Zotye
has a very good look at the Audi A6 for the interior. Nevertheless, quality
seems good. Pop-up screen for the infotainment system. Lots of wood and
leather. Analogue clock with a spacey blue background. Only dissonant is the
steering wheel which looks far too 2015.
Graphics
are acceptable. Functions will include satellite navigation, television, 3G
internet, email, telephone, and a music system. Clock here with a black
background. Wood looks good. Electronic parking brake. The Z700 also gets: ABS,
EBD, and a fancy autonomous-parking system.
The
top-spec variant get a panoramic sunroof. Door handles and tailpipes in chrome.
The rear end with a shark fin antenna and a subtle spoiler in the boot lid.
