The Zotye Traum S70 has been launched on the Chinese
car market, and it has become quite a good looking car, mixing elements of an
MPV and an SUV, with a big black grille as the pea on the pie.
Traum is a new brand under Zotye Auto. Traum means
dream in German. The Traum brand is aimed at young and cool people. The Chinese
name has nothing with dreams of Germany; Junma (君马) is best translated as Supreme Horse. The English slogan is Driven
by Dreams. The Chinese slogan, translated, Dream for a Horse.
The Traum-branded cars are
manufactured by Jiangnan Auto, a subsidiary of Zotye most famous for building
China’s cheapest car; the Jinan Alto, a continuation of the ancient second
generation Suzuki Alto. The Traum S70 is the first car of the Traum brand, with
many SUVs, crossovers, and MPVs waiting in the wings.
Price starts at 81.900 yuan and ends at 115.900
yuan. Lone engine is a 1.5 turbo with 158 Hp and 215 Nm. The engine is mated to
a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic, sending horses to the front wheels. A
116 Hp 1.6 will be added to the lineup later. Dimension size is 4746/1882/1700 mm, and
wheelbase is 2800 mm.
Party piece of the Traum S70 is the dashboard with a
25 inch screen, which really consists of two separate screens: one for the
instrument panel and one for the infotainment. The Traum S70 is equipped with a
air purifying system to get the dirty 2.5 PM particles out of the smoggy
Chinese air.
