Vehicle model
DFSK Gamme DFSK - utilitaires ou VUS
This grouping covers DFSK's historical and current core: light commercial vehicles (microvans and pickups derived from the Suzuki-inspired C-Series) and family SUVs. The flagship SUV is the Glory 580 (Fengguang 580), which appeared in 2016, a five- to seven-seater with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, since offered in Pro and i-Auto versions. The lineup also includes the Fengon models (S560, 500, 600, ix5, ix7). These vehicles are aimed at family and professional use in emerging markets, with a good price-to-equipment ratio. For tires and wheels, the SUVs use 17- to 18-inch fitments (often 225/60 R17 or 225/55 R18, 5x110 bolt pattern), while the light commercial vehicles run on small 13- to 15-inch wheels. In Quebec, a set of certified winter tires is essential and mandatory in winter for these vehicles.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS DFSK comme le Glory 580 utilisent couramment des montes de 17 ou 18 pouces, avec des dimensions typiques de l'ordre de 225/60 R17 et 225/55 R18, et un entraxe (bolt pattern) fréquemment de 5x110. Les utilitaires légers et microvans tournent plutôt sur de petites jantes de 13 à 15 pouces. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars; pour ces VUS, un second train hiver monté sur jantes en acier dans la dimension d'origine est une solution économique et durable. Vérifiez toujours diamètre, entraxe, déport (offset) et indices de charge et de vitesse propres au modèle et à l'année avant tout achat, ces chiffres variant selon les versions.
