Zotye Gamme Zotye - utilitaires ou VUS
The core of Zotye's offering rested on sport-utility and crossover vehicles, ranging from compact to mid-size, with models such as the T300, T500, T600, T700, T800, SR7, and SR9. These vehicles targeted Chinese customers looking for plenty of space and presence for a low price, often in third- and fourth-tier cities. Several drew attention for their resemblance to European models, notably the SR9 inspired by the Porsche Macan and the T600 evoking Audi and Volkswagen SUVs. These vehicles were not sold in Canada. For a tire and wheel buyer, these are SUVs with wheel diameters typical of the segment (often around 16 to 19 inches depending on the trim); the exact size and bolt pattern must be checked on the vehicle, and approved winter tires should be planned for driving in Quebec.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme la marque n'est pas distribuée au Québec, on parle ici de véhicules d'importation rare. La gamme Zotye couvre des utilitaires compacts et intermédiaires ainsi que des berlines, qui adoptent généralement des jantes de diamètre courant pour ce type de véhicule (souvent autour de 16 à 19 pouces selon la taille et la finition), tandis que les petites électriques urbaines utilisent des roues plus petites. Faute de fitment homologué localement, il faut impérativement vérifier la dimension exacte du pneu, le diamètre et l'entraxe (bolt pattern) inscrits sur le véhicule avant tout achat. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver conformes sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars, un point essentiel pour ces utilitaires et berlines.
