Back in August 2017, HRL Motors debuted the 1.0 liter Z100 hatchback in Pakistan pricing PKR 11.72 lac. Now it to be seen that either the 2017 Zotye Z100 is a hit or a miss.
The Background
Once the cheapest car available in China was the Zotye Z100 with a price tag of 30,000 yuan (4.7 lac PKR) to 35,000 yuan (5.4 lac PKR). Z100 form its basis on 7th generation Suzuki Alto, nevertheless there is no news on the attainment of the 7th gen Alto platform by Zotye, which means the platform is pirated on like most Chinese vehicles.
First Impression- The Exterior
If we closely observe the The Z100 it seems like a good a vehicle and the on the whole design is pretty nice. On the other hand the space among tires is more that draws attention to the mini wheels which are opted to provide a give an enhanced fuel average. Specs worth mentioning are alloy wheels, body colors side mirrors and high-mount rear stop lamp.
As much as the excellence is concerned, it’s not bad yet not quite striking either. Pretty much analogous to any Pak Suzuki vehicle at the same time as the paint quality is fine, not outstanding.
The Interior
When it comes to façade features the Z100 has a very gorgeous and striking interior. The color amalgamation of beige, brown and black with tender touches of chrome & silver make the interior give the impression of being moderately fresh and interesting. But if you start to become aware of the fit & finish and massive gaps all over the place then you surely get to be confused and displeased by it .
The excellences of the materials used aren’t too inspiring and give the impression of being as if it was put simultaneously in rather a rush. This is comprehensible in view of the fact that the car take place as the cheapest car in China.
The analogue speedometer seems to be very nicely housed with a digital RPM, temperature, fuel, trip & odometer.
The seats are ornamented with beige & black harmonized completely with the interior of the car. It comes with all 4 power windows and arm rests. The external mirrors are electrically amendable at the same time as the orientation of headlight beam can also be controlled from inside. There is no properly built glove box; as a substitute the open cubicle given to keep your stuff is decent enough. The head & leg room appears to be cozy and right for both front and rear passengers.
The Engine
The Z100 is powered by a 1.0 liter 4 cylinder engine with 56hp, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine is quiet soundless and performs well while driving the car. According to HRL officials the Z100 is competent to accomplish up to 18 km per liter driven with a gentle accelerator.
