Chinese-built Jeep knockoff will certainly knock the socks off your friends, but not along the Rubicon Trail.

Online retailer Alibaba is the Amazon of China. Founded by Jack Ma in 1999, the company is the largest retailer in the world, one of the largest internet and AI companies in the world, and one of the biggest venture capital and investment corporations in the world. Its main namesake company is the largest online business-to-business trading platform in the world, where small businesses can order all sorts of goods, and vaporwave artists can find inspiration for old-school vaporwave album art.

Should you be in the market for a few golf carts, and the Mahindra Roxor is too big for the job, then why not plunk down a few thousand for this “Korean-style SUV car,” whose appearance is that of current Jeep Wrangler that shrunk in the wash.

Made by Shanghai Your Industry and sold under the Lander name, this knockoff Jeep is powered by gas or diesel 200cc four-stroke linked to an automatic transmission. Top speed is just under 25 mph, there’s a tall roll cage with optional fabric roof panel to protect you and a friend from the elements and rollovers, and an optional bull bar up front keeps the headlights and grill safe from bollards. It looks neat enough, but there’s no way you’d want to take the knockoff off-road (unless it’s a fairway or a hard-packed beach) or on the street.

A single example will set you back $2,000, though it appears you can order a few for $400 each if your negotiation skills are good. We’re not sure we’d go for this, however, as there’s too little information and too many potential headaches with this knockoff. You’d be better off using that $2,000 as a down payment on a real Wrangler, instead.

Cameron Aubernon's path to automotive journalism began in the early New '10s. Back then, a friend of hers thought she was an independent fashion blogger.

Aubernon wasn't, so she became one, covering fashion in her own way for the next few years.

From there, she's written for: Louisville.com/Louisville Magazine, Insider Louisville, The Voice-Tribune/The Voice, TOPS Louisville, Jeffersontown Magazine, Dispatches Europe, The Truth About Cars, Automotive News, Yahoo Autos, RideApart, Hagerty, and Street Trucks.

Aubernon also served as the editor-in-chief of a short-lived online society publication in Louisville, Kentucky, interned at the city's NPR affiliate, WFPL-FM, and was the de facto publicist-in-residence for a communal art space near the University of Louisville.

Aubernon is a member of the International Motor Press Association, and the Washington Automotive Press Association.
