The best photos so far of the upcoming Traum Seek5,
formerly known as the Traum D50. ‘Seek5’ is the name of the vehicle. And if
that sounds odd, try the Traum Meet 3. 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 Seek5 is the third Traum, after the
aforementioned Meet3 and the more sensible named Traum S70. The Seek5 stands on
the same platform as the D70, their wheelbase is identical: 2800 mm.
- Size Traum Seek 5: 4771/1859/1706 mm
- Size Traum D70: 4746/1882/1700 mm
Both cars are seven-seat SUVs, same size, and
powered by the same engines; a 116 hp 1.6 and a 156 hp 1.5 turbo. Pricing will
be in the same range as well. The S70 starts at 82,000 and ends at 115.900
yuan. The Seek 5 will likely be slightly cheaper.
This doesn’t make much sense but Zotye loves it.
They also sell a dozen SUVs under the Zotye name that are all similar in price
and size.
