Zotye T500 is a compact-level SUV. The T500 is equipped with two engines: one is a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The front suspension of the Zotye T500 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a torsion beam non-independent suspension. Here are the specific details: 1. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum torque of 215 Nm, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 2000 to 4000 rpm. This engine is equipped with intake variable valve timing technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block. 2.

This engine is equipped with variable intake valve timing technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block.
The Zotye T500 is classified as a compact SUV in the automotive segment. I've actually test-driven this model, and it feels perfect for someone like me who enjoys SUVs but doesn't want an overly large vehicle. Its body dimensions are just right—around 4.5 meters in length—making parking in the city a breeze and maneuvering effortless. The interior space is well-designed, with the rear seats comfortably accommodating three adults and a trunk spacious enough for several large suitcases. Under the hood, it packs a 1.5T engine that delivers steady acceleration, with fuel consumption averaging about 7-8 liters in daily driving. Priced affordably at just over 100,000 RMB, it offers great value for money, making it ideal for young individuals or small families. Among its peers, like the Haval H6, the T500 stands out with its more stylish design. As an auto enthusiast, I'd recommend this segment to budget-conscious buyers seeking practicality.
