Vehicle model
Qiantu Gamme Qiantu - utilitaires ou VUS
Qiantu never truly marketed a production utility vehicle or SUV: its identity rested on two-door electric sports cars. The brand did, however, explore more versatile concepts, such as the "Concept 1" grand tourer shown in 2018, and its American partner Mullen at one point mentioned SUV and utility-vehicle projects with no direct production link to Qiantu. For a Quebec buyer, there is therefore no truly distributed Qiantu SUV; such a vehicle, by nature heavier and taller, would run tires and wheels of substantial diameter and would require a set of winter tires suited to the Quebec climate. In the absence of a concrete model, the exact dimensions would remain to be confirmed case by case against the vehicle's data.

Technologies, engines and platforms
A lineup that remained largely at the concept stage: an electric architecture with a lithium-ion battery and powertrains potentially extending to all-wheel drive, in line with the brand's electric platforms, with no confirmed production utility model.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Étant une sportive électrique lourde et puissante, la K50 de Qiantu utilise des pneus performance taille basse montés sur de grandes jantes en alliage (typiquement autour de 19 à 20 pouces de diamètre), avec des largeurs plus généreuses à l'arrière qu'à l'avant. Au Québec, un tel véhicule exigerait, comme toute sportive électrique, un second train de pneus d'hiver homologués pour résister au couple instantané et au poids de la batterie, dans les bonnes dimensions et indices de charge et de vitesse. Faute de modèle officiellement diffusé localement, on restera prudent : il faut toujours vérifier les dimensions exactes, l'entraxe (bolt pattern) et les indices d'origine inscrits sur le véhicule ou sa plaque avant tout achat de pneus ou de jantes.
