Zotye are one of China’s leading SUV manufacturers, they tried to move onto producing other models such as the Fiat Multiplan under their own Zotye brand and also the Fiat Palio sedan and hatch models, but they are best remembered as the manufacturer of the funny little SUV. Zotye are actually planning five new cars for the Shanghai Auto Show, but we only have details on the below mini car, the five new cars are A00, A01, A11, B11 and S21.

It could be the that the S21 is a Lancia derived product, as Zotye did take control of some Lancia sedan platforms last year that they plan to use under the own brand. The below pictured A00 model is the super mini were talking about today, the car is expected to have better technology than its nearest rivals, the BYD E6, Riich M1 and also BYD F0 but coming in at the same price.

The A11 model is expected to be a compact crossover with a wheelbase of 2800mb, but priced between 96,800rmb and 139,800. We wonder what it could be? More info at the Shanghai Auto Show.
