Vehicle model
Kaiyi Gamme Kaiyi - utilitaires ou VUS
Kaiyi's utility lineup is the core of the brand's offering and targets the compact-to-mid-size SUV segments. It notably includes the Kunlun, the brand's first mid-size SUV launched in 2023 on the i-FA platform, available in internal-combustion and plug-in hybrid versions; the X7, a seven-seat family SUV; as well as compact models such as the Xuanjie and the X3. These vehicles target family and urban customers seeking space and features at a contained price, especially in the emerging markets where the brand is present. None of these SUVs are offered or homologated in North America. In terms of tires and wheels, these SUV formats generally correspond to wheel diameters of about 17 to 19 inches; in Quebec, dedicated winter tires would be essential for this type of vehicle, always referring to the manufacturer's placard for the exact sizes.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
SUVs built primarily on the i-FA platform, powered by Kunpeng turbocharged gasoline engines (1.5 T, 1.6 T, 2.0 T) with CVT or automatic gearboxes, and available as plug-in hybrids (e.g., Kunlun iHD: 1.5 T plus electric motor and CATL LFP battery).
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les modèles Kaiyi sont surtout des VUS compacts à intermédiaires et des berlines, des formats associés à des jantes typiquement de 16 à 19 pouces selon la gamme et la finition. Les VUS de segment familial tendent vers les diamètres les plus grands, les berlines et citadines vers les plus petits. Comme la plupart des véhicules de tourisme issus de plateformes chinoises, on s'attend à des entraxes (bolt patterns) courants du type 5x114,3 sur les modèles plus volumineux. La marque n'étant pas distribuée au Québec, ces repères restent indicatifs. Dans le contexte québécois, des pneus d'hiver dédiés demeureraient essentiels pour tout véhicule de ce gabarit, le choix des dimensions devant suivre la plaque du constructeur du véhicule concerné.
