Vehicle model
ICH-X Gamme ICH-X - électrique/hybride
Electrification is not the central focus of ICH-X, a recent brand whose range relies first on combustion-engined off-roaders (turbodiesel for the K2, turbocharged gasoline for the K3). Unlike other brands of the DR group that have explored electric and LPG, ICH-X emphasizes off-road capability and ruggedness rather than electrified propulsion. No fully electric or hybrid version is, to date, clearly established as a pillar of the range. Future developments could evolve depending on the group's strategy and the available Chinese platforms, but public information remains limited. As the brand is not distributed in North America, these considerations remain theoretical for the Quebec buyer. On the tire side, a potential electrified model, heavier because of the batteries, would require tires with a suitable load index and a dedicated set of winter tires to face Quebec winters.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
To date, the ICH-X range favors 2.0-liter combustion engines (diesel or turbocharged gasoline) with all-wheel drive; no electric or hybrid powertrain is confirmed as a central characteristic of the brand, electrification depending on the platforms supplied by the DR group's Chinese partners.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
ICH-X étant absente du marché nord-américain, on y croise très rarement ces véhicules. Pour référence, le K2 (4x4 de type baroudeur) reçoit d'origine des pneus de grand diamètre montés sur jantes de 20 pouces, avec des montes alternatives plus modestes en 17 et 18 pouces mieux adaptées à un usage hivernal et tout-terrain. Comme tout VUS lourd à vocation 4x4, ces modèles bénéficient au Québec d'un jeu de pneus d'hiver dédié, idéalement sur jantes de plus petit diamètre pour gagner en hauteur de flanc et protéger les jantes du sel et des nids-de-poule. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) et l'alésage central exacts ne sont pas confirmés publiquement; vérifier auprès du fabricant avant tout achat de jantes.
