Zotye Has a New Car, Positioned as a Pure Electric Small Vehicle, Planned for Mass Production Delivery in Early 2027

When talking about Zotye, everyone's first label for it is "knockoff", but as its reputation declined, news about it has become less frequent in recent years. Recently, we obtained new car information: its international right-hand drive model, custom-developed for overseas markets, has officially rolled off the production line. It is reported that the new car is named Wink Y01, with mass production delivery planned for early 2027. As for how the new car is, let's keep reading.

The new car is built on the Zotye Auto S pure electric small car technology platform, and its styling is based on Light Orange Era VC, although Light Orange Era declared bankruptcy in 2025. Looking closely, the biggest highlight of the new car is the large-tilt front windshield, and it also features a triangular window in the A-pillar, so driving visibility is not a concern. The full-width light bar is naturally not missing, featuring triangular headlight styling, with good identifiability.

Looking at the side, the new car adopts a two-tone body design, giving it a very youthful appearance. The door handles use a semi-hidden design, and the wheels also feature a low-drag profile, which fits the needs of current new energy vehicles well. The new car measures 3912/1745/1545mm, with a wheelbase of 2520mm, placing this size between the BYD Seagull and Dolphin.

Moving on to the interior, the new car's cabin is very minimalist, and the screen size is very large, offering a decent tech feel. The use of through-type air vents also widens the visual effect of the cabin to a certain extent. However, to be honest, this design still reveals a hint of cheapness.

There is no news on the power performance for the moment, but the official claims that the new car's three-electric system, smart configurations, and driving experience will all align with international travel standards.

Let's add a few more words about this vehicle. Previously, Zotye Auto signed a KD factory cooperation agreement with Indian partners for an annual production of 30,000 units, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Indonesia's BPKN. According to the plan, Zotye will accelerate its globalization layout in the future, with South Asia and Southeast Asia as the core, focusing on opening up markets such as India and Indonesia, with long-term planning to cover 55 countries globally. According to business goals, it strives to complete cooperation agreements with 25 country dealers by the end of 2026.
