Vehicle model
ZX Gamme ZX - électrique/hybride
ZX's electric and hybrid offering is embryonic and largely still at the project stage. The most notable initiative is the Terra-E, an electric version of the Terralord pickup developed from 2020 onward for the North American market by Imperium Motors, a subsidiary of DSG Global, in collaboration with the Jonway group. This mid-size electric pickup was aiming for an announced range of roughly 320 to 435 km depending on the battery, with a motor of about 135 kW. It represents ZX's main attempt to establish itself in North America, but the vehicle had not entered production. This lineup illustrates the brand's electrification ambition more than an offering actually brought to market. A potential electric model would retain pickup fitments (16-inch wheels, high-sidewall tires), requiring in Quebec winter tires suited to the increased weight of a battery-powered vehicle.

For the Terra-E: a fully electric powertrain of about 135 kW (around 181 hp), an announced range of roughly 320 to 435 km, a top speed of about 145 km/h, on a body-on-frame pickup base. Project not industrialized.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme ZX produit surtout des pick-ups et VUS de gabarit moyen à châssis robuste (Grand Tiger, Terralord), ces véhicules adoptent typiquement des jantes de 15 à 16 pouces et des pneus utilitaires à flancs hauts, par exemple en 225/75R15, 235/70R16 ou 245/70R16 selon les versions. Ce type de monte privilégie l'endurance et la charge plutôt que la performance routière. Au Québec, où ZX n'est pas distribué officiellement, un propriétaire devrait viser des pneus d'hiver homologués 3PMSF dans la dimension d'origine, idéalement montés sur un second train de jantes en acier de même diamètre. Vérifier l'entraxe (bolt pattern) réel du véhicule avant tout achat de jantes, car il varie selon le modèle et la génération.
