Zotye 2008
Motor vehicle
The Zotye 2008 is a small 5-door SUV produced by Zotye Auto. A facelifted version is sold as the Zotye 5008, and is known in export markets as Nomad and Hunter. The car is named in honour of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and also goes by the model project number XS6402.[citation needed]
It was reported that Zotye had bought the tools and parts of the first generation Terios model from Daihatsu in Taiwan when Daihatsu launched the second generation model.[1] Daihatsu Terios is sold in China as the Huali Dario which is made by the Tianjin FAW.
Although it has been alleged that the car is a copy of the which firm, and it has been noted that whilst the front treatment of the grill differs considerably, the rear of the car is nearly identical, the presses for the body panels and associated parts were in fact purchased from Japan in 2006 when Daihatsu launched the new generation Terios.[citation needed]
A facelifted Zotye 5008 was produced as the Zotye T200 from 2013 with a new front and rear, and a revised interior.[2] Production for the T200 ended in 2016.
