The distributor behind the proposed brand should be familiar: California's HAAH Automotive Holdings, which also plans to introduce the Chinese Zotye brand to the United States. This time, the introduction is an upscale one, with HAAH and China's Chery Automobile signing a technical cooperation agreement to deliver a new brand, and a new SUV, to U.S. consumers.
In an announcement Monday, HAAH stated, "VANTAS vehicles will be on the Exeed platform, which has been developed with global resources and technologies targeted specifically at United States and Canadian consumers."
Exeed is a subsidiary of Chery; the holding company claims an upmarket SUV will be the first vehicle it brings to North America.
"The specific model and other details have not been announced yet. Engineering development for homologation in the U.S. market has already begun," HAAH stated, adding that the model will be "similar, but not identical, to" the Chinese-market Exeed TXL.

In October, HAAH and Zotye USA announced the filling of 100 U.S. dealer markets for that brand's introduction, citing a 2021 on-sale date.

VANTAS
HAAH
Chery
Zotye
Exeed (gotta love that one)

... and, of course, Lexus ... since it looks like one.

Plus, I expect within a week after introduction, you'll be able to buy a knockoff version on Aliexpress for pennies on the dollar... and it'll be called Zygote , from the Cherry division of HAAS Avocado EXTREMELY HEAVY INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS LTD.

all the best,
mrh
