Are Zotye Auto Parts Still in Production?
3 Answers
Zotye Auto has ceased production since April this year. Status of Zotye Auto Parts: From the production halt in April until now, Zotye has been relying on inventory parts to address after-sales issues. However, once the inventory parts are exhausted, there will be no more parts available. Currently, Zotye's Da Mai series, E series, and SUV series are all out of parts. Even the 4S stores located in the manufacturer's area cannot receive any parts. Exterior of Zotye T600: In terms of exterior, the Zotye T600 1.5T Flagship version does not differ significantly from the 1.5T Elite, Luxury, and Premium versions. In detail, the Flagship version is equipped with a new roof rack and rear spoiler, making it more distinctive. Additionally, the electrically folding side mirrors (including turn signals, electric heating defrosting, and ground illumination functions) are very helpful when navigating narrow roads. The electric heating defrosting function can effectively improve mirror visibility during rainy or snowy conditions, enhancing driving safety.
My family used to have a Zotye, and it was quite a hassle to find replacement parts when the headlights broke. Zotye as a brand had its funding chain broken a few years ago, and the official factories stopped production. However, parts are still being made, though not by the original manufacturer—they’re produced by third-party suppliers. Searching on e-commerce platforms like Taobao, I can still find some sellers offering headlights and other parts, though prices are a bit higher than before. Some parts are decent in quality, while others feel like substandard products. I’d advise other owners not to rush—check with auto parts markets or local repair shops, as they usually have sourcing channels. Another option is using second-hand dismantled parts, which saves money but requires caution regarding safety risks.
I've been working in auto repair for over a decade and have encountered many Zotye vehicles coming in for parts. Regarding production, since the brand went under, the original factories have basically stopped, but now some small manufacturers are taking over, mainly producing consumable parts like brake discs. Quality issues need attention—some products from small workshops may not meet standards, prone to oil leaks or rapid wear. I recommend owners check the source of parts during regular maintenance, look for certification labels before purchasing, and avoid going for the cheapest option. If you really can't find them, you might want to check out professional auto parts markets—there are more suppliers there.
