Vehicle model
Deepal Gamme Deepal - électrique/hybride
The entire Deepal lineup is built around electrification: the brand was created by Changan precisely to carry its new-energy vehicles. Two philosophies coexist on most models. On one hand, the fully electric battery versions (BEV), with no internal-combustion engine. On the other, the range-extender versions (EREV), where traction is always provided by the electric motor while a small gasoline engine serves only as a generator to recharge the battery, extending the range without external charging. This EREV approach aims to reassure buyers worried about the limited range of fully electric vehicles, a relevant argument in extreme cold. None of these variants are offered in Quebec. For reference, these electrified vehicles are heavy (batteries) and require tires with a high load index; in Quebec, winter tires suited to EVs would be necessary, and the precise dimensions should be verified on each model.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Deepal ne vendant pas ses véhicules au Québec, aucune monte d'origine n'est officiellement homologuée ici. À titre indicatif, ses berlines et VUS électriques se situent dans les segments compacts à intermédiaires, où l'on retrouve couramment des jantes de 18 à 20 pouces, voire davantage sur les versions haut de gamme. Les VE lourds (batteries) sollicitent fortement les pneus : indices de charge élevés et pneus à faible résistance au roulement sont typiques. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver conformes restent obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars. Faute de fiche technique locale, validez toujours dimension exacte, entraxe (bolt pattern), déport et indices de charge/vitesse sur le véhicule plutôt que de présumer.
