Zotye Z100 2014-2015

The Zotye Z100 is a small, compact hatchback car that was first introduced in 2012 as a 2013 model. The car was offered until 2017 and was introduced in Egypt as 2014 and 2015 models. It replaced a previous Chinese car based on the Suzuki Alto and was available with only a 1000cc engine and a manual transmission. The car was available in the Egyptian market as a version of the Celerio, and its price reached 55,000 Egyptian pounds at the time of its launch, making it one of the cheapest cars there and also one of the cheapest cars in the Chinese market.

The car was introduced earlier in Egypt and is still available in its new form today. However, the 2015 and 2016 models of the car, which belonged to the previous agency, did not differ much in appearance from the current models. These cars featured a simple exterior design with dark, swept-back headlights, the Zotye logo in the center of the front, a thin upper grille, and a larger one in the lower part. The lower part of the car features front fog lights.

It also features a large front door and a smaller rear door spoiler, horizontal red taillights, and a reasonably elegant interior design.

The car is 3.559 meters long, 1.620 meters wide, and 1.476 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.360 meters. The distance between the front wheels is 1.4 meters and the rear wheels is 1.405 meters. The car seats five passengers. It is a fairly small car inside. Although it has good interior touches, the materials used are ordinary and not exciting, as if the car was manufactured quickly. This explains why it is the cheapest car in China and one of the cheapest cars in Egypt.

Spare Parts

30%

The Zotye agent in Egypt is currently trying to provide spare parts for older models that were previously available, such as the Z100. However, it cannot be said that spare parts for the car are widely available in the local Egyptian market, especially given that the car is not widely available, which means that its spare parts are scarce, while its prices cannot be considered high, given that the car itself is one of the cheapest cars in Egypt.

Suspension

60%

McPherson strut front suspension and semi-independent rear suspension with trailing arm. The car also comes with dual hydraulic shock absorbers with suspension springs. The car can be considered low and close to the ground, but its lack of widespread acceptance meant it was unable to provide strong ratings for its stability and the ability of the suspension and chassis to withstand Egyptian roads. However, some of the car's ratings confirm its ability to handle bumps.

Resale

20%

The car doesn't have a good resale market, as its availability is very limited for both buying and selling, and it doesn't have a strong name to make it desirable. It can be said that there are similar small models dominating the small hatchback market, such as the Alto, Maruti, Picanto, and Spark.
