[edit] Criticism
Due to copying the Smart Fortwo and the BMW X5, Shuanghuan has been criticized and threatened with legal action.[1][2] In Germany legal action was taken by BMW which resulted in a ban on sales of the Shuanghuan SCEO.[3] The badge used by Shuanghuan is very similar to the badge of SsangYong Motor Company.[4]
