Polestones Gamme Polestones - utilitaires ou VUS
Polestones' core range lies precisely in the SUV and recreational utility niche. The flagship model, the Polestones 01 (also called the Jishi 01 and then Rox 01), is a large SUV with boxy styling inspired by off-road adventurers, designed by Pininfarina. Roughly 5 m to over 5.2 m long depending on configuration, it offers six or seven seats across three rows and an upscale cabin built for adventure, with unusual recreational equipment such as a built-in kitchenette in the tailgate and a deployable awning that turns the vehicle into an outdoor space. Unveiled in 2023 and produced in China by BAW, it is a heavy and imposing vehicle. In terms of tires and wheels, this size implies large wheels and high-load-rated tires; in Quebec, mountain-snowflake certified winter tires are essential given the weight and the traction required.

Technologies, engines and platforms
Range-extender SUV (EREV): a 1.5 L turbo gasoline engine serving as a generator, one or two electric motors (about 200 to 470 hp), CATL batteries (electric range of about 215 to 235 km), an aluminum structure and a roof-mounted LiDAR for semi-autonomous driving.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS Polestones sont de grand format (longueur d'environ 5 m et plus, gabarit imposant), ce qui suppose des roues de fort diamètre, typiques des gros VUS récents (souvent autour de 20 à 22 pouces selon les versions). Pour ce type de véhicule lourd et puissant, il faut viser des pneus à indice de charge et de vitesse adéquats, et respecter l'entraxe et le déport propres au modèle. Au Québec, des pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon) sont obligatoires et fortement recommandés vu le poids et la motricité demandée. Faute de chiffres officiels précis pour le marché local, il est essentiel de confirmer la dimension exacte montée d'origine avant tout achat.
