Zotye T500 with original design and regular price starting at RMB 80,000 may be launched in March

Previously, Zotye was always labeled as a "copycat of Volkswagen" because most of its models imitated Volkswagen, Audi and even Porsche. However, with the launch of Zotye T700, which has a more original appearance, we can see that Zotye is trying to get rid of the copycat label through its own efforts. Looking at Zotye T500, which will be launched in March-April, it can be said that Zotye has entered the mainstream.

Zotye T500 is positioned between Zotye T300 and T700. It is a new SUV model under Zotye. Its pre-sale price starts from 80,000 yuan. The front face of the new car is full of layers. The combination of hexagonal air intake grille and LED automatic headlights is mature and stable, but young people will also like it. (Official account: 91che) The integrated taillight at the rear is the most popular design nowadays, and it also echoes the front face. The length, width and height of Zotye T500 are 4632/1850/1695mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. It is expected to be positioned as a compact SUV.

The interior of the new car also adopts a new personalized design style. The design layout of the central control area is very layered, with a floating central control screen, a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a row of staggered function button areas, which combine a sense of sportiness and technology.

In terms of configuration, Zotye T500 is also full of sincerity. The new car will provide one-button start, keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring, panoramic image, driving recorder, touch-screen silent air conditioning, LCD instrument panel and panoramic sunroof according to different models. High-end models will also be equipped with high-end configurations such as ACC adaptive cruise control and AEB automatic emergency braking system.

The new car will be equipped with a 1.5T engine, with an estimated maximum power of 156 horsepower and a peak torque of 205 Nm. The transmission system will be matched with a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed manual-automatic gearbox. Due to the decline in sales of Zotye SR9 and Damai X7, Zotye failed to achieve its sales target of 400,000 units in 2017. Now it has changed its appearance and embarked on the bright road of original design. I believe that this alone deserves our recognition.
