Published on February 1, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
This might look like a BMW X5 on 20 inch wheels but it is not. In fact is is a Shuanghuan SCEO with some BMW-stuff slapped on it, on 20 inch wheels, seen here in the great city of Shenzhen in Guandong Province.
Spotted in China: Shuanghuan Noble with a Hook
Published on September 17, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
Seen in a street near mine, Shuanghuan’s smart-clone Noble with a hook, but what to pull with max 33.5kw? Maybe another Noble, or a Smart. It wasn’t a funny-fake-thing either, I kicked it and it didn’t fell off, likely attached to the chassis. Maybe the owner has a small boat, or children.
Shuanghuan Noble goes Electric
Published on August 7, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
Shuanghuan showed an electric Noble in Beijing. It is yet a concept but one spokesman told me it would be on the market before the end of the year. The Noble is a copy of the Smart and actually really crap, but for only 30.000 yuan one can’t complain too much. The electric Noble will likely be a bit more expensive but with the green-power subsidy from the Chinese government it might end up being even cheaper than the standard car.
Beijing Auto Show Live: Shuanghuan Noble goes Tiger
Published on April 24, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
2010 is the Year of the Tiger in China so Smart-copycat Shuanghuan came with a Noble special-tiger-edition, roofracks included. It’s not a concept or a funcar for the show, customers can really buy it. Shuanghuan always sais the Noble isn’t a copy because the engine is in front. That is their opinion. The Noble-Tiger is powered by a 1.1 litre four cilinder with 33.5kw and 72nm. Growl! It costs 50.700 rmb. The skinny girl is from Russia, I asked, she needs to eat more butter.
Shuanghuan Noble Police Car

Shuanghuan became world famous when it copied the Smart. “But our engine is in the front!”, so Shuanghuan said. Indeed, it is not the same. Chinese police likes the little not copied car to check on civilians in crowded areas and neighbourhouds with small streets and many alleys.

Last Saturday I went to the ‘10th China International Auto Accesoires Commercial Expo (CIAACE 2010)’ in the Agricultural Exhibition Center here in Beijing. This expo was mostly about boring stuff such as floor mats but there was a tuning exhibition outside. I didn’t get inside. Here one second, a Shuanghuan Noble, aka ‘Chinese Smart copy’ Spiderman-Toyota.
