The Styling of the Jonway A380 has always been controversial as the exterior styling of the Jonway A380 was apparently reverse-engineered from the second generation Toyota RAV4 (XA20) without a license. The Jonway A380 proposed in both three-door short wheelbase and five-door long wheelbase are all considered copies of the Toyota crossover. The car immediately gets high media exposure because of the similarity with the original Japanese model in every detail. [2]
