Zotye 2008
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zotye 2008 is a small 5 door SUV produced by an offshoot of the Zhejiang Tech-New Group called Zotye Auto in Zhejiang, China.
The car is named in honour of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and also goes by the model project number XS6402. Although it has been alleged that the car is a blatant copy of the Daihatsu Terios which has been made in China as the Huali Dario Terios and by the Anhui Anchi Motor firm, and it has been noted that whilst the front treatment of the grill differs considerbly the rear of the car is nearly identical, the presses for the body panels and associated parts were in fact purchased from Daihatsu Motor Corporation (DMC), Japan, in 2006 when DMC launched the new generation Terios. Engine designs were not purchased from DMC and the Zotye uses a range of Mitsubushi-derived engines.
It has also some modifications in the salon, roof cover, wheels, and the Engine.
