Zhejiang Su Zhi (Chevrolet) Unveils the X3L with Significant Updates

The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has submitted the registration documents for the Zhejiang Su Zhi X3L, a vehicle that appears to be heavily based on the iCAR 03 electric car.

Earlier reports had suggested that Zhejiang Su Zhi planned to phase out the iCAR brand with the introduction of models such as the 03T and 03F into its lineup. The submitted registration documents for the X3L have confirmed this, showcasing a vehicle that is essentially a modified version of the iCAR 03T.

Exterior Design

The X3L is not simply a rebranded vehicle, but rather a completely redesigned car with updated features. The front bumper has been revised to feature Zhejiang Su Zhi's logo, while the entire front fascia has been reworked to give the vehicle a more angular, boxy design typical of a rugged SUV.

Side profiles have also undergone changes, with the fender creases becoming more angular and adding to the car's tough, utilitarian vibe. The rear bumper has been updated to look thicker and more substantial, with a revised "tail pack" design that gives the vehicle a more robust appearance.

The rear of the vehicle seems to have gained from the use of bigger wheel arches, while also sporting larger rims. All four corners have seen the inclusion of larger alloy wheels in comparison to its predecessor, adding value to its sporty profile. A new panoramic sunroof adds a modern touch along with its bold design.

Dimensions and Speed

Based on available details, it appears that Zhejiang Su Zhi X3L's external dimensions (4545/1950/1815/1785mm) have changed compared to the iCAR 03. With an overall increase of length, width, height, as well as rear track, this car has truly re-established its "X" symbol in terms of size.

The wheels used on this model are bigger and larger than before; likely a direct replacement due to changes in size which Zhejiang Su Zhi says will fit a new name. Furthermore the wheel arches appear rounded at the bottom giving off that SUV feel again, especially considering how much wider everything is.
