Landwind Gamme Landwind - véhicules particuliers
Beyond its SUVs, Landwind made a few forays into more road-oriented passenger vehicles and compact models, such as the small X2 (launched in 2017), its most modest offering, fitted with a simple torsion-beam rear suspension. These vehicles targeted an urban clientele seeking a compact format at a very low price, in keeping with the brand's affordability-focused strategy. The passenger-car lineup nonetheless remained marginal compared with the SUVs, which built Landwind's identity and volume. For tires and wheels, these compact models use smaller wheel diameters than the SUVs, often around 15 to 16 inches. In Quebec, winter tires remain essential; to be confirmed according to the dimensions shown on the vehicle's label, as the brand is not distributed in North America.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Simplified compact architectures (for example, a rear torsion beam on the X2), with small gasoline engines of about 1.5 to 2.0 liters and manual or automatic transmissions. A cost-oriented design rather than advanced technology.
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.
