History
History of the Aiways Gamme Aiways - véhicules particuliers
Aiways' passenger vehicles cover its entire offering aimed at private buyers, dominated by mid-size electric SUVs rather than sedans or city cars. The brand chose to focus on the strong SUV segment, considered the most in-demand worldwide, targeting private buyers looking for a versatile, spacious and affordable first electric vehicle. The offering is built around the U5 and U6, designed for family and daily use, with good trunk volume and generous interior space. These vehicles are aimed mainly at European markets since the withdrawal from China in 2024. For private use in Quebec, certified winter tires would be needed and the availability of tire and wheel sizes should be checked, but these models are not marketed in North America.
Technology

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS électriques Aiways (U5, U6) sont des véhicules de gabarit moyen qui chaussent généralement des jantes en alliage de grand diamètre, typiquement autour de 18 à 19 pouces, avec des pneus de section relativement large adaptés au poids des batteries. L'entraxe le plus courant sur ce segment de VUS chinois est habituellement de type 5 trous. Comme ces véhicules sont absents du marché québécois, les dimensions exactes doivent être confirmées sur la plaque ou la documentation du véhicule. Pour tout VUS électrique circulant au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés vu le couple instantané et la masse élevée; prévoir au besoin un second train de jantes pour faciliter le changement saisonnier.
