I've already bought a knock off car - the Dacia jogger is just a Volvo XC90 at a 1/3rd of the cost.

This picture only shows that both of these cars have lights, a rear window and possibly rear wheels. Also they are both red

OP's comment made me look into this and I found this, https://www.autogott.de/autovergleich/dacia-jogger/volvo-xc90

It's in German, but the gist of it is, that's its basically what OP > OP was asking for lol knock offs!

The Dacia is like a Kmart version of the Volvo, but the price difference is insane, I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I could.

Note that the article is an auto-generated comparison. In my opinion these two cars aren't really comparable and are only kind of similar in terms of looks and dimensions. Everything else is pretty different. The volvo is about twice as heavy and up to three times as powerful depending on configuration and is available with allwheel drive vs just frontwheel drive fir the Dacia and far more luxurious. They appeal to a completely different class of cutomers.

Dacia are knock off Renaults. They're literally a Renault subsiduary.

Yeah, all the parts are Renault branded. The car itself I believe is built on a Clio chassis.

Yeah, there are lots of manufacturers like that. They typically start out as an overseas factory producing the main manufacturer's cars, then the factory expands into producing its own cars alongside.
