    I’ve already bought a knock off car - the Dacia jogger is just a Volvo XC90 at a 1/3rd of the cost.

      This picture only shows that both of these cars have lights, a rear window and possibly rear wheels. Also they are both red

          Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren’t really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.

      Dacia are knock off Renaults. They’re literally a Renault subsiduary.

        Yeah, all the parts are Renault branded. The car itself I believe is built on a Clio chassis.

          Yeah, there are lots of manufacturers like that. They typically start out as an overseas factory producing the main manufacturer’s cars, then the factory expands into producing its own cars alongside.
