Yeah, that title was more clickbait than a Vehicles Virgins video, but I can assure you that this chinese hyundai minivan is indeed an M5, but I didn’t say what kind of M5.
This abomination of chinese copyright laws is called the BYD M5 SongMPV, I discovered it while searching the BYD brand after seeing it in a youtube video. It looks as if someone just took a Kia Sedona, added on the Hyundai corporate face and a fat Lexus RX rear. That someones name is Wolfgang Egger. Does that name sound familiar? Thats because he was a designer for Alfa Romeo and Audi before joining BYD, here are some of the cars he designed:
And finally:
What the hell! The man who designed both the Audi R8 and the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (One of the only cars Jeremy Clarkson genuinely loves) couldn’t make any better design than that triple-ripoff of a Kia Sedona. Get your head in the game Wolfgang.

I would buy that if I had both the money and a matching E34 M5 Wagon

Yeah your younger than me by two years. I’m also commenting on oppo every now and then so that’s probably a reason why I haven’t found you yet

Come on, be objective. This car looks distinct from the other cars you listed.
It looks nothing like a kia or hyundai.
However, Geely’s MPV design steps all over BYD.

It’s probably because the brand lacks a clear brand identity, so he has to look for suitable things he like. For both Audi and Alfa Romeo he had both a clear brand identity and a (long) history to tap into.
That doesn’t mean he should be able to get away with this, though. Come on Wolfgang, you can do better!

For a moment there I thought in the second picture you posted of it there was a Jersey plate in the corner of the window and was very confused

It’s honestly just a rip-off of Toyota’s developing market Innova
