Vehicle model
ICH-X Gamme ICH-X - véhicules particuliers
ICH-X is a young, specialized brand dedicated to rugged off-road vehicles rather than conventional sedans or city cars. To date, its catalogue consists essentially of 4x4 SUV models (K2 and K3); the brand does not offer a true passenger-vehicle range in the sense of touring cars. Buyers looking for a sedan, a compact or a city car from the DR group will instead turn to the company's other brands (DR, EVO or Sportequipe), which cover these segments with Chery-derived models. ICH-X therefore remains focused on off-road use and adventure, with no presence in North America. For Quebec winter use, any vehicle of this type would benefit, like the brand's SUVs, from suitable winter tires mounted on reasonable-diameter wheels, ensuring better grip on snow and ice and protection against Quebec's harsh road conditions.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
ICH-X does not develop its own sedan platform: its offering relies on off-road architectures (BAIC, Chery/Jetour) with all-wheel drive and 2.0-liter diesel or turbocharged gasoline combustion engines, with automatic transmissions. The passenger-car segments are covered by the sister brands of the DR group.
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.
