2 Answers
Zotye Z500's engine is from Mitsubishi. Detailed introduction: It is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. When paired with a manual transmission, the engine delivers a maximum power of 106kW and a maximum torque of 207Nm. When paired with an automatic transmission, the engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW and a maximum torque of 200Nm. CVT transmission: The Zotye Z500 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. The CVT transmission is compact, lightweight, and structurally different from conventional transmissions. It features two cone pulleys and a steel belt, offering excellent reliability and durability, along with very smooth gear shifting.
I have been driving the Zotye Z500 for over three years. The car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, which is produced by Zotye itself. However, the technology was purchased from Mitsubishi, and the quality is relatively stable. I use the car for daily commuting, and I find the power sufficient. It's a bit slow at the start, but the acceleration is strong once it gets going. In terms of fuel consumption, it's about 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and can drop to around 7 liters on the highway. After driving it for so long, the engine hasn't had any major issues, except for a leak in the turbocharger's intake pipe that caused a power drop, which was fixed by replacing a small part. Overall, this engine is economical and practical for a family car, being both sturdy and durable.
