Thats a Land Wing X7 from China... Cynically copied by Land Rover as the Evoque or I might have that the wrong way around

I think its fair to say there's one or two folks at Landrover that aren't too impressed by this 
The lawyers will be working overtime, It would be interesting to see what would happen if somebody tried to import one over here....

Interesting that they did the same with BMW X5, they took it to court and the Chinese judge found that although it was identical, there appears to be
no law against copying anything over there.
I guess LR will know that and makes lots of noise but not expecting them to back down. Just because the exterior looks the same it will not be
anything llike a real one

Apparently this Chinese company is ultimately owned by Ford a few steps up the parent company ladder. The same Ford that also owns Land Rover. I
don't think much will happen about this.

Ford doesnt own Land Rover anymore, its been TATA since 2008, and I suspect the Evoque was designed under the Tata regime.

Ford don't own LandRover/Jaguar any more. They sold it to Tata several years ago.
