Rebadging means selling the same car but with a different brand name or logo. It's like giving the car a new name to sell it to different people.

Rebadging is the practice of selling a vehicle under a different brand or nameplate, often with minimal changes to the original model. It is commonly used to expand product lines or enter new markets.
