Rover.. They are outraged as brazen copying their premium Crossoverand will demand to prohibit sales chinese clone In all markets.
However, if you pay attention to other similar claims that served the leading automakers on the company from China, which copied them famous modelsThe Chinese side often went out of the water. In the courts dealt with the production of Ford, BMW. But everything ended peacefully. Moreover, now BMW and Ford are actively cooperating with Chinese automakers. The market is too promising to quarrel with him.
As for the models under the name LandWind, they first appeared in 2005. Prior to that, Jiangling was engaged in the production of body elements for commercial vehicles, and in 1997 released its version of the Transit model together with Ford.
Not everyone knows, but now this company is engaged in sales of minivans, SUVs and universal in Europe. They are little known, but the most popular models are LandWind.
Lanwend X7 2015-2016 appeared for the first time in the summer of the current year and its presentation came across the autowver in Guangzhou. Let's try to find out what interesting lies behind this title.
Exterior
In principle, if you know how Renge Rover Evok looks like, it will not be necessary to go into the details of the appearance of the Chinese clone.
Nevertheless, it does not take an interesting front part from the Chinese auto industry with a small flare with a radiator lattice, decorated with chrome-plated crossbar and a manufacturer's nameplate in the center, alone optics, stylish LED fog lamps Over the bumper, as well as plastic protection in front.
Side view - Well, exactly Evok. Almost the same lines, the same roof form, the same doors. Everything is successfully condicted, has pleasant outlines. The abundance of black plastic in the body finish does not spoil the impression. Plastic protection around the perimeter of the body, in the wheeled arches makes a car similar to a full-fledged SUV. But still dimensions lower it in the class of urban crossovers.
The rear can boast of stylish optics, quite large, nevertheless convenient for loading and unloading the lid of the trunk. The powerful spoiler, complemented by a stop signal, is located on the top of the glass of the luggage door, and very well complements the image. Well, diluted by two corners nozzles exhaust system give the image of dynamism and sportiness.
It is better to see the photos and video materials related to LandWind X7 to understand how strong is the similarity with the British automaker. In principle, if you remove the nameplate of the Chinese company and put on its place British, then few will distinguish the car.
Interior
There are no surprises in the interior because he is also taken from Euch.
Large radii on dashboard, interesting climatic system deflectors, multifunctional steering wheel, comfortable rear-view mirror, good trim.
All this causes positive emotions when looking at the interior of the crossover.
There are even certain moments in which Chinese managed to exceed his "fellow". And this can be noticed on the center console, which in LandWind X7 adorns a large touch multimedia display, the dimensions of which exceeded the screen installed in Evoque.
Equipment and prices
Unfortunately, so far there is no information about the car picking. Although it is unlikely in the near future it will be relevant to us.
The thing is that the manufacturer does not intend to withdraw its version of Evok to the international market. Perhaps, after some time, it will be possible to see the first samples of Landwind X7 on our roads, but officially does not say anything about it. No wonder for a presentation was chosen a car dealership in China. The mystery market will be the only one, where sales will be put.
Most likely, this is due at all with the uncertainty of LandWind X7, since the car looks very attractive on all sides. The problem in the Land Rover, which can simply prohibit selling a copy of his premium crossover in Europe and not only. In addition, considering the frank plagiarism, at the British automaker this can succeed successfully.
Well, and Chinese motorists will rejoice, because from March next year sales start starting the most interesting crossover. The starting cost of the copy of the Evok is 120 thousand yuan, which is equal about 19 thousand dollars. For comparison, Evoque supplied from Europe costs about 530 thousand yuan. The difference in price three times with a minimum difference in appearance and the cabin will clearly help to be bowed to many in the direction of the Chinese crossover.
Specifications
In respect of technical Equipment The LandWind X7 manufacturer even managed to surpass his opponent. Of course, if we talk about the initial engine. EVOK goes with a 150-strong engine in the database. And lebward h7 has only one engine without the possibility of choice. But what.
This is two-liter gasoline force aggregatewhich is equipped with turbocharged and issues a total of an impressive 190 horse power. A pair of him can make a six-speed mechanic, or an eight-stage automatic, depending on the choice of the buyer.
Despite serious power, in terms of the dynamics of the crossover from China will be quite average by supremacy. However, such disadvantages easily overlap with the explicit advantages of the model.
Output
Making some conclusions regarding the car LandWind X7 2015-2016 is quite difficult. On the one hand, the manufacturer brazenly copied not only appearance, but also the salon at the famous and popular car. At the same time, apparently, he does not feel much and intends to reach the international arena and sell his crossover including in Europe.
On the other hand, the car is frankly beautiful and attractive. Let it receive familiar to many outlines of the body and even almost a similar salon, however, the cost in the ratio with quality causes delight and the desire to become the owner of such a car. If someone is ashamed to ride on chinese version Premium British SUV, you can simply change the nameplates ahead and rear, and few different your LandWind X7 from the original Range Rover Evoque. Yes, and the difference in the price of three times this favors.
It will be interesting to see what this crossover from the Middle Kingdom is in practice. If all of the above is true, then the company is simply obliged to bring his brainchild to us, to Russia. Obviously, Lenvyb's fans among compatriots will be a great set.
The wise Chinese producers realized one fact, to take the European creators of the exterior - just useless. Therefore, the developers of the Middle Kingdom went intelligent and cunning way - decided to create copies of the most successful models. What happened, a majestic and powerful SUV was created - LandWind X7. This car has become a worthy second proposal in the brand line. Unfortunately, the company is still working exclusively in the Chinese market, and does not officially sell its own cars in other countries, although in Russia there are already two happy owners of this model.
Titled critics and noble experts from many countries agreed that the created analogue of Range Rover Evoque was not worse than the original, and in some moments even superior to his "blood brother" - a British crossover, because he looks truly elitely. By the way, such a blow under the bottom Renger Rover Evok did not expect anywhere, and while patent proceedings and shock recipients will be held, LandWind will have a lot of time to make sales of Chinese handsome LandWind X7.
Detailed LandWind X7 Design
LandWind X7 has become one of the most popular developments of Chinese engineers. And while the price of LandWind X7 in Russia is only agreed, but motorists have already managed to buy it without warranty. Colorful photos of which the Chinese Range Rover boasts boasts, is already rapidly conquering the Internet, and direct buyers admire the peculiarities of the appearance of the charming crossover:- a copied model of the British manufacturer, of course, discourages, with such scholars, Chinese opponents will be difficult to sue;
- although the cost of such a car is close to the original, for there is something to be proud of;
- minor refreshments in design make the Landwind X7 extravagant crossover;
- it is worth noting that the Chinese developers did not forget about the inner comfort of the cabin, providing the driver and passengers with remarkable high-class seats;
- a copied model of Rover Rover Evok, practically as two drops are similar to each other, but still has several interesting improvements.
This car created a furor in his homeland, where the Chinese Land Rover was nicknamed, and found himself in the center of the scandal. As expected in such cases, developers chinese cars, conquering vertices automotive market, Divided the car enthusiasts of Russia into two camps. The first half in one voice stated that the development of mechanical engineering in the east would take a leading position in the global society, as well as admired the beautiful design of LandWind X7. The second half argued that this transport was doomed to failure and would not have a future, and what to develop their cars. But in order not to scream a jamble crowd, and the expert critics X7 know the weighty arguments in the proof of their rightness.
Company coherence - Successful LandWind X7 crossover assembly
Looking at the charming appearance of the SUV, and also at the hood of the LandWind X7 under the hood, it is possible to realize that the flight engineering thought of Chinese developers captures its ingenuity. The corporation offers its admirers a great technique. When developing a copy of Rover, certain points would be taken into account, which would be useful to the original. If from photographs, scandalous development, itifies power and sympathy, then technical Side Auto stand out by such parameters:- the Chinese SUV was equipped with an exceptional engine with a volume of 2 liters and a capacity of 190 horsepower;
- LandWind X7 is notable with impeccable gearboxes, in mechanical design by 6 ranges, as well as automatic - in 8 steps;
- one of the advantages of this SUV has become a shortened base, in contrast to its overall original;
- in addition to the main advantages, Chinese developers have implemented many convenient economic advantages;
- such design features raised the SUV of the highest level, which helped to become an interesting and demanded in his homeland.
Not only Chinese engineers, but also Japanese professionals together with European designers contributed to the development of a promising car. Given that the development of Lenvynder X7 cost the concern in a round sum, the price of Lenvynd X7 does not differ much from the British original. But still many are waiting for this model with impatience, because a worthy SUV costs that.
Chinese operating experience LandWind X7
I am sure if Landwind X7 is lucky enough to get to the Russian market officially, he will produce a furor, and the buyers will not be a penalty. LandWind X7 is two times cheaper than the real Renger Rover Evok, which cannot but rejoice consumers. In the photo, the car looks simply gorgeous, and the main parameters are pleased with any motorist. Therefore, the Corporation does not doubt the popularity of its novelty in the homeland, especially, buyers who purchased the car emphasize such main characteristics of lebward x7:- LandWind X7 turned out to be much better than other models of the Chinese manufacturer;
- the car is sufficiently comfortable and is not inferior to the quality of the trip on the original;
- note that X7 has fascinating technologies that give pleasure from the trip;

We draw conclusions
Many people are confident that the technique produced in China, and next to the popular brands that are famous for their comfort and reliability. And, after all, cars unforesed became much better. It would be difficult to introduce an SUV, which is compared with the original from the Land Rover, a couple of years ago.To date, the prototype of the British model occupies a leading position, gives excellent opportunities potential buyers. At the moment, the further fate of the Chinese Rover is not known, but Russia will look forward to this model.

One of the most controversial premieres of the past few years, many car critics called the announcement of a premium crossover, "broken down" in the automotive forum in Chinese Guangzhou at the end of 2014. The thing is that the model presented almost completely repeats its appearance and interior decoration British Bestseller, which entailed avalanche of discussions and disputes after the premiere held.
However, if at first the loud scandal and serious litigation seemed inevitable, after a few months the Land Rover leadership had his claims, silently approved the serial release of the "Chinese". Perhaps one of the conditions for obtaining such consent was the promise of the Chinese company's manufacturing company to limit the sale of new ones in the Intracatai market, however, in this consolation for JLR was not enough, because the British in the same year in 2014 have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the opening of production in China of this Evoque .
Most likely, having received a consultation on the futility of such a claim, the JLR decided to wait a more appropriate moment. In addition, the Chinese Patent Office withdrew the patents on the design of the car as in Evoque (in view of the fact that the car was freely shown in other countries to register an exclusive right to intellectual property in the PRC - an explanation, a possible only in consecutive) and Clone - LandWind X7 (and here because of the "close" with an Evoque of the appearance).
Gemini outside
The car was the result of joint developments of engineers Jiangling Motors and Changan Auto and really very much like EVOQUE in all respects, starting with the overall body architecture and ending with separate elements of the appearance design.
Only comparing two crossovers very closely to find differences. chinese car From his more famous counterpart. Among the few differences can be called a small radiator lattice LandWind X7, decorated in the middle of a chrome-plated crossbar with the manufacturer's emblem. Head optics are ejected at the top of the front wings, creating a kind of "nasturn" machine. Fog lights of unusual geometry are separated along the edges of the central part of the bumper.
Like Rangerover Evoque, LandWind X7 has an accented roof slope to the rear body racks and rising to the stern of the suboofer line. Thanks to such a designer solution, the car looks like sports assembly and dynamically. High windows line does not add a practicality machine, but does exterior appearance more stylish.
No less bright novelty looks at the back. A developed spoiler over a narrow strip of the fifth door window received a LED brake signal. In addition, the LED filling has compact overall lights. The lower part of the body of the Landvind X7 is covered with protective unpainted plastic.
Looking at the body of the crossover, it becomes noticeable far from the perfect fit of the elements. The most uneven got the joints of plastic body details. External dimensions X7 indicate its belonging to the class of popular recently compact crossovers. The length of the car was 4,420 mm, its width is 1 910 mm, the crossover height is 1,630 mm. Wheelbase "Chinese" stacked at 2,760 mm. Small ground clearance In 168 mm will not allow the owner of the machine to go far from the asphalt. For comparison, dimensions Evoque: 4 365 x 1 900 x 1 635 mm, wheelbase 2 660 mm, clearance 215 mm.
... and inside
The Landwind X7 five-seater salon will not be surprised by anything special, although it will not work face to the quality of interior decoration and ergonomics. The interior architecture is performed in the spirit of all the same Rangerover Evoque. The main place on the center console is assigned a 10.2-inch color touchscreen multimedia system. A small climatic installation unit with a compact display and a pair of "twilight" is located just below.
Modern steering wheel Written with genuine leather combined coloring and slightly closed at the bottom. Dashboard It looks concise and, perhaps, somewhat modest. At the same time, information from the shooting dial is read very well. The wide central tunnel is decorated with inserts under the ebony, on the left side on the console there is a junction button of the engine.
Front pair of seats provides a comfortable landing of the driver and the passenger of almost any complex. With convenience and passengers will be located rear seatsThe truth is the rear sofa, although it is designed for three people, will allow us to grasp only two passengers.
The trunk of the car, despite its small dimensions, is distinguished by good capacity, additional convenience provides a split back of the seats of the second row.
Equipment and engine
Even the basic version of the "Chinese" will delight with a rich configuration. Here are climate installation, cruise control, incinual system Starting the engine and access to the salon, the navigation system, the rear viewer, as well as a number of other functions. Optionally, the crossover can be equipped with no worse models of more eminent German and Japanese manufacturers.
As power plant LandWind X7 received a licensed 4-cylinder 2-liter engine - an analogue of the Mitsubishi 4G63S4T motor, equipped with a turbocharging system and distributed fuel injection. The proposed motor is able to develop maximum power in 190 hp And has a peak traction in 250 nm.
The future owners of LandWind X7 will be able to choose one of the two possible transmissions - a 6-speed mechanical unit and 8-range automatic gearbox. Drive for a car exclusively front. All-wheel drive crossover will not be ordered even optional.
The design of the machine is based on an original platform with an independent suspension with the front millson racks and a multi-dimensional system from the back. Steering is complemented electric amplifier, front pair brake mechanisms It has ventilated discs.
Price
This is probably the only parameter of two crossovers, which differs so obvious. Officially produced in China at the Land factory Rover Crossover Evoque goes to dealers at a price of $ 68,000 translated into US currency, while the price of LandWind X7, externally "similar to the degree of mixing", as they say in Russian legislation, is only from $ 19,600. Thus, there is an account 1 : 3, Well, in whose favor - to solve buyers. By the way, statistics says that in the PRC of Landwind X7, the most successful model in the history of the LandWind brand is currently generating 70% of all sales of the company.
