More good news about Zhongxing (ZX Auto). Production of the Urban Ark has begun, it will be launched on the Chinese car market in June. The Urban Ark debuted as two-concepts on the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, price will start around 60.000 yuan.
Zhongxing calls the Urban Ark, which is by far the best English name for a Chinese car we have heard so far, an ‘AUV’, which stands for ‘Activity Utility Vehicle’.

New pictures of the production version of the Zhongxing Urban Ark, it will debut on the Shanghai Auto Show in April and it will be launched on the China auto market in the second half of this year. Price will range from 70.000 to 90.000 yuan. Weird green-ish paint job doesn’t do the Urban Ark much good, the vehicle loox much better in primary colors such as red, black or blue.

Published on October 11, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Zhongxing is working on a new pickup truck, called the ‘Tiger TUV’ (威虎 TUV, Weihu TUV). What TUV stands for is yet unknown but we think it might be Truck Utility Vehicle or maybe ‘Tiger Utility Vehicle’. The TUV is likely based on the Tiger F1 pickup truck which became kinda famous on the Beijing Auto Show last April when Zhongxing used imagaed from the Lybian war to promote the vehicle.

Zhongxing uses Libyan War to sell cars at the Beijing Auto Show
Published on April 24, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
Amazing propaganda, or good salesmanship, today at the Beijing Auto Show. Chinese automaker Zhongxing showed images of the Libyan civil war on a giant screen behind its new Weihu pickup truck. The connection: Zhongxing was world news in August last year when television showed Libyan rebels conquering the country in older Zhongxing pickup trucks. The footage was widely shown on Chinese TV, websites and printed media. Zhongxing took note and used the images to promote their ‘stronger than war’ vehicles.

Zhongxing Urban Ark will debut at the Beijing Auto Show
Published on April 19, 2012 by Tycho de Feyter
This is the new Zhongxing Urban Ark, a small SUV that will debut at the Beijing Auto Show next week. The Urban Ark already wins my prize for the best named car. Congrats! But!, ‘Urban Ark’ is literally translated from its Chinese name,都市方舟. Zhongxing, aka ZTE Auto, might still use a different English name. If they do, they loose the prize, except for sure when the other name is even better…

New spy shots from the upcoming Zhongxing (aka ZTE Auto) C11 Crossover testing in China and fortunately it still got its funky front instead of a completely different front we saw on some renderings in February, that car is probably a different vehicle based on the same platform.
