The best Spy Shots of the upcoming Zotye Z600 for China, showing a surprisingly strong design. The Zotye Z600 is scheduled to debut on the Shanghai Auto Show in April with a launch on the Chinese car market around the same time. The Z600 is the largest Zotye sedan so far, it will be positioned above the recently launched Zotye Z500 sedan.
A very neat interior. Lots of wood and leather. Nice clock between the air vents. Pop-out screen located just above said vents. Controller for said screen located behind the gear lever. Start button and electronic parking brake. Who would have expected all this tech in a Zotye just five years ago..? They have come a long way and they are suddenly moving very fast. One to keep an eye on…
Duel tone seats are a new trend in China, mostly matching a bright color with a dark one. Zotye however goes for black and brown, which also doesn’t go very well with beige doors and black floor mats. But there seems to be a lot of space and it looks well-put together again.
Sleek design around the C-pillar and that boot is going to be big. Chrome strips around the windows. Chromed door handles. Wheels a tiny bit too small, but not as extreme as on other Chinese cars.
The front end looks strangely similar to the VW CC. If fact, I though it WAS a CC at first. And that dashboard is pretty much identical to that in the Audi A6/A7. That’s really disappointing.
From the outside, in terms of proportions and general aesthetics this is very similar to the existing Audi A6, only the small details are different.
For the interior, this is an almost exact copy of the A6 in terms of design. So Basically, Zotye has ‘come a long way’ by basically copying, as is still the norm in the automotive industry in China unfortunately.
I agree. Besides influence from the CC on the front end, I am seeing cues from the A6 on the exterior now as well. I noticed the interior already. It really is unfortunate.
The exterior has several design cues from the VW CC. The interior is an upgrade from the Zotye Z500 but it’s too similar to the A6 for my liking (Come on Zotye, you could at least squeeze an LCD in that central console) and I kinda missed the Bentley-styled seats. It is actually a pretty disappointing effort from Zotye (Although consumers would likely forgive it if the price is right).
