AUTOEXEC SUMMARY
Chinese tech giant Xiaomi recently unveiled its first car, the SU7, a blatant copy of Porsche’s Taycan, sparking massive interest in China with 88,000 orders in the first month. Despite its resemblance to the Taycan, the SU7 is far more affordable, priced at AU$44,700 compared to the Taycan’s AU$184,000. This trend of Chinese automakers imitating Western designs isn’t new, with companies like BYD, BAIC, and Geely having previously released vehicles resembling models from Lexus, Mercedes Benz, Jeep, Volkswagen, and Rolls Royce.
