Car Models From The Same And Different Brands That Share The Same Platforms by Automotive1(m): 1:09am On Oct 31, 2018






Car platforms or same Chassis are now commonly shared in the automotive industry in order to reduce production costs.

The differences between the models that share the same Platforms are mainly the styling or outward designs like the headlights, tail lights,front and rear designs.

They may also have the same or different engines  and drivetrains.

The following are some of the Models that share the same Chassis

1) Bentley Bentayga, AUDI Q7, Porsche Cayenne AND Lamborghini Urus



The Volkswagen owned Audi Q7 and the four times more expensive Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne share the same Volkswagen PL73 platforms.

No wonder Rolls-Royce CEO called the Rolls-Royce Cullinan’s main rival Bentley Bentayga a rebadged Audi Q7.

2) Jeep Grand Cherokee AND 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class



The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers a better level of off-road abilities than the 2012 Mercedes-Benz M-Class despite sitting on the German SUV's Chassis .

3) Hummer H1 AND the military HUMVEE





The civilian Hummer H1 is based on the M998 millitary Humvee.

4) Cadillac Escalade EXT AND 2006 Chevrolet Silverado




The 2003 Cadillac Escalade EXT Extended Crossover Truck and the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado have the same GMT800 platforms.

5) Toyota RAV4,Avensis AND Toyota Matrix





2006 Toyota RAV4, 2007 Lexus ES, 2009 Matrix, 2009 Toyota Venza and 2011 Toyota Sienna to mention a few ,all sits on the same Toyota MC platform.

First 5 generations of the ES,which are essentially an upgraded and rebadged Camry, were built on the Toyota Camry platform.

6) Mercedes-Benz E-Class And Chrysler 300



Chrysler engineers used several Mercedes-Benz platforms after  Daimler-Benz bought Chrysler.

7) Hummer H3 AND Chevrolet Colorado





Hummer H3 and Chevrolet Colorado both sits on the same GMT 355 Pickup Truck platform.

The Hummer H2 and H3 are built on GM truck chassis and not on the original H1 platform.

Different cars from the same and different brands sitting on the same platforms... What do you think?

All of u saying u don't understand anything, what is so difficult here to understand.
OK let's go back to pre- Nursery.

Before a car is built/ manufactured. Engineers will first fabricate a metal frame(its like the skeleton in your body)
This metal skeleton in cars is called platform or chassis.

This car skeleton is sometimes shared by different cars from different auto makers or shared by different models of the same auto manufacturer.
This is done to save cost.

Any questions?

Mercury Villager. Who told you Nissan Quest was produced by Ford? Think about that for a second.

It was a joint venture for the first two models.

Unless you’re driving a Mercury Villager then your Quest wasn’t manufactured by Ford.

This ought to actually make you happy, but then.....
