Tyres size seem to be average, not big tires.
But like always the real question is what this car got under the hood ?
Engine, performance, durability…

Jazakumullahokhair for allowing me to comment, here it goes, I think that visually this 300 is another shameless copy of the Land Cruiser (1979), FG Cruiser and Daihatsu Rocky (old shape). These tactics in my opinion just show what Chinese cars worth is, a poorly built vehicle.

FYI initially around some 60 years ago the Japanese car companies (which you so openly love in most of your comments) were also called copycats who copied American and European designs closely.

Chinese are copying whom?
Going back into history, Japan colonized China a few times. So did Germany, Britain and Portugal and a few others. Concessions were made in Chinese cities, in which Chinese were not permitted (on their own native soil) meanwhile the occupiers roamed free. Other foreigners were more acceptable & trustworthy than native locals in those places.
European colonials colonized, murdered and pillaged the native red-Indian Americans, did the same to South Americans, plundered the rich cultural heritage and thousands of years of history of the African continent and did much the same to the South Asian sub-continent. Mughal India used to be the richest nation in the world, colonials took more than a few centuries to fully conquer it but could not hold on it even for a whole century. Now the colonialism has ended in the subcontinent and look how poor all of the emerged countries are.
Now China is a rising superpower meanwhile some other countries are following behind like Turkey, Malaysia and a few steps behind is India … and Pakistan is also making its own efforts to build itself. Chinese are just copying the motto of the colonizing nations that “might is right”. The nations which cry foul now seeing the Chinese’s actions should always remember with a bitter gulp what their own ancestors did to the ancestors of current China (when it was weak) and to other countries of the world. They have no moral high ground to stand on.
From a purely ethical academics standpoint you may be correct but then the powerful nations have seldom been ethical towards the weak nations and this is what China is doing to them now. As Pakistan is also one of the country which has suffered colonialism and the fruit is not ending its giving till now, must have some at least some understanding towards neighboring nations who are struggling to regain their past grandeur which was forcibly snatched without any provocation.

Secondly, they are openly mocking ingenuity of international brands by churning out cheap copies such as these, the front is looking closely reminiscent of the outgone Tundra model. Meanwhile that wide grille is also giving off J200’s expression, .
