AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/17 Report--

Since Zotye was caught up in all kinds of "negative" news, the new cars that were originally due to be released this year have been announced with exact news, and its new car plan seems to be "stillborn". However, Hanlong brand, which is owned by Zotye, recently released a new car design drawing, which is expected to be the second model after Hanlong's death.

According to the picture, you can see the basic outline of the new car. The overall shape is obviously different from that of the first model. It tends to be more fashionable and dynamic. It is reported that this new car will be positioned SUV, or focus on young consumer groups. However, it is worth noting that this model is quite similar to the TS5 that Zotye will release soon.

According to the published preview map, the front face of the new car adopts through-chrome decorative strip, and the shape of the 4-point LED lamp strip connected with the left and right sides is completely consistent with that of Zotye TS5, among which the LED headlights are arranged by 4 rectangular lamp groups. However, since the preview only shows part of the design, the bumper has not yet been shown. However, the center of the chrome-plated strip is the latest LOGO of Hanlong, which is similar in size to Zotye LOGO.

The waistline on the side of the body runs from the front fender to the rear and highlights the wide wings on the side, while the tail line at the rear quickly drops to show that the new car will adopt a slip-back styling design. The design style of the sliding back shape and the roof line are also basically the same as those of Zotye TS5 models, and the car also has a suspended roof design.

Not only the front face and the side, but also the rear design of the body in the preview of this release adopts the shape of TS5 through-type light belt plus four-point light source on the left side, although the overall display does not give more design content. However, according to the three kinds of forecast pictures released by Hanlong this time, it can be basically guessed that the new car is very similar to the TS5 to be released by Zhongtai. For this, there is speculation in the industry that the new car released by Hanlong this time may be the TS5 to realize the target change.

As we all know, since the end of last year, Zotye Automobile encountered a "bankruptcy" news was spread, it began to be frequently exposed arrears, production, debt news, so that it is almost on the edge of the market, even if the company also made many clarifications, and said that it will be listed this year the latest model of the country six models-TS 5, but this year has been more than half, Zotye Automobile in addition to the brand has been marginalized, performance has also been significantly troubled.

At the same time, the company also because the financial information disclosure is not timely and inaccurate, Zhongtai Chairman Jin Zheyong and other senior executives were named warning. At present, the subordinate bases of Zotye Automobile are basically in the state of shutdown or semi-shutdown, which leads to a sharp decline in the production and sales of automobiles of the company and a sharp decline in sales revenue, resulting in a large performance loss. In 2019, Zotye sold only 21224 new cars cumulatively.

Zhongtai Automobile said in an announcement that the company has not yet produced normally due to the availability of funds, but the preparations for resumption of production have been ready, and the funds can be officially resumed for continuous operation.

According to the data, Hanlong Automobile is an automobile manufacturing project of Daye Branch of Zhejiang Zhongtai Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., which can be regarded as a new brand under Zhongtai Group. Therefore, the financial difficulties of Zhongtai Automobile may also bring certain impact to Hanlong brand. As for whether the new car can be listed or which brand to list, it can only be given to the future market to give answers.
