There is no question that when it comes to automotive clones from China, history repeats itself. Following in the footsteps of Mercedes-Benz’s China partner BAIC, which came out with a five-door hatchback closely resembling the Stuttgart firm’s B-Class, Brilliance Automotive, BMW’s associate in China, is working on a compact SUV model that looks very much alike X1 crossover.
According to Chinese news site Auto Sohu that broke these scoop photos, the new Brilliance model with the Audi name and BMW looks will be officially revealed at the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show in mid-April. It is reported that the Brilliance A3 SUV will be offered with a 1.6-liter gasoline engine sourced from Mitsubishi’s local division.
Other notable doppelgangers from China include: BYD S6DM / Lexus RX, Landwind X8 / Mitsubishi Outlander, Great Wall Florid / Scion xA, Lifan 320 / MINI Cooper, Yema SQJ6451 / Subaru Forester and the Geely GE / Rolls Royce Phantom.

Thank God! They are not creative. Imagine what would happen if they had own ideas!
At last, a car which makes the BMW X1 look handsome and attractively-styled...
how dare you anuses from bulgaria, hungary, romania, czech, poland, turkey and all the waste european countries bitch about china? you all are poor and lame.
Waste European? ouch! Anyone else notice the Skoda-ish grille. Funny that they choose to copy the ugliest cars in the BMW/DB lineups.
the target is for the less fortunate chinese, and only the chinese can destroy themselves, so just sit back and enjoy the show.
Do whatever you want, but don't copy the Hoffeister Kink, that's Bmm's signature..
They got no SHAME, and that's a shame.
well, the x1 is crap, so this is just a small variation.
Brilliance? Should be named as copycat...
BMW X1 - Premium Compact SUV
this model should be budget compact suv, would be a success if they sell it 1/2 of what you paid for X1.
not even half

Even if this suv is offered free... I would not want to accept such a present... It is like buying a coffin on four wheels...
