Shuanghuan

Shuanghuan Auto was a Chinese car manufacturer, founded in 1988 and based in Hebei Province. The brand became known for producing low-cost SUVs and minivans, but gained international attention (and criticism) for designs that closely resembled Western models. The Shuanghuan CEO looked strikingly similar to the BMW X5, while the Shuanghuan Noble strongly resembled the Smart Fortwo.

These similarities led to several lawsuits and controversies over copyright and design copying. Despite low prices and attempts to expand into Europe and other markets, Shuanghuan failed to achieve lasting success and ceased production around 2016.
