Zotye T800 2018 – 7-seat flagship crossover Zotye auto

Chinese New 7-seat crossover Zotye T800 is officially presented in China and is preparing to enter the local market in the 2nd quarter of 2018. The new Zotye T800 crossover is a platform, the big brother of the Zotye T700 model and will delight customers with a comfortable 7-seater interior with modern equipment, a huge luggage compartment that can take about 2000 liters of cargo, a 231-horsepower 2.0 turbo gasoline engine in the company with 8 automatic transmissions, and stylish appearance created by Chinese designers with an eye on the British crossover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Discovery. In our review of the new Zotye T800 2018-2019, there is a photo, price, equipment and technical characteristics of the crossover of the flagship of the Chinese company Zotye Auto. According to preliminary information,

To be honest, it's worth noting that Zoti T800 is a stretch to call a new model. The Chinese manufacturer, in our opinion, was simply deceived. In fact, the 7-seater T800 crossover is an exact copy of the T700, but increased to 4910 mm in overall body length and a slightly raised roof, we offer a standard 3-row seat in the cabin with a seating formula 2 + 3 + 2 more powerful engine and the most stuffed with options.

It is almost impossible to distinguish the models, and only through a careful and detailed study of the crossover in profile, you will notice that the rear of the Zotye T800 is more massive than the Zotye T700 in the interior. Designers, by the way, you have to give a big plus for such a delicate job, providing Zoti's flagship with a dynamic and exciting body profile.

• The external dimensions of the body of the Zotye T800 2018-2019 are 4910 mm long, 1933 mm wide and 1755 mm high with a 2850 mm wheelbase.
• The crossover is fitted with standard 19-inch 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in 235/55 R19 comfort tires.
• If desired, buyers can purchase new and larger 20-inch wheels with low-profile 275/45 P20 tires.

The new Chinese sedan Zotye T800, like its younger brother Zotye T700 in the interior, its stylish and modern appearance will of course be Land Rover models. One look at the new Zotye Auto crossover to understand how some models were inspired by its creators. A copy was not spoken, but the style is clearly borrowed.

The front part of the crossover from China was formed by a stylish fusion of narrowed LED headlights, a neat trapezoidal grille and a massive bumper with a huge air intake on the upper border placed by flourishes of LED daytime running lights and narrow LED headlights.

The side steel body of the Chinese crossover looks amazing and wears trendy design pieces. In the presence of a long hood, round wheel arch cutouts, stylish stampings on the doors with imitation of air ducts, a floating roof rapidly flowing aft, a durable, attractive and stylish kitchen.

The rear of the body demonstrates the severity of the lines and the straightness of the surfaces. Large, well-shaped tailgate with compact glass, complemented by an upper spoiler, narrow LED taillights with impeccable style and content, a massive bumper, lavishly dressed in a protective suit of black plastic, complete with pseudo-exhaust tips and a neat rear spoiler.

The interior of the new Chinese crossover Zotye T800 is consistent with the design, and perhaps even cooler. In this salon, literally, you can surprise the owners of not only Korean and Japanese crossovers, but even motorists who prefer European models. I'm not afraid to repeat myself and say that the cabin is cool and chic. This applies to materials and assembly, as well as the availability of the most modern and advanced equipment.

The photo in the review shows the richest version of the 7-seater Zoti T800 crossover with a virtual dashboard, a sports multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters for forced gear shifting, a 10-inch touch screen multimedia system, leather trim (seats, front panel, door cards).

Same three-zone climate control, driver and front passenger seats, electrically adjustable (passenger can move forward and recline even 2nd row passengers), heated and ventilated, electronic handbrake and automatic valet, downhill assist, parking sensors, all-round visibility system, adaptive cruise control with start / stop system, keyless entry to the car and engine start button, blind spot monitoring system for rear-view mirrors, large panoramic roof with a size of 1200 mm x 720 mm with a sunroof. The rear door with an electric drive and even the side doors are equipped with door closers!!!

Three passengers of the second row are offered comfortable chairs that can move along the cabin and change the angle of the backrest. There is enough space in all directions for comfort. Anchor on two chairs will sit with a minimum level of comfort for two adults, provided that their height does not exceed 170 centimeters.

A separate topic is the luggage compartment of the new Zotye T800 Chinese crossover, which claims to be the flagship of Zotye Auto. In the stowed state with a driver and six passengers on board, the trunk has a modest and useful, and a meager amount of only 92 liters. However, 3 rows folded exactly to the floor of the back, we have a rather impressive volume of the luggage compartment in the region of 1005 liters (length 1100 mm, minimum width 1170 mm, height 860 mm) and fold the second row of seats, you can count on more than 1900 liters of cargo volume.
