New photos of the Landwind X7, a Chinese clone of the Range Rover Evoque. The Landwind X7, formerly known as the Landwind E32, will debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month and will be launched on the Chinese car market in March 2015. Price will start around 120.000 yuan or $19.600.

Price for the Range Rover Evoque starts at 528.000 yuan and ends at 668.000 yuan ($86.300 – 109.200).

Land Rover however is working hard to start local production in a joint venture with Chery Automobile, which will bring price down to about 425.000 yuan. Fuzzily, the China-made Range Rover Evoque will debut on the very same Guangzhou Auto Show, so the two can connect.

The x7 will be powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 190hp and 250nm, mated to a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. The X7 is based on a shortened variant of the platform that also underpins the Landwind X8.

Landwind is a Chinese car maker jointly owned by Jiangling Motors and Changan Auto, coincidentally (0r not?) both joint venture partners of Ford, with Jiangling-Ford and Changan-Ford respectively. Ford owned Land Rover/Range Rover until 2008 when they sold it on to the Indian TATA conglomerate

Checking sides. There are a few differences. Really.

1) The mirrors of the X7 are in the same color as the roof, whereas the mirrors of the Evoque are in the same color as the body.

2) The X7 has a chrome strip running under windows. The Evoque does not.

3) The X7 has a roof rack. The Evoque does not.

Otherwise they are pretty much exactly the same.

Green car very hip. Bright colors go great on clone cars.

Checking the rear. One notable difference:

1) The third brake light of the X7 is red when not engaged, whereas the third brake light of the Evoque is white when not engaged.

Otherwise they are pretty much exactly the same.

All attention now to the Guangzhou Auto Show for the battle of the clone. May the best Range Rover win!
