2 Answers
The body weight of the Zotye Damai 7 is 1.4 tons. The Zotye Damai 7 is equipped with three turbocharged engines: 1.5T, 1.8T, and 2.0T. The 1.5T model is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while the 1.8T and 2.0T models are paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Taking the Zotye Damai 7 1.8T as an example: its body dimensions are 4736mm in length, 1942mm in width, and 1672mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 177 horsepower, with peak torque available between 1750 to 5300 RPM.
I've driven the Zotye Damai X7, which has a curb weight ranging from 1,650 to 1,800 kilograms, equivalent to 1.65 to 1.8 tons. This car feels quite heavy, providing a stable driving experience—it doesn't drift on highways and remains composed when taking corners. The weight primarily comes from the generous use of steel and its spacious body, with additional load adding to the burden. In city driving, the fuel consumption is relatively high, costing more in gas, but the safety is excellent, with minimal body sway on bumpy roads. When buying a car, it's advisable to consider its weight—too heavy can be inconvenient for city use, especially when parking and starting. Given material factors, SUVs are generally heavier, making this car suitable for the peace of mind during long-distance travel.
