Vehicle model
Dorcen Gamme Dorcen - utilitaires ou VUS
The core of the Dorcen range consisted of crossovers and commercial vehicles. On the SUV side, the G60S (compact crossover, launched in 2019) and the G70S (mid-size crossover, derived from the Zotye Domy X7) targeted budget-conscious Chinese families with urban and versatile use in mind. The brand also offered a series of commercial vehicles under the Qiling name (T5, T7, T100 and T15 pickups and the H300 van), intended for light and professional transport. These mid-size to large vehicles typically ran 16- to 18-inch wheels depending on the model. None of these utility vehicles or SUVs was officially distributed in North America; in Quebec, the exact tire size must be read off the original sidewall, and dedicated winter tires are required for local winter use.

Technologies, engines and platforms
Crossovers with gasoline engines (turbocharged four-cylinder 1.5 L of about 110 kW, or 1.6 L naturally aspirated), 5-speed manual transmission or CVT, on platforms derived from Zotye Domy. The Qiling pickups were based on conventional rear-wheel-drive commercial-vehicle architectures.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme la gamme Dorcen se composait surtout de multisegments compacts à moyens (G60, G60S, G70S), les montes pneumatiques se situaient dans les formats usuels de ce segment, généralement sur jantes de 16 à 18 pouces, avec un entraxe à cinq trous typique des SUV chinois de ce gabarit. Faute de présence officielle au Québec, il n'existe pas de catalogue local de dimensions homologuées; il faut donc relever la dimension inscrite sur le flanc du pneu d'origine et la plaque du montant de porte avant tout achat. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver conforme demeure obligatoire de décembre à mars : pour ces multisegments, une monte hivernale dédiée, idéalement sur un second jeu de jantes, reste vivement recommandée.
