I've driven a Zotye Z700 as my daily commuter for three years, equipped with a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, typically model TN4G18T. This engine delivers about 177 horsepower, providing decent acceleration with noticeable push-back force, making highway overtaking effortless. The average daily fuel consumption is around 9 liters, which is quite economical. On a long-distance trip, it handled uphill sections without any struggle, though occasionally it had unstable idling during cold starts in winter, requiring a one-to-two-minute warm-up. In terms of reliability, the engine isn't top-tier—noise increases as it ages, so I check the oil level weekly to prevent leaks. I heard it's discontinued now, but you can still find it in the used car market; however, I recommend a test drive to listen to the engine sound before buying. For maintenance, just change the oil and filter every 5,000 kilometers—don't skimp on small expenses that could lead to big problems. Overall, this engine is suitable for family commuting, offering smooth driving.
