The Chinese car market has dedicated original domestically designed and produced cars.

But in addition, there are German-Chinese ventures and even US-China production agreements (Ford/Lincoln, in particular)
Here are some examples (We will NEVER see these cars imported to USA!

BMW X1 – marketed as the Brilliance 1E

VW Polo (Jetta on smaller VW Polo platform)
Jetta LWB (long wheel based) is a standard Jetta
VW is BIG in China

Audi A4 and A7, A8 sportback. These models have slightly different styling

MB A-class LWB (again with the long wheel based version).

Cherokee (Yup, a Jeep) discontinued, got a face lift and continued with Mitsubishi or MB engine

Ford Taurus/Mondeo
Ford Territory (Australian model, an SUV/CUV)

Lincoln Zephyr, built with a CHinese specific built Ford engine (Changan-Ford)

And of course there are the blatant copy cars (CG clones!?):
Land Wing (Evoque)
Dongfeng Hanma (Hummer) looks like the original with tire pressure legs!
Geely GE (Rolls Phantom)

Suzhou Eagle Carrie - Porsche 718 Cayman

Dadi Shuttle - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

Victory S10 - Cadillac Escalade
