Zotye Z100


The Zotye Z100 is a subcompact hatchback produced by Zotye Auto. Originally launched as the new Jiangnan TT in prototype form, the production version was renamed to Zotye Z100 to fit into the refreshed Zotye product line.[2][3] The Zotye Z100 debuted during the 2012 Shanghai Auto Show,[4] and was launched in the Chinese market since September 2013, replacing the Jiangnan TT, which was based on the Suzuki Alto CA71 sold from 1988 to 2013 in China. The only engine choice for the Z100 is a 1.0 litre 3 cylinder engine known as the TNN3G10K. A 5 speed manual is also paired with it.[5][6]

Chronology
PredecessorJiangnan TT

Despite the styling of the Zotye Z100 being very similar to the Suzuki Alto, and the predecessor, Jiangnan TT being a licensed rebadge version of the Suzuki Alto, the Zotye Z100 has nothing to do with Suzuki, but rather a car with styling heavily inspired by the Suzuki Alto.[3] The Zotye Z100 was discontinued after a short run, but the electric versions including the Zotye Cloud 100Plus and Zotye Cloud 100S continued to be sold.
