2 Answers
Zotye T500 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with both manual and automatic transmissions. The model number for the 1.5T automatic transmission engine is TNN4G15T. Below are the relevant details about the Zotye T500: Dimensions: The Zotye T500 is a compact SUV under the Zotye brand, with a length, width, and height of 4632mm, 1850mm, and 1695mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Exterior: The vehicle features a hexagonal front grille, with a design resembling fretwork above the fog lights. The side profile adopts a floating roof design, while the rear has a full and rounded shape. An upward-slanting waistline extends to the rear, complemented by a full-width taillight design that echoes the front headlights, ensuring high visibility.
The T500 has used two types of engines. Earlier models were mostly equipped with the 1.5T turbocharged engine, codenamed TN4A15T, produced by Tongling Ruizhan. This engine's characteristic is that it can deliver 215 N·m of torque at just 1600 rpm, making it quite nimble for city driving, though it lacks some punch when overtaking on highways. The newer version also added a 1.6L naturally aspirated option, but with only 116 horsepower, it struggles a bit to pull such a large SUV. During repairs, we often notice that the spark plugs wear out quickly in this vehicle, so we recommend owners check them every 30,000 kilometers.
