Zotye T600 review. External and technical characteristics. Interior

Options and prices

If you look at the photo of the Zotye T600, you can see that the new body of the brainchild of the Chinese car industry really resembles the German Volkswagen Touareg, but the price for the Chinese is several times lower. The Zoti T600 2021 model, like many budget cars from the Middle Kingdom, is available with not the most outstanding technical characteristics, but the equipment options deserve attention.

Luxury

The basic equipment includes a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with a turbocharger. In addition, the crossover can be equipped with VIALE factory gas equipment, which allows the Zotye T600 to run on gasoline and compressed gas. In the case of buying a car with pre-installed HBO, its cost will be 1,091,600 rubles. Without it, the price does not even reach one million and will be 971,600 rubles.

Without HBO, the price of a car is 1,046,600 rubles, with it the cost of an SUV increases by 120,000 rubles. In addition, the 2021 Zotye T600 is distinguished from the basic configuration by the presence of a standard start-stop system, while in Luxury this option is available as an option. Also, xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights and fog lights, the ability to install a headlight washer and a rain sensor (optional) are added to the external equipment. Interior equipment includes a leather steering wheel, audio control on the steering wheel, leather seat upholstery, keyless entry (optional). Side airbags, front and rear parking sensors are added to active and passive safety systems. Amenities include full-fledged climate control, a car radio with support for 6 speakers, AUX, USB and Ipod, a full-color LCD monitor with navigation.

S.A.T Royal

In this version, a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a robotic gearbox is available. But this variation differs not only in the presence of a different power unit in the engine compartment, but also in the list of supplied equipment that is different from other configurations. Namely:

• 18-inch wheels;
• electric parking brake (optional);
• light sensor (optional);
• the presence of an adjustable sunroof in the roof (optional);
• electric driver’s seat in 6 positions;
• electrically heated front passenger seat;

• dashboard backlight adjustment;
• eyeglass case;

Fully equipped and with a top-end 2021 Zoti T600 engine, it will cost the buyer 1.23 million rubles. It is worth saying that the installation of gas-cylinder equipment is not provided for this motor.

Trunk

The size of the luggage compartment is small, it is equal to 344 liters. The door opens to a height of average human height (about 175-180 centimeters), the loading height is quite comfortable.

The trunk does not differ in functionality; it does not provide for any additional hooks, fasteners or compartments.

The backs of the rear seats fold down to form an almost flat area, a full-size spare tire is located in a niche under a rather thin false panel.

There is an organizer with tools on top of the spare wheel, and there is also an upper shelf in the luggage compartment.

About the new generation before the official premiere

In the spring of 2018, it became known that the release of Zoti T600 2018 – 2019 model year (2nd generation) was being prepared. So far, the manufacturer does not plan to raise prices too much (the new crossover will be 150-180 thousand rubles more expensive), but it promises to make full-scale changes.

But, judging by the preliminary data, this will be another restyling: it is planned to slightly tweak the shape of the body (the Zoti 600 will no longer have anything in common with the clone) and “redraw” the interior (the profile of the seats will also change, more expensive materials will be used for decoration ). The engines will remain the same, the appearance of modifications with all-wheel drive is still not expected. But the manufacturer will offer configurations with a 6DCT 1.8-liter 177-horsepower engine and a 5-speed manual or 6DCT 2-liter 190-horsepower engine.

Design

As has been repeatedly said, outwardly Zoti T600 is similar to the Volkswagen Touareg. Of course, this does not apply to its size. Zoti is noticeably smaller than the German in size. In front of the car, a wide radiator grille is installed, combining two medium-sized headlights. Along the grille are two horizontal chrome lines, which are interrupted by the emblem of the Zotye brand. A little lower is a massive bumper with large round foglights. The lower part is protected by a black plastic overlay. It is worth noting that the rear lights are similar to the optics of the Audi Q5. Between them, a wide chrome-plated “saber” is installed on the tailgate. Above the rear window there is a small spoiler in body color, in which an additional brake light is mounted.

Inside the car looks modern. In the center of the front panel is the screen of the multimedia system, under which is the climate control unit. To the left is a stylish dashboard with analog gauges. The front seats have pronounced lateral support.

The 2021 Zotye T600 has a pretty good trunk. Its length to the backs of the rear seats is 903 mm. And the height to the ceiling is 703 mm. In addition, on the sides of the trunk there are niches for storing things. Loading heavy items may not be very convenient due to the high threshold.
