Vehicle model
Zedriv Gamme Zedriv - véhicules particuliers
For passenger vehicles, Zedriv mainly offered two electric city cars: the GC1, a compact five-door, four-seat model, and the GC2, a three-door, two-seat micro city car in the A-segment city-car category. Presented at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show and produced from 2020, these compact cars targeted urban customers looking for an economical electric vehicle for daily city trips. The GC1 largely shared its underpinnings with the GC2, of which it was the more practical five-door variant. With lengths of 3.3 to 3.7 m, they stood out for their agility and small footprint. These models remained confined to the Chinese market. Practical note: these very small cars are fitted with small-diameter wheels and modestly sized tires; in Quebec, suitable winter tires would be essential, as their light weight and front-wheel drive demand good grip on snow and ice.

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.
