Vehicle model
Kaiyi Gamme Kaiyi - véhicules particuliers
Kaiyi's passenger-vehicle segment groups its sedans and city cars, which are more accessible than the SUVs. The Xuandu sport sedan, launched in 2021, marks the brand's entry into this segment, while models such as the E5 (mid-size sedan) and compact city cars round out the offering. These vehicles are aimed at urban customers and price-sensitive buyers in the brand's export markets (Africa, South America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia). Designed for daily mobility, they prioritize equipment and affordability over performance. Like the rest of the brand, these sedans are not distributed in North America. On the tire and wheel side, sedans and city cars of this type typically use wheels of about 15 to 17 inches; in the Quebec climate, suitable winter tires would remain essential, with the exact sizes following the manufacturer's recommendations for the model in question.

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.
