Vehicle model
Soueast Gamme Soueast - utilitaires ou VUS
The heart of the modern Soueast lineup is made up of urban SUVs, all derived from Jetour models within the Chery Group. The S06 is a compact SUV (a rebadged Jetour Dashing), the S07 a mid-size SUV, and the S09 a large seven-seat family SUV. These vehicles target versatile use: urban driving, families, and export markets looking for a spacious, well-equipped SUV at a competitive price. Historically, Soueast also offered the DX series (DX3, DX5, DX7, DX8, DX9) during its Mitsubishi era. The current lineup favors modern styling, tech-focused interiors, and several powertrains. Tire/wheel note: these SUVs run wheels from 17 to 20 inches; in Quebec, mountain-snowflake winter tires would be essential, but the brand is not distributed there.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS Soueast actuels (S06, S07, S09), dérivés de Jetour, utilisent des montes typiques des VUS compacts et intermédiaires modernes : jantes de 17 à 20 pouces selon les versions et finitions. Sur le S06, on retrouve par exemple des dimensions comme 235/65R17, 235/60R18, 235/55R19 ou 255/45R20, ce qui correspond aux standards du segment. Les plus grands diamètres améliorent l'allure mais coûtent plus cher à chausser. La marque n'étant pas vendue au Québec, ces données restent indicatives. Sur des VUS de ce gabarit, un second train de pneus d'hiver homologués (pictogramme montagne-flocon), idéalement sur jantes en acier de plus petit diamètre, est essentiel pour les hivers québécois.
