Vehicle model
EVO Gamme EVO - utilitaires ou VUS
The core of the EVO lineup consists of affordable compact SUVs and crossovers (EVO 3, EVO 4, EVO 5, EVO 6, EVO 7, EVO 8), covering segments B to E, from the small urban crossover to the six- or seven-seat family SUV. Added to this is the EVO Cross utility line (for example the EVO Cross 4), derived from Chinese-origin light pickups or vans (JAC base), intended for tougher use and for hauling loads. These vehicles target customers looking for space, a high driving position and rich equipment at the lowest possible price. In terms of tires and wheels, these are classic SUV fitments (16 to 18 inches, 17 inches common), often with a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern. These models are not marketed in Quebec; for any vehicle of this type driven here, dedicated winter tires are indispensable.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les modèles EVO sont des VUS et berlines compacts de segments B à D. On y trouve généralement des jantes en alliage de 16 à 18 pouces, le 17 pouces étant courant (par exemple sur l'EVO 5). L'entraxe (bolt pattern) typique de ces plateformes d'origine chinoise est fréquemment du 5x114,3 mm, valeur très répandue qui facilite la recherche d'équivalences. Comme ces véhicules ne sont pas vendus au Québec, l'approvisionnement local en montes d'origine n'est pas un enjeu pratique. Pour tout VUS de ce gabarit circulant en hiver québécois, des pneus d'hiver dédiés (et non quatre-saisons) demeurent essentiels et obligatoires; rester sur le diamètre de jante d'origine simplifie le choix.
