ZAP Jonway exhibited 7 vehicles, unveiling its 2013 new Jonway-Falcon model announced earlier, and also its new Italian designed models for both the 5-door and the 3-door SUVs, designed by MAGGORIA/VIOTTI.  ZAP Jonway is focused at delivering not only quality vehicles but quality SUVs with style to match the growing sentiments of Chinese consumers for luxury with elegance.  ZAP Jonway's partnership with MAGGORIA/VIOTTI exemplifies its commitment to artistic value, to differentiate amongst its Chinese competitors to address above and beyond the basic requirements of performance.

ZAP Jonway pioneered the SUV market, starting with its 3-door model more than nine years ago long before any Chinese auto manufacturers offered SUV models.  Today SUV enjoys the largest growth in sales in China.  SUV sales in China grew 49 percent in March compared to the previous year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. According to Bob Socia, President of GM in China, "Our focus is on luxury vehicles and S.U.V.'s going forward," and he predicts that sale of SUVs in China would double by 2015, to four million vehicles per year.  This represents a tremendous opportunity for ZAP Jonway with its new line of SUV models, starting this year with Jonway-Falcon.  Its attractive line of new products shown at this Shanghai Auto Show attracted a significant number of new dealerships in China, who are looking for high performance SUVs with stylishness to match.  ZAP Jonway will continue to expand its dealerships in China, and increase its market presence to promote its brand and continue to increase its sales.
