China seen producing scaled-down knockoff of Peugeot Hoggar concept

It had two cast alloy seats in the middle, and two transverse, 180-horsepower diesel engines - one mounted up front, one out back - driving each axle through two semi-automatic gearboxes. The cabin was, as one might expect of a showcar, filled with leather and aluminum.<br /><br />But the Peugeot Hoggar Concept is not the vehicle you see above - it's a smaller Hoggar knockoff made in China by an as-yet-unknown firm, evidently created by using images of the Hoggar found online. Like the concept, it has four-wheel drive, but that's about where the overlap ends. It's powered by an 800cc Chery QQ engine running through a five-speed gearbox. You can compare and contrast the two cars for yourselves in the gallery below.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/">Shanzai Hoggar Clone</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/1449657/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/01_shanzai_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/1449658/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/02_shanzai_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/1449660/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/03_shanzai_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/1449661/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/04_shanzai_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/shanzai-hoggar-clone/1449662/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/05_shanzai_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/">Peugeot Hoggar Concept</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/1449631/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/01_peugeot_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/1449639/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/02_peugeot_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/1449640/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/03_peugeot_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/1449641/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/04_peugeot_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/peugeot-hoggar-concept/1449642/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/03/05_peugeot_hoggar_thumbna il.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br />[Sources: <a href="http://www.chinacartimes.com/2009/03/12/peugeot-haggar/">China Car Times</a>; FBLife.com]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/24/china-seen-producing-scaled-down-knockoff-of-peugeot-hoggar-conc/">China seen producing scaled-down knockoff of Peugeot Hoggar concept</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:29:00 EST.
