Zotye Auto (Chinese: 众泰汽车; pinyin: Zhòngtài Qìchē; officially Zotye International Automobile Trading Co., Ltd.) is a privately owned Chinese automobile manufacturer based in Yongkang, Zhejiang, China.
In 2005, because of their reputation as a reliable partner, Zotye established contracts for sales subsidiaries in 10 different countries.
The Zotye Nomad bears a remarkable resemblance to the Daihatsu Terios (see also Automotive industry in China).

[7] The E20 EV is a small electric car produced by Zhidou Auto for Zotye.
[8] The E30 EV is a small electric car that looks very much like the older version of the Smart Fortwo.
Launched at the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, its body shares the look of the Smart's individually painted Tridion safety cell and wheel-in-each-corner layout.
The central console is reported as having been inspired by the Tesla Model S, with a large touch screen.
Zotye claim that the E30 has a top speed exceeding 80 km/h and a driving range of 150 km.
[10] The E20 EV is an even smaller electric car that also looks a bit like the older version of the Smart Fortwo.
Zotye claim that the E200 has a top speed exceeding 80 km/h and a driving range of 120 km.
[12] The E300 is a multi purpose vehicle based on the Fiat Multipla but using an electric power train instead of the petrol engined M300.
It is still sold as the "Nomad" but also as the Zotye Hunter in various export markers, and also in India as the Premier Rio.
At the 2013 Shanghai Auto Show, Zotye introduced their new Z100 model, a five-door hatchback city car, with a design very much inspired from the seventh generation Suzuki Alto.
[24] The Zotye Z200 and Z200HB are subcompact sedans and hatchback based on the Fiat Siena and Palio respectively.
[32][33][34] A higher trim model with completely redesigned front DRG and rear bumper called the Zotye T600 Sport was revealed in May 2016.
Another higher trim model featuring redesigned DLO and D pillars called the Zotye T600 Coupe was revealed in March 2017.
Previewed by the T600 S Concept launched on the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, the T700 has been the flagship SUV of the Zotye brand ever since.
Based on the T700, the Zotye T800 is a full-size SUV revealed during the 2018 Beijing Auto Show essentially being a longer version of the T700.
