Aside from being your average two-box nondescript-looking crossovers with four doors, a rear hatch, four wheels/tires, engine and other associated crap that comes with such vehicles (well, okay the Terrain's ridiculously high beltline kinda stands out against the Sorento, but I digress...), I'm not really seeing any resemblance between the two vehicles.

As for this little gem that looks a lot like something I flushed down the toilet a few hours ago...

Why copy the Terrain? I dunno.
Why copy in general? Because apparently they lack a good design team.
Where are the similarities: Mostly interior and looking at the car from some angles, fenders in a way are the big part.

I first noticed it during a commercial for the Sorrento.

Also Korea habitually copies other countries products to the point of only vaguely disguising them as a copy just enough to circumvent international copyright laws.

From tv to toys to clothes to cars.. it's actually funny.
Seriously? When it comes to ripping off automotive design (or so it seems most things in general these days...), South Korea generally isn't the first country that comes to mind when I hear about it...



Last I checked, these guys are still the masters of blatantly plagarizing product designs from around the world (just try to find a Chinese car on Google that isn't such an obvious ripoff of something else...).
