Vehicle model
Zotye Gamme Zotye - véhicules particuliers
Beyond SUVs, Zotye produced a family of sedans and small passenger cars, including the Z200, Z300, Z360, Z500, Z560, and Z700, supplemented by compacts such as the 2008 and the 5008. These vehicles targeted budget-conscious Chinese customers looking for affordable daily transportation. The brand drew attention for its stylistic borrowings from foreign models. These cars were not offered in Canada or Quebec. From a tire and wheel standpoint, these are sedans and compacts with wheel sizes common for their category (generally smaller than those of the brand's SUVs); the exact size and bolt pattern must be read on the vehicle, and approved winter tires are essential for the Quebec winter.

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.
