Bailiffs acting for Jaguar Land Rover raided <a href=\"https:\/\/www.byd.com\">BYD<\/a>&#8216;s offices in the Netherlands, days before a court showdown in The Hague. At the center sits the <strong>BYD Ti7<\/strong>, a big, boxy SUV that looks uncomfortably close to the reborn Defender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BYD corporate news goes to court<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The raid reportedly happened back in August, when JLR&#8217;s legal team hoped to find documents proving BYD reverse engineered a Defender. Those files could have vanished at any moment, so timing mattered. Meanwhile, BYD keeps pushing hard into premium territory, recently showing off a <a href=\"https:\/\/autonews-mag.com\/byd-yangwang-u8-chinas-1180-hp-amphibious-luxury-suv-storms-australia\/\">1180 hp Yangwang U8<\/a> that can float.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ti7 looks awfully familiar up close<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Place your fingers over the lights and grille, and the resemblance grows hard to ignore. Still, the Ti7 is not a straight copy. On paper, its upright glasshouse and body-colored panel behind the C-pillar echo the Defender closely enough to invite a lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"fast-specs-table-wrapper\" style=\"margin: 20px 0 24px 0; background: #ffffff; border: 1px solid #e2e8f0; border-left: 4px solid #d90707; border-radius: 6px; padding: 12px 14px; box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.04); font-family: inherit;\">\n  <div style=\"display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: space-between; border-bottom: 2px solid #f1f5f9; padding-bottom: 7px; margin-bottom: 8px;\">\n    <div style=\"font-size: 0.85em; font-weight: 800; letter-spacing: 0.3px; text-transform: uppercase; color: #0f172a; text-align: left;\">\n      \u26a1 BYD corporate news\n    <\/div>\n    <span style=\"background: #d90707; color: #ffffff; font-size: 0.58em; font-weight: 700; padding: 2px 8px; border-radius: 3px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.6px;\">Fast Specs<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: inherit; margin: 0; padding: 0;\">\n    <tbody>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #ffffff;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\u2699\ufe0f<\/span>Engine \/ Powertrain\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          1.5L inline-4 plus four electric motors (Super Hybrid)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #f8fafc;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\ud83d\udc0e<\/span>Power Output\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          402 HP (408 PS)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #ffffff;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\u26a1<\/span>Peak Torque\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          650 Nm (479 lb-ft) (est.)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #f8fafc;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\u23f1\ufe0f<\/span>0-60 mph (0-100 km\/h)\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          0-62 mph in 4.8s\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #ffffff;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\ud83d\ude80<\/span>Top Speed\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          112 mph (180 km\/h) (est.)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #f8fafc;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\ud83d\udd04<\/span>Drivetrain \/ Gearbox\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          Hybrid AWD (est.)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f5f9; background: #ffffff;\">\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 600; color: #64748b; font-size: 0.80em; text-align: left; vertical-align: middle; width: 45%;\">\n          <span style=\"margin-right: 6px;\">\ud83d\udcb0<\/span>Starting Price \/ Est.\n        <\/td>\n        <td style=\"padding: 7px 10px; font-weight: 700; color: #0f172a; font-size: 0.82em; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle;\">\n          \u00a347,995 ($64,300)\n        <\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing that makes JLR nervous<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The numbers explain JLR&#8217;s anger. The Ti7 starts at <strong>\u00a347,995 ($64,300)<\/strong> in the UK, while a base Defender 110 costs more than \u00a316,000 extra. Its Super Hybrid setup pairs a 1.5-liter inline-4 with four electric motors, producing 402 hp (408 PS) and reaching 62 mph in 4.8 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A pattern of borrowed design<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not JLR&#8217;s first fight over copied design. In 2016, the company won its case against JMC&#8217;s Landwind X7, which was forced off production after copying five Evoque details. Even so, JLR has not yet sued Chery over the Jaecoo 7, despite its nickname as the &#8220;Temu Range Rover.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, GWM&#8217;s chairman publicly apologized after a Wey V9X advert copied a Range Rover Sport ad. BYD has offered nothing similar. This BYD corporate news story is bigger than one SUV, because the Hague court may decide where inspiration ends and infringement begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"read-next-card\" style=\"margin: 32px 0 28px 0; padding: 16px 20px; background: #f8fafc; border-left: 5px solid #d90707; border-radius: 6px; box-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.06); font-family: inherit; text-align: left !important;\">\n  <p style=\"margin: 0; font-size: 1.02em; line-height: 1.5; color: #1e293b; text-align: left !important; word-spacing: normal !important; letter-spacing: normal !important;\">\n    \ud83d\ude97 <strong>Read Next:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/autonews-mag.com\/byd-seal-07-arrives-flash-charging\/\" style=\"color: #0284c7; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: underline; text-align: left !important; word-spacing: normal !important;\">2nd-gen BYD Seal 07 launched at $21K with electric &#038; hybrid options \u2192<\/a>\n  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For buyers, the Ti7 offers a compelling package.
