Which car does the Zotye T700 imitate?
2 Answers
Zotye T700 imitates the Land Rover. Its exterior features a wide grille with a dotted layout, LED headlights as standard across all models. The taillights of the Zotye T700 also use LED sources and are designed with high recognizability. The trunk is equipped with sensors, allowing it to be opened and closed by simply sweeping your foot left or right. The Zotye T700 has body dimensions of 4748mm in length, 1933mm in width, and 1697mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with MacPherson strut independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension, built on a unibody structure.
I've studied automotive design for many years, and when I saw the Zotye T700, I immediately thought of the Porsche Macan, especially the curved grille on the front fascia and the rounded body lines, which are almost identical. Chinese brands often imitate popular foreign models to fill market gaps, and the T700 is a classic example. This approach allows consumers to enjoy luxury car aesthetics at a price of just over 100,000 yuan, attracting many budget-conscious buyers. However, excessive imitation lacks originality and may compromise the vehicle's safety and durability. In the long run, companies should shift to independent R&D to truly enhance brand competitiveness. Nowadays, many entry-level SUVs follow a similar trend, so it's important to also focus on intrinsic quality when making a choice.
