Funny thing is, as much as I think it's ridiculous how Chinese Auto Makers can't make their own design vehicle without some sort of joint venture, I'm actually quite impressed wit the attention to detail on how they copied this.

In fact, I actually think the control layout on the center stack is actually done better on the copy.

I first saw this a year or so ago, and actually thought that maybe they bought the tooling of this generation of RX after it was discontinued. That is, especially since usually, when an automaker buys the tooling for production of an older model, it's typically made with Mitsubishi engines (which this has).

I've only read that it's assumed that it's a copy. Maybe it's actually a licensed continuation, and the company is keeping whether it is or not to itself. Another mystery of the Chinese aotu industry, perhaps?

It's quite close, and it's actually impressive, if you look at it the right way. Usually a company completely screws up copying a part of a vehicle, but this is almost spot on.
