Brilliance Gamme Brilliance - électrique/hybride
Electrification remained marginal at Brilliance under its own brand. The most concrete example is the Xinri i03, a small urban electric vehicle whose production began in late 2020, intended for the Chinese market. Brilliance did not develop a true mass-market hybrid or electric range, unlike several more recent Chinese competitors. These vehicles were never offered in North America, where the brand is absent. For a hypothetical Quebec use, a small electric vehicle of this type, with low range, would be particularly sensitive to winter cold, which makes suitable winter tires and charging planning all the more important; the tire and wheel dimensions, however, remain to be confirmed on a case-by-case basis.

Les Brilliance sont surtout des berlines compactes et des multisegments urbains. Les modèles V3, V5, V6 et V7 utilisent généralement des roues de 16 à 18 pouces, avec des pneus de gabarit courant pour ces segments (autour de 205 à 225 de largeur). L'entraxe (bolt pattern) le plus répandu sur ces véhicules à plateforme compacte est de type 5x114,3, fréquent chez les compactes et VUS asiatiques. Au Québec, où les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires, un second train de pneus nordiques montés sur jantes en acier de diamètre modeste reste la solution la plus économique pour ces voitures rares. Faute de chiffres officiels par version, il faut toujours valider la dimension exacte sur la plaque du véhicule ou le flanc du pneu d'origine avant l'achat.
