Why was the Leopaard Mattu discontinued?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons related to the discontinuation of the Mattu: 1. Awkward Styling: One of the drawbacks of the Mattu is its rather awkward styling, which even raised suspicions of plagiarism. At first glance, the front grille of the Mattu clearly borrows design elements, deviating from the current trend emphasizing originality. The interior also bears a resemblance to that of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. This patchwork styling fails to create an appealing effect, instead giving off a sense of abruptness. The exaggerated front grille lacks the elegance of a Maserati. 2. Misleading Marketing: The engine in this car is not the same as BMW's, but rather a product manufactured by CE Auto under BMW's authorization. While it's true that this engine originated from BMW, the BMW Group has long since discontinued its use. It was only after CE Auto acquired this engine that Leopaard purchased it. Therefore, Mattu's claim of having a BMW engine carries a hint of misleading marketing.
