Zotye Auto is from China, and its models include: Zotye T700, Zotye Z500, Zotye T600, Zotye 5008, Zotye SR7, etc. Taking the 2018 Zotye T700 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4748mm, width 1933mm, height 1697mm, wheelbase 2850mm, fuel tank capacity 64L, and curb weight 1787kg. The 2018 Zotye T700 has a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 177PS, maximum power of 130kW, maximum torque of 245Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I used to be particularly fond of researching the history of car brands, and Zotye Auto is definitely a Chinese brand, established in 2003 in Yongkang, Zhejiang. The company initially focused on economical SUVs, such as the popular T600 model, which I often see on the road. Later, they transitioned into the electric vehicle sector and even partnered with Ford to develop new energy vehicles. As an enthusiast, I believe this represents the strength of Chinese manufacturing—cost-effective, practical, and keeping up with trends—though it's also important to note the varying quality across models. After twenty years of development, Zotye has a solid foundation in the domestic Chinese market with stable sales. If they can enhance their core technologies in the future, they will shine even brighter. This reminds me of how quickly domestic car brands have risen—not as expensive as imported brands, but the driving experience varies from person to person.
I used to drive a Zotye car, and as an ordinary user, I have deep feelings about it. It is, of course, a Chinese brand, an automaker established in 2003. I used their SUV model T600, which was sufficient for daily commuting, had cheap maintenance, and was easy to service. Many neighbors in my community drove this car, making it feel quite down-to-earth. However, on long-distance drives, the sound insulation was average, and there were occasional minor issues that needed fixing, but the cost-performance ratio was high, making it suitable for people with a limited budget. It was especially popular in small cities in China, where parking spaces were ample, and fuel consumption was moderate. From a user's perspective, Zotye is a mainstay of domestic brands, meeting basic needs without any problem, as long as you don't pursue luxury. I heard they are now launching electric vehicles, with significant technological advancements, which is something to look forward to.
