    The Boyue Pro to be exact since it sports a different front end.
    I'm not sure though why the need for a Pro suffix if i assume this is already the facelift. Maybe they still sell both together.

    regular


    pro


    i wonder why they didn't use the Atlas name, like they did in other countries. It sounds much better

    my guess is, another car maker was already using the "atlas" name, in one of their models.

    I tried searching for any car dealer/distributor who may have applied a Trademark with IPOPHL for the word/moniker ATLAS but there doesn't seem to be one.

    There are lots of ATLAS trademarks but I didn't see any related to vehicles.

    It was odd too since last year they definitely announced they'd be bringing in the "ATLAS" and the model displayed in the showroom at north edsa when they opened/launched the Coolray was definitely branded the ATLAS.

    Oh well, I hope it works out from the naming standpoint.

    Maybe the reason why they pulled the ATLAS from the model is because they are launching a larger 7 seater. But that's just a guess.

    ford atlas comes to mind.

    sometimes the reason is not a legal issue, but "industrial respect" or something personal on the part of the guy with the gold.

    do not discount other, non-automotive reasons why the name change.
    some establishments hire anthropologists and other such specialists, to deal with cultural and other issues, that might affect their products' appeal in the target population.

    VW Atlas is what crossed my mind but VW PH doesn't look like it will consider selling that nameplate here.
