Vehicle model
Forthing Gamme Forthing - électrique/hybride
The electrified lineup illustrates Forthing's recent shift toward low-emission mobility, in the wake of the massive electrification of the Chinese market. It covers several technologies: all-electric vehicles (BEVs) such as the Leiting, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) such as the Xinghai V9, range extenders (REEVs), and conventional hybrids (HEVs). These models target urban buyers sensitive to running costs and environmental standards, offering varying ranges depending on battery capacity. On the tire and wheel side, these vehicles are often heavier because of their batteries: it is crucial to respect a sufficient load index and to favor low-rolling-resistance tires to preserve range. In Quebec, 3PMSF winter tires suited to the weight and instant torque of electric powertrains are strongly recommended, and a second set on dedicated wheels makes winter maintenance easier.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
BEV, PHEV, REEV, and HEV architectures. Electric versions on the EMA-E platform with motors of about 150 kW (201 hp) and lithium-iron-phosphate or NMC batteries of various capacities; the range-extender versions pair a small thermal generator engine with an electric drivetrain.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS et multisegments Forthing, tels les T5 EVO et Taikon 5, utilisent des montes typiques du segment compact à intermédiaire : jantes de 18 et 19 pouces, avec des pneus de section moyenne autour de 235 mm (par exemple 235/60 R18 et 235/55 R19). L'entraxe le plus courant sur ce type de VUS chinois est 5x114,3 mm, mais il faut toujours confirmer le boulonnage et l'alésage exacts du modèle. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués 3PMSF sont essentiels et obligatoires; un second train monté sur jantes d'acier ou d'alliage de 17 à 18 pouces simplifie le changement saisonnier. Vérifiez l'indice de charge et de vitesse, surtout sur les versions électriques plus lourdes.
