In mid - July, the MPV model SuperOne, which is the second brand FX under Faraday Future, made its global debut. Positioned as the world's inaugural E - AI MPV, it is equipped with a pure - electric powertrain. Although the vehicle was unveiled in the United States, Chinese netizens quickly noticed that its overall styling bears a striking resemblance to that of the Great Wall WEY High Mountain 9. The most noticeable difference is the addition of a large screen at the front of the SuperOne.
This similarity has sparked widespread speculation among the public, with many suspecting that SuperOne has simply copied the design of the Great Wall WEY High Mountain 9. In Chinese culture, original design and innovation are highly valued in the automotive industry, and any hint of plagiarism can lead to significant backlash. Moreover, in the context of English - speaking business and automotive circles, intellectual property protection is also a crucial issue, and such allegations can have a negative impact on a company's reputation.
In response to these suspicions, Wang Jiawei, the global president of Faraday Future, clarified that the vehicle was developed through collaboration with industrial partners in China. He emphasized that there was no copying involved in the design process.
