The official premiere of crossover Zotye T600 held in April 2013 at the podium Shanghai motor show, and immediately caused a lot of heated debate in the automotive community. The point, of course, the appearance of the new Chinese crossover from Zotye Auto. Designers say the least, given its similarity to the creation of an unprecedented crossover German Volkswagen Touareg (front and profile of the body), and the stern copied from Audi Q5 and Acura RDX.
Plagiarism clean water, and these “sheep Dolly” the Chinese auto industry produces dozens. European, American, Japanese and South Korean automakers are already resigned to the fact of permanent copy of their products and create … with Chinese joint venture companies, because the car market in China the most promising and capacious in the world.
Zotye is following Haval’s example by launching ever more variant and variant of variants of exiting cars, all based on the same platform with the same engines and almost the same price points. The latest addition to the Zotye lineup is the T600 Coupe, the production version of the T600 S concept.
It is based on the Zotye T600. It should not be confused with the T600 Sport, which is a sporty version of the T600. The T600 Coupe is also a sporty version of the T600, but with an extra unique design; most notably at the front with new lights and a new grille and at the completely different D-pillar with.
Interestingly, the design of the dash differs from both the T600 and the T600 Sport. It has a digital instrument panel, an 8-inch touch screen, which is not very large for today’s standards, perforated pedals for extra Coupe speed, and loads of orange leather.
The new Zotye T600 Sport has been launched on the Chinese car market. Price starts at 95.800 yuan and ends at 149.800 yuan. The T600 Sport is a high end variant of the Zotye T600 SUV. The Sport comes with new LED lights, a new grille, a larger bumper, racy air intakes in said bumper, ans Sport-only alloys. The best however happens inside:
After a redesign just last year, the Mitsubishi Outlander gets a few more updates for 2017. The previously optional 6.1-inch touchscreen and rearview camera are now standard. New optional features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, automatic high beams, a 360-degree camera system and a heated steering wheel. Mitsubishi has also eliminated its optional navigation system from the options list. Finally, all-wheel drive is now available on the base ES trim.
Pros Generous list of standard features Standard three-row seating.
Cons Slow acceleration with the base four-cylinder Some desirable features are available only on pricey and thirsty GT Limited Mitsubishi dealer network.
The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander provides functional family appeal for a reasonable price, but the powertrains are weak, the third-row seat space is tiny, and the infotainment features are behind the times.
Pros Pleasant ride Available active safety features Third-row seat can be used in a pinch Advanced all-wheel-drive system available Quiet cabin
Cons V-6 model too expensive Bland, unassuming looks Infotainment behind the curve Tiny third row
The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander ranks 17 out of 18 Compact SUVs. The 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander has a high-quality interior and confidence-inspiring safety scores. It's also one of few compact SUVs that comes with a third row of seats, but they're too small for adults. It all goes downhill from there: dull performance, a rough ride, a hard-to-use infotainment system, and subpar predicted reliability.
Pros Quiet cabin High-quality interior materials Standard third-row seating
Cons Poor reliability rating Underpowered engine Rough ride Few standard features
