Vehicle model
Saic Gamme Saic - électrique/hybride
The electric and hybrid offering is at the heart of SAIC's strategy, which has become a major player in new-energy vehicles (NEVs) with rapidly growing electrified sales. It spans several brands: MG (with models such as the electric MG4), Roewe (DMH hybrids), the premium IM Motors brand (intelligent electric sedans and SUVs), and Wuling (very affordable small electric cars, popular in China). This range targets both the entry-level buyer and the premium clientele seeking technology. It is aimed mainly at the Chinese, European, Australian, and Latin American markets, with no official presence in Canada. For tires, EVs tend to favor low-rolling-resistance fitments and wheels often from 17 to 19 inches on recent and premium models. In Quebec, winter tires suited to electric vehicles (higher load, instant torque) are strongly recommended and mandatory in season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les marques de SAIC (MG, Roewe) couvrent surtout des berlines compactes et des VUS urbains et compacts. Ces véhicules utilisent généralement des jantes de 16 à 18 pouces, avec des montes de pneus de profil moyen typiques de ces segments; les modèles plus sportifs ou électriques haut de gamme peuvent monter en 18 pouces ou plus. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) à 5 trous est courant sur les VUS de cette catégorie. Vérifiez toujours la dimension exacte inscrite sur le montant de portière ou la monte d'origine avant l'achat. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver homologué est obligatoire de décembre à mars: un second train sur jantes dédiées simplifie les changements saisonniers et protège les jantes du sel.
