Electric Technology Car News: Can the high cost-effectiveness of Zotye Z360, priced at 60,000 yuan, save the dismal sales?

Zotye can be said to be the most controversial car brand in the domestic market in the past two years. Whether it is a copycat or a reference, Zotye's previous SUVs have attracted a lot of attention. In the field of sedans, although there are many models, they have always been tepid. Zotye has also realized this problem and upgraded and revised its models. After the Z500 was revised, the Z300 also ushered in a revision and was upgraded to the Z360.

As a modified model of Z300, Z360 is basically similar in appearance, with the body size still being 4565mm*1766mm*1486mm and the wheelbase being 2700mm, which is relatively outstanding among cars of the same class.

In terms of appearance, the front grille still uses double horizontal chrome decoration, and the long headlights are fashionable and youthful. The rear styling is still the same as the Z300, with large flat taillights and large chrome decorations throughout the rear, making the rear look more obvious. In addition, the three reversing radar cameras at the rear are very conscientious.

Compared with the exterior, the changes in the interior are quite obvious. First of all, the interior is still based on black plastic, which is relatively calm and atmospheric. The steering wheel adopts a new three-spoke design, and adds leather and multi-function buttons. At the same time, the LOGO has also been changed. The display screen has been replaced with a 9-inch large screen, and the display effect is average. For the convenience of operation while driving, several commonly used physical buttons are retained below. In addition, the new model also adds a wireless charging function. Regarding the sunroof that consumers are concerned about, I am sorry that it is only available in mid-to-high-end models.

The seats of the z360 are made of black leather with red stitching, which gives it a sporty feel. The main driver's seat also supports electronic adjustment, and the rear seats are also equipped with headrests and central armrests, which greatly improves the comfort compared to the current models. The interior space is good in the rear row and is considered to be at the upper level in the same class, but the flatness of the trunk is average and the utilization rate is not very good.

As a car under Zotye, the configuration must be very good. The new car will be equipped with automatic air conditioning, electric adjustment of exterior mirrors, heated front seats, 6-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, 4-way electric adjustment of the co-driver's seat, electronic handbrake, tire pressure monitoring and other functions. The mid-range and above models will also be equipped with keyless entry, one-button start and wireless charging functions, which greatly enhances the sense of grade. Overall, it is very conscientious at this price.

In terms of power, it is still equipped with a 1.5L engine with a maximum horsepower of 113 and a peak torque of 141 Nm, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission. This power combination can only be said to be average.

91che (official account: 91che) believes that as an improved version of the old Z300, the appearance of the z360 has not changed much, and the interior is the focus of its changes. The addition of functions such as keyless entry, one-button start, and wireless charging has not only improved the car's sense of class, but also made it more competitive and cost-effective. If the price remains the same as the current model, it is indeed worth recommending.
