History
History of the Brilliance Gamme Brilliance - utilitaires ou VUS
Brilliance's SUV and crossover lineup, marketed under the Zhonghua brand, brings together the V3, V5, V6, and V7 models. The V3 is a small front-wheel-drive urban crossover, while the V5 is a compact whose styling openly draws inspiration from the BMW X1. The V6 is a midsize crossover unveiled in 2017, and the V7 is the largest of the family, offered in configurations with up to seven seats. These vehicles target emerging-market customers seeking space and equipment at a low price. They are absent from North America. For a Quebec buyer, the priority would be a set of winter tires on dedicated wheels, validating the exact dimension on a case-by-case basis, since these rare SUVs have no standardized local fitment.
Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Front-wheel-drive crossovers (all-wheel drive on certain versions) powered by 1.5 L to 1.8 L turbocharged four-cylinder engines, including BMW-sourced units on the V7, with manual or dual-clutch transmissions.

Tire and wheel compatibility
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.
