Korean. Jeep has it’s own market in China. Jeep is literally the Chinese copy of Jeep.

And I wouldn’t be surprised to find shared body & drivetrain components between the two. Chrysler/Hyundai/Mitsubishi alliances aren’t unheard-of.

Yeah that I know, but I mean the overall design looks more like some local Chinese shop did it.

And Chinese copy of Jeeps are actually BAIC... look up BAIC BJ40.

Basically a cheapo plastic clad i20

Kinja'd!!!

Oh, and here’s the “active” version, with less of that cheapo bumper cladding.

Kinja'd!!!

So I guess no one has shot the dumbass that came up with the idea to make all cars with fake floating rooves yet - grreat!

I can see the resemblance.

Plot twist- They’re all the same car.

Good call on the BAIC, thanks for pointing that out.

I mean, I don’t think the Kona looks bad ... or at least, not any worse than the Cherokee.

Or the Citroen Cactus, for that matter.

Well that’s . . . not what I expected. I was expecting something more conservative, like the i30. I have to say that is the worst plastic cladding I have ever seen.
