The most rebadged cars in the world

Re-badging cars is nothing new to Indian customers. Famously, Renault and Nissan sold the Duster in the country under different names, and Volkswagen and Skoda sold the Vento in the country under different names. Most enthusiasts also know that the MG Hector sold in India is nothing but the Baojun 530, which is sold under different brand names the world over.
