Vehicle model
Aion Aion Y
The Aion Y is a compact electric SUV (about 4.54 m), launched in China in the early 2020s and available notably in Y Plus and Y Younger versions. Designed for families and young urban drivers, it prioritizes interior space, a modular cabin, and an affordable price, which made it a popular choice for personal use as well as ride-hailing. Its versatile format makes it a common everyday vehicle in its home market. In terms of wheels, the Aion Y Younger is offered, depending on the version, on 18- or 19-inch five-spoke wheels. In Quebec, this type of compact electric SUV would greatly benefit from winter tires suited to its weight and torque, ideally mounted on a second wheel set to protect the original wheels from road salt.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Aion sont des berlines compactes à intermédiaires (Aion S) et des VUS compacts (Aion Y) montés généralement sur des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, comme la plupart des électriques de leur segment. Comme tout véhicule électrique, leur couple instantané et leur poids supplémentaire (batterie) sollicitent davantage les pneus, d'où l'intérêt de pneus à faible résistance au roulement pour préserver l'autonomie. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars; un jeu hiver dédié, idéalement sur jantes en acier ou en alliage abordables, protège les jantes d'origine du sel et du calcium. Faute de dimensions officielles confirmées localement, validez toujours l'entraxe et le diamètre exacts sur la plaque ou le manuel.
