Zotye S21 (Audi Q3 Clone) at 2015 Chengdu Motor Show

There are no points for guessing that the S21 borrows its design from the Audi Q3, while inside, Tesla’s Model S provides design motivation.

Keen-eyed Audi enthusiasts can easily tell the similarities, with respect to its exterior design. Although Zotye hasn’t gone to the extent of borrowing the large Audi 6-point grille, the headlamps, side profile and rear are instantly familiar. However, it still comes with exclusive touches, as seen in the bumper design with LED DRLs, dual-slat grille, and dual exhaust tips.

The interior, however, borrows cues from the Tesla Model S, as seen in the large touchscreen display with a similar-looking user interface (the show car was locked, and the windows tinted to avoid prying eyes). It comes with a 360 degree camera view, leather upholstery and white contrast stitching.

The Zotye S21 packs a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox or a CVT unit.
