The Jonway A380 is a compact crossover SUV (sport utility vehicle) produced by the Chinese automobile manufacturer Jonway Automobile priced at 67,900 yuan.[1]
The Styling of the Jonway A380 has always been controversial as the exterior styling of the Jonway A380 was apparently reverse-engineered from the second generation Toyota RAV4 (XA20) without a license. The Jonway A380 proposed in both three-door short wheelbase and five-door long wheelbase are all considered copies of the Toyota crossover. The car immediately gets high media exposure because of the similarity with the original Japanese model in every detail.[2]
In 2012 Jonway Automobile signed an agreement with Maggiora the coachbuilder to conduct a facelift for the Jonway UFO A380.[3] The model exhibited at the concept car stadium only went into production at the end of 2013.[4]
In 2013 Jonway Automobile presented a second crossover named Jonway Falcon.[5] The Jonway Falcon was based on the mechanics and body of the Jonway A380 but with a restyled exterior and interior design.[6]
