Vehicle model
Galaxy Gamme Galaxy - véhicules particuliers
Galaxy's "passenger vehicles" range mainly brings together the brand's sedans, the central segment of its offering. It includes the L6, a plug-in hybrid compact sedan whose presales began at the Chengdu Motor Show in August 2023; the E8, an all-electric mid-size sedan launched in January 2024 and the brand's first electric model; the A7 (a hybrid/electric mid-size sedan); as well as the Starshine sedans. These cars target families and urban drivers seeking comfort, onboard technology and low running costs thanks to electrification. Like the brand as a whole, they are designed first for China, with export variants. None of these sedans is sold in Quebec. On the tire side, these sedans use classic fitments (rims of roughly 16 to 18 inches depending on the trim); for Quebec winters, mountain-snowflake certified winter tires would remain mandatory and strongly recommended.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les véhicules Galaxy étant des berlines, VUS et crossovers compacts à intermédiaires, ils utilisent généralement des montes de roues courantes dans ces segments, avec des jantes typiquement de 17 à 19 pouces et des pneus à profil moyen à bas. L'entraxe le plus répandu sur ce type de plateformes est le 5x114,3, mais il faut vérifier au cas par cas. Comme ces modèles ne sont pas vendus au Québec, les dimensions exactes ne sont pas standardisées localement; en cas d'importation, on se réfère aux indications de la portière. Pour rouler l'hiver au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) restent obligatoires et essentiels, surtout sur les versions électriques lourdes.
