In 2013,
BMW and
Brilliance decided to create a new
electric car brand for the domestic
Chinese market called Zinoro. The first vehicle of the branch to join the offer was the compact
crossover Zinoro 1E developed as a twin version of the
BMW X1, differing from it to a moderate extent visually, and above all - instead of an internal combustion engine, a purely
electric drive. Two years later, during the 2015 Shanghai Auto Show, Zinoro presented the Concept Next prototype, which was a study announcement of the successor of the
1E model, and the vehicle debuted in production form in June 2016. Unlike its predecessor, the
Zinoro 60H is a combustion-electric car of the
plug-in hybrid type. Like its predecessor, the car is a twin model of the next incarnation
BMW X1. Zinoro cars were offered in parallel with the
BMW sister products exclusively on the
Chinese market. ==Products==
