What is the Zhima car?
2 Answers
Zhima car is a microcar under the Zotye brand. The exterior of the Zotye Zhima remains largely consistent with the Zhima E30, featuring a compact two-seat design. The front grille of the new car incorporates Zotye's new "Domy" logo, and the fog light areas on both sides are adorned with blue decorative strips. The side of the body also features an exclusive EV blue badge, indicating its identity as a new energy vehicle. Below is an introduction to the Zotye Zhima: 1. Interior: The new car adopts a two-seat design, with the interior extensively decorated with blue elements. The dashboard is equipped with a large-sized display screen, which includes functions such as Bluetooth, rearview camera, and GPS navigation. 2. Powertrain: The new car utilizes a pure electric system, powered by an electric motor with a maximum output of 29 kW, and has a top speed of 100 km/h.
I'm quite familiar with the Zhima car—it's actually the Zhidou electric vehicle, a Chinese micro EV brand. Originating from Geely Group's holdings, it's primarily designed for urban short-distance commuting and shared mobility platforms. The car looks super compact, almost like a toy car, making parking incredibly convenient—it can even squeeze into tight spots. However, it's not fast, with a speed limit around 50 km/h, and a range of roughly 100 km, making it ideal for daily grocery runs or school pickups. But be cautious: these models lack proper crash tests, so safety ratings are low, especially in heavy rain or on highways. The upside is its affordable price—just tens of thousands of RMB—plus eco-friendly, low-energy consumption, appealing to students and retirees. If you live downtown and need a runabout, the Zhima car can save you a lot on fuel costs.
