There are a lot of copied cars that are doing big in the Chinese market and the latest victim of it seems like the Tata Nexon.
We have many cases of copied cars, all mainly coming from China. In the country, there are local copies of Bentley, Rolls Royce and Land Rover cars. Many mainstream budget cars have also been copied and are now selling at large in the Chinese market.
Here’s the Maple 30X which is a low-priced electric SUV. It gets a 70kW electric motor with a driving range of 306 kms. Priced at Rs 7.5 Lakhs in China, it will soon go on sale. All things aside, can you see its similarities to the Tata Nexon.
From the front side, except its grille, rest of the part looks identical to the Nexon. Both get a single closure for the headlamp and grille along with a slightly raised bonnet. From the side, the Maple 30X looks more like the Nexon EV with similar body lines.

Even the roof line and the A-Pillar are very identical to the Nexon facelift. If you look closely, you can notice a similar design for the alloy wheels. If you look the Maple 30X from the side, many of you will get confused amongst both.
Tata launched the Nexon facelift a couple of months back, just after the launch of Nexon EV. The facelifted SUV got refreshed bumpers, new and lighter alloy wheels, new front grille, revised headlamp design and new dual-tone colour options.
While the engine options remained the same, there were a lot of new features added onboard. Nexon now comes with cruise control, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and electric sunroof. It is now available in an array of variants to choose from.
