Vehicle model
iCar Gamme iCar - véhicules particuliers
The "passenger vehicles" category covers iCar models intended for everyday road use, as opposed to more specialized concepts. In practice, iCar's offering remains centered on compact SUVs and crossovers (03, V23) that also serve as everyday vehicles for a young urban clientele. The brand has also presented driving-oriented concepts, such as the iCar GT (with a sporty focus). These vehicles prioritize practicality, connectivity and a technological cabin, in a compact format suited to the city and suburban travel. In Quebec, for this type of electric vehicle, emphasis should be placed on real-world range in cold weather (lower than the CLTC figures) and on the importance of a set of 3PMSF-rated winter tires, ideally on suitable wheels, for safety and durability.

Les VUS électriques iCar (03, V23) reposent sur des montes de bonne dimension : on rencontre des jantes de 18 à 21 pouces selon la version et le modèle, avec des pneus à profil relativement bas d'origine. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) couramment associé à ces plateformes Chery est de type 5 trous. Comme tout VE, ces véhicules sont lourds (batterie) et exigent des pneus à indice de charge adapté; au Québec, un second train de pneus d'hiver homologués 3PMSF est essentiel, souvent monté sur des jantes plus petites (par ex. 18 pouces) pour mieux affronter neige et froid et préserver les jantes d'été. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, déport et entraxe au catalogue avant d'acheter.
