What brand is Yinglu?

[DelVivienne]

Parallel imported cars are named based on foreign suppliers, but the vehicles themselves are identical. Since these are parallel imports rather than manufacturer-authorized, they cannot directly use the Land Rover Range Rover name and instead adopt the Yinglu brand. There are two types of imported cars in China: 1. Authorized imports: These are vehicles officially authorized by the original manufacturer for import through authorized Chinese agents, i.e., the imported cars sold at 4S dealerships. 2. Parallel imports: These are vehicles independently sourced by dealers from abroad without manufacturer authorization. Additionally, China prohibits any individuals or entities from personally importing vehicles for sale from foreign countries. Due to the special trade nature of parallel imports, dealers cannot obtain brand authorization for import and thus cannot use the original manufacturer's brand name. The current common practice is to import these vehicles through small 3C certification, registering them as modified versions of the original models. Consequently, the brand name cannot match the original manufacturer's name, leading to the use of the Yinglu brand as an alternative.

I've looked up quite a bit of car information and am quite familiar with both domestic and international brands. To be honest, from common imported to domestic cars, such as popular brands like Geely, BYD, Toyota, and Volkswagen, I've never heard of a specific brand called 'Yinglu.' It might be a newly established small brand or a regional name. For example, some manufacturers in China have used similar-style names in the past, like 'Yingzhi Auto,' which focused on entry-level models with practical performance, but it has been integrated in recent years. If you come across this name while car shopping, I recommend verifying whether it comes from a legitimate car manufacturer with official certification and after-sales service to avoid the risks of counterfeit products or second-hand modified parts. When it comes to car selection, I think reliability is key. It's best to visit a 4S store to check out common brands, such as the Haval H6, a cost-effective SUV that's very popular among families and offers better safety guarantees. It's always good to learn more about a brand's background—don't just rely on the marketing jargon from salespeople.

As a seasoned driver with over 20 years of experience who has owned several vehicles ranging from pickup trucks to sedans, I've never come across any car brand called 'Yinglu' in the market. Well-established domestic brands like Changan and Chery, or joint ventures such as Dongfeng Nissan and Shanghai GM, all have clear reputations and market positioning. If this brand you mentioned is indeed a new car, it might have just been launched recently, or it could simply be a typo – mixing up 'Infiniti' or 'Land Rover' isn't uncommon. I'd advise against making hasty decisions. Instead, visit the dealership to inspect the vehicle in person, check the brand logo and manuals to avoid purchasing gray-market goods. Car dealers nowadays employ many tricks – if the vehicle's origin is unclear, driving it could pose significant risks, like incompatible parts making future repairs a headache. Safety always comes first when driving, so prioritize vehicles from reputable manufacturers and consult experienced individuals before buying. This approach can save you a lot of trouble.

Having been immersed in the automotive circle for a long time, I've noticed many friends searching for lesser-known brands like 'Yinglu'. Based on the information I've gathered, there's no record of it in the official directory of legitimate automobile manufacturers. It might be a new small company or a pseudo-brand modified by individuals. If you come across such a brand while car shopping, it's best to immediately look it up online, such as checking automotive forums or official website databases. China's domestic automotive industry is developing rapidly, with major brands like Hongqi and GAC continuously launching new series, all of which have clear logos and certification systems. Don't be fooled by vague names; stick to the standards when choosing a car: verify the vehicle's origin, check the manufacturer's information, and ensure it has passed safety standard tests. This way, you won't waste money or run into subsequent troubles.
