A competent enough scooter love card to test drive Zotye Z100.
[XCAR test drive original]
What are the necessary qualities for a scooter? Affordable, safe and reliable, car maintenance is guaranteed, and these happen to be the development concept of Zotye Z100. Although the appearance is very similar to Suzuki New Alto, the price is much cheaper than Alto.
As a 1.0L+5MT A00 class car, the starting price of 29,999 yuan is absolutely attractive. In terms of safety, Zotye Z100 high-profile model (priced at 34,999 yuan) is equipped with front double airbags and ABS+EBD;, which are very rare at the same price; In terms of car maintenance, Zotye Z100 has also achieved the longest warranty period of 4 years or 150,000 kilometers at the same level.
For the A00 class car like Zotye Z100, the body size is obviously not its strong point. The length, width and height of 3559mm/1620mm/1476mm can only be regarded as quite satisfactory in this class of vehicles, and the same wheelbase of 2360mm as Suzuki Alto makes Zotye Z100 ahead of its competitors at the same level.
In terms of appearance, although Zotye Z100 is very similar to Suzuki Alto, the redesigned front face looks younger than Alto. Although the front air intake grille with a small top and a large bottom is not decorated with chrome, it is relatively attractive as a whole; The blackened headlights and integrated front bumper make the front face of Zotye Z100 very dynamic. Except for the rim shape, the side shape of Zotye Z100 is almost the same as that of Alto. In terms of the rear end, Zotye Z100 also maintains a high similarity with Alto, but it is different from some lines in the shape of taillights.
In terms of interior, Zotye Z100 still maintains a high similarity with Alto in overall design. It is worth mentioning that Zotye Z100 uses a distinctive coffee interior style, which also increases the overall visual effect of the interior to some extent. Although the three-spoke steering wheel is made of rubber, it imitates the design of perforated leather to improve the visual effect of the steering wheel and feel good.
Zotye Z100′ s instrument panel is designed in two colors. What is more distinctive is that the tachometer is designed in the middle LCD screen and displayed in digital form. For drivers who are used to reading hands, it really needs to adapt. In terms of materials, Zotye Z100 didn’t surprise everyone, and kept the touch of "one hard to the end", which is consistent with the consistent level of this class. However, in some interior details, Zotye Z100 still has a lot of room for improvement, such as joint treatment, exposed screws and slightly loose air conditioning outlets.
