Which manufacturer produces Hanteng brand cars?
2 Answers
Hanteng brand cars are produced by Hanteng Automobile, a company engaged in the manufacturing and sales of automobiles, agricultural vehicles, and the production of lifting machinery, with its headquarters located in Shangrao City. Taking the Hanteng X7 as an example: it is equipped with a 1.5T L4 turbocharged engine, with a maximum torque of 215 Nm and a maximum horsepower of 156 hp, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The dimensions of the Hanteng X7 are 4671mm in length, 1902mm in width, and 1697mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2810mm. It has a top speed of 180 km/h, a fuel tank capacity of 60L, and uses tires with the specification 235/65R17.
I've always been quite interested in various car brands, and Hanteng Auto is actually produced by the Zotye Auto Group. Zotye is considered an established brand in China's automotive industry, having launched the Hanteng brand around 2013 mainly to expand into the mid-to-low-end market. Hanteng's production base is located in Shangrao, Jiangxi, where it manufactures several SUV models like the Hanteng X7 and X5, focusing on practicality and cost-effectiveness in design. I've discussed this topic at friend gatherings—while Hanteng may not have the same level of recognition as Honda, it was quite popular upon its initial launch, especially among budget-conscious young people. However, some users have reported occasional minor issues with parts, emphasizing the need to visit authorized 4S shops for repairs. Overall, Zotye's creation of Hanteng targeted gaps in the domestic market. Now, with the Zotye Group's restructuring, some Hanteng models may undergo transformations, but the story behind it is quite thought-provoking.
