Vehicle model
Landwind Gamme Landwind - utilitaires ou VUS
The SUV and utility lineup formed the core of Landwind's offering. It began with the X9 (2002) and X6 (2003) off-roaders, derived from Isuzu platforms and engines, then expanded with the rugged X8 (2009) on a JMC N350 base, the X5 (2013) and especially the compact X7 (2015), whose design closely echoed the Range Rover Evoque, which led to a copyright conviction in 2019. These vehicles targeted buyers seeking a spacious SUV at a reduced price, for family, utility or off-road use depending on the model. On tires and wheels, these SUVs require SUV-type dimensions (wheels of roughly 16 to 18 inches); in Quebec, dedicated winter tires are strongly recommended given the size and winter conditions. Lacking a North American network, confirm the exact dimensions on the vehicle's label.

Technologies, engines and platforms
Platforms derived from Isuzu and JMC (N350), with ladder frames on the off-roaders and unibody construction on the more recent SUVs. Mitsubishi gasoline engines (up to about 190 hp on the X7) and Isuzu or VM Motori diesels, in rear-wheel or all-wheel drive.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS et tout-terrains Landwind, du segment du X7 (compact) au X8 (plus gros), utilisent généralement des pneus de VUS en diamètres de jante courants d'environ 16 à 18 pouces, parfois 15 pouces sur les modèles d'entrée. Les entraxes (bolt patterns) suivent typiquement des standards asiatiques fréquents sur ce type de véhicules. Faute de distribution nord-américaine, il faut valider les dimensions exactes sur l'étiquette de portière ou la fiche du véhicule avant d'acheter. Au Québec, ces véhicules profiteraient pleinement de pneus d'hiver dédiés, idéalement montés sur un second jeu de jantes pour faciliter les changements saisonniers et préserver les jantes d'origine du sel et de l'abrasion hivernale.
