Very sweet interior with sporty dials, wood, alu detailing, and a large screen in the center console. Note luxurious-looking upholstery on the doors, they got the same stuff on the seats.

Screen is not-touch but button-controlled. Showing the radio here. Also has sat-nav, radio and telephone.

The seats. Very Bentley-esque. Great to see seat design like this on a Zotye.

The Z500 will be positioned above the Zotye Z300 sedan. Power will come from a new 1.5 turbo four-cylinder petrol engine with 150hp and 195nm, mated to a 5-speed manual or a CVT. Zotye is also working on a new 1.8 and 1.8 turbo that will be launched later in 2015.

Probably the best looking Zotye so far. Lower part of rear bumper particularly nice.

Grille a tad too subtle maybe? All taken together a fine looking car with a hip interior, a powerful-enough engine and a reasonable price. Will the Z500 be a much-needed winner for Zotye..?

  1. Good looking car this is, isn’t it? I’m very impressed. Zotye’s designs have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two to three years.
