Famous Chinese Brand Launches Identical Model to Ford Popular Car in the Automotive Market. It Is the BYD Yuan Pro Similar to the Ecosport Costing Equivalent to R$ 70 Thousand.

Clone of Ford’s Popular Car? Almost every Brazilian dreams of owning a car, but high prices in the automotive market have frightened many customers, leading them to postpone their purchase. However, there’s great news: BYD has launched the BYD Yuan Pro, a model that resembles Ford’s popular Ecosport. This new option promises to be an accessible and attractive choice for those wishing to fulfill the dream of owning a car without compromising their budget.

BYD Launches ‘Clone’ of Ford’s Popular Car in the Automotive Market

The fact is that, for those who do not know, the automaker surprised everyone by deciding to resurrect a popular Ford car, priced around R$ 70 thousand. However, the news is not confirmed in Brazil but in another country. The information was confirmed by Autoesporte.

Ford Has Not Taken Any Legal Action Against BYD

The model that will be effectively sold in the national market has a different appearance from the first version and uses the Dolphin platform. Returning to the BYD Yuan Pro similar to the Ecosport, as mentioned earlier, its front has a different look that we are already accustomed to with BYD.

At the rear, the similarities are so evident that, at first glance, the old BYD appears to be the very EcoSport. When encountering one in person, it is difficult to tell at first glance whether we are looking at a BYD or the Ford popular car. Tail lights, C-columns, rear windows, wheels, and even the spare tire mounted on the trunk lid. Everything was clearly inspired by the Ford SUV.

The body shape, higher at the rear, also makes the former BYD Yuan Pro similar to the Ecosport sold in Brazil until 2021. Ironically, the Ford SUV was produced in Camaçari (BA), at the factory now owned by BYD. Despite the evident resemblance, Ford has not taken any legal action against the Chinese company.

Meet the New Yuan Pro That Will Arrive in the Brazilian Automotive Market

Currently, the new BYD Yuan Pro has a design that does not resemble the Ford popular car. Its appearance follows BYD’s design language, with interconnected rear lights and no spare tire hanging on the trunk lid.

The compact SUV is 4.30 m long, 1.83 m wide, 1.67 m high and has a 2.62 m wheelbase. Therefore, the model is slightly larger than a Volkswagen T-Cross, but much smaller than the Yuan Plus.

The BYD compact SUV is equipped with an electric motor that delivers 177 hp. With this motorization, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds. The battery is 45 kWh and ensures a range of 401 km by the generous Chinese cycle (CLTC). To give you an idea, the Yuan Up, the entry-level version, delivers 95 hp and about 300 km of declared range.

Na manchetebdiz que o carro é “IDENTICO” ao carro popular Ecosport. Bom, em primeiro lugar, o Ecosport NUNCA foi um carro popular.
Após começar a ler a matéria, o “idêntico” foi substituído por “semelhante”. O que houve, o carro agora não é mais idêntico ao modelo da Ford?
Para finalizar, pelo menos esse carro que aparece no vídeo, não me lembra EM NADA o Ford Ecosport.

Portanto, se o objetivo da manchete mentirosa era atrair views para a matéria, conseguiu.

Created to cling to ships like a lamprey, the new U.S. underwater drone sleeps on the ocean floor, launches torpedoes, and recharges itself with the current.
