My hometown is in Zhejiang, and I remember seeing Zotye factory cars coming and going when I was a kid. This brand is indeed domestically made in China, starting with its factory establishment in Yongkang, Zhejiang back in 2003. They originally manufactured auto parts before transitioning to whole vehicle production. Their main production bases are now in Yongkang and Hangzhou areas, with quite large factory complexes. A decade ago, their Audi-lookalike models were everywhere on the streets. Although some complained about inconsistent quality, their affordable prices helped many families fulfill their car ownership dreams. Recently, I heard they're undergoing restructuring and transformation—wondering what new models they'll release in the future.
When buying a car, I value the production background the most. Zotye is authentically Chinese-made, with its headquarters and production base located in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province, and even its R&D center is there. Once, on a business trip to Jinhua, I passed by their factory and saw SUVs fresh off the production line parked at the gate. Their development is quite interesting—they initially targeted third- and fourth-tier cities with a low-price strategy to capture the market. Later, they also established branch factories in places like Xiangtan, Hunan, and Chongqing. But to be honest, some models have more minor issues. My neighbor's T600 often ends up in the repair shop. Now, with the transition to new energy vehicles, quality control seems to have improved.
