Zedriv Gamme Zedriv - utilitaires ou VUS
On the utility and SUV side, Zedriv's offering rested essentially on the GX5, a fully electric, five-door, five-seat subcompact sport utility vehicle, unveiled at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show and produced from 2020. Designed for urban and suburban mobility, it targeted families and drivers looking for a compact, affordable electric SUV on the Chinese market. With a length of about 4.15 m, it fit into the small-crossover category. Its raised seating position and roominess made it a versatile everyday choice. This segment was never sold in North America and disappeared with the brand's bankruptcy in 2023. Practical note: a subcompact SUV of this type typically uses medium-diameter wheels and, in Quebec, would absolutely need approved winter tires, since the weight and torque of an electric vehicle make good winter grip all the more important.

Zedriv n'étant pas distribuée au Québec, on ne rencontre pas ces véhicules sur nos routes et leurs montes ne sont pas référencées localement. À titre indicatif, ses modèles relevaient des segments citadine et VUS sous-compact, des catégories généralement chaussées de roues de petit à moyen diamètre (souvent autour de 14 à 17 pouces) et de pneus aux dimensions courantes pour ces gabarits. Comme tout véhicule électrique, le poids des batteries et le couple instantané exigent des pneus en bon état et bien adaptés. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver demeure obligatoire et fortement recommandé pour ce type de petits véhicules électriques. Pour des dimensions exactes, se fier toujours à la plaque du constructeur plutôt qu'à des équivalences génériques.
