After yesterday’s teaser sketches, Huansu Auto’s
Lamborghini Urus ripoff, the C60 Hyosow, has been officially revealed. Made by
BAIC owned Huansu, the C60’s fascia clearly mimics the Italian super-SUV, while
the similarities continue with the fender vents, profile line and taillights
with the signature LEDs. It’s not a 1:1 clone, but its pretty obvious that
Huansu aped the Urus’ design.
Despite being a very affordable clone of the
Lamborghini Urus, expected to cost between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan
(US$ 15,570- US$ 23,355) in China, the Huansu Hyosow doesn’t actually look half bad.
Compared to other abominations that surfaced from China over the years, like
the Longer Yuelang X1, it actually looks decent.
It should have enough space for five occupants
inside, given that its wheelbase is 2,815 mm long, or just 187 mm shy of the Lamborghini Urus. While previous report mentioned a 150 horsepower
1.5-liter engine, the Chinese media now talks about a 195 hp turbocharged
2.0-liter unit. Whatever powers it, one thing is very certain: it won’t pose a
threat to the real Lamborghini Urus, which has a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine
with 641 hp, and takes as little as 3.6 sec to hit 100 km/h.
Part of the automaker’s X-Series lineup, which will
include a range of crossovers and SUVs with sporty designs, the Huansu Hyosow,
codenamed C60, is expected to celebrate its official presentation on June 6.
