The Kawei K1 is a mid-size pickup truck manufactured by Chinese automotive brand Kawei Auto, a brand of the Jiangsu Kawei Automotive Industrial Group Co., Ltd. The Jiangsu Kawei Automotive Industry Group is an automotive manufacturing company based in Danyang in Jiangsu Province.
The Kawei Auto K1 debuted during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show.
Since its production, controversy has arisen due to the design of the Kawei K1 bearing a likeness to the twelfth generation Ford F-150 (which was in production from model years 2009 to 2014), making it an unlicensed clone.
In 2017, Kawei unveiled the Kawei EV7, based on the K1, claiming it to be the world's first pure electric full-size pickup truck.
