Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (斯威G01, Sīwēi G01) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Shineray's revived Italian marque; the G01 sells in Italy and Russia under the same badge.
