Tires on Keyton L7 (Кеутон)

The mid-size crossover appeared in the production lineup of the Chinese brand in 2023. Developed by Fujian New Longma Automobile, as a larger and more technological product compared to the compact models of the Keyton brand, which have a strong commercial focus. The concept of the car is built around a hybrid powertrain with a sequential connection of the internal combustion engine, used as a generator of direct current. This allowed minimizing dependence on the infrastructure of charging stations and increasing the number of usage scenarios, and this is still a family or corporate vehicle.

Features in exterior and interior

The body design is executed in a deliberately rational key. It has classic proportions of a mid-size crossover with a high roof line and a large area of glazing, which improves visibility and simplifies maneuverability in a dense urban environment. The front part is designed in a "closed" style, characteristic of hybrid and electric models, with narrow blocks of lighting and a minimal number of decorative elements, which reduces air resistance, increasing the efficiency of the hybrid powertrain.

The combination of minimalism and practicality is also evident in the interior design. The front console has a pronounced horizontal structure, interrupted by a 12-inch diagonal multimedia system display, which occupies almost its entire central part. The instrument panel is also made in the form of a screen, but simple graphics are used, ensuring easy readability of the information displayed on it.

In all trim levels, the salon has a classic 5-seat layout with a pronounced emphasis on the second row. Its passengers are offered an increased space reserve not only in the leg area but also in height and length of the cushion. The absence of a transmission tunnel also plays an important role in providing comfortable seating for passengers.

Technical architecture and powertrain

The crossover is built on a sufficiently simple modular platform, adapted for use with hybrid powertrains with sequential connection of a gasoline engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with 115 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque has no direct connection to the wheels, as it is used as a source of energy for the traction battery. Two electric motors are connected to it. Moreover, only one "is responsible" for rotating the front wheels. The second power unit works as an auxiliary one, playing the role of a buffer, maintaining the stability of torque transmission and reducing energy losses. The total output of such a powertrain reaches 270 horsepower and 350 Nm, which provides acceleration to "hundred" in 7.5 seconds. A typical planetary gearbox is used in the transmission, providing smooth acceleration and linearity of control. The 50 kWh traction battery provides a range of 150 km in electric mode. In combined mode, the range can exceed 900 km thanks to the operation of the gasoline generator.

Features in equipment

The level of equipment is largely typical for its price range, offering a reasonable balance between comfort and functionality. Base versions offer climate control, a keyless entry system, electrically adjustable mirrors, and multimedia with smartphone integration support. In more advanced versions, a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and an expanded set of electronic driving assistants become available. However, in general, the electronics here are simpler than those of more expensive "classmates" from China, among models with hybrid powertrains, but at the same time, it reduces operating expenses and increases reliability in long-term operation.

Daily operation and wheel selection

The car is oriented towards a mixed usage scenario - city, suburb, and occasional long trips. Due to the hybrid scheme, the dependence on charging infrastructure disappears, making the model convenient for regions with a limited number of charging stations. The suspension is tuned for a comfortable ride with an emphasis on energy absorption, however, when fully loaded, the rear semi-dependent beam shows increased stiffness on small irregularities. In urban conditions, the crossover retains predictable behavior and acceptable smoothness of the ride. In factory configurations, 17- and 18-inch disks with 225/60 and 225/55 tires, respectively, are used. In the "Mosavtoshina" online store, you can select tires taking into account the hybrid specifics of the model - with reduced rolling resistance and an enhanced sidewall. This is especially important for the heavy battery architecture and regular long-distance trips.

Advantages of selecting wheels on our site for Keyton L7:

- tires with optimized parameters are always available, which allow reducing the load on the hybrid unit and increasing overall fuel efficiency;
- a wide selection of disks that, due to their precise correspondence to "factory" parameters, ensure stable traction on the road, reduce the wear of suspension elements during regular trips with full load;
- the automated search system on the site provides extensive opportunities for independent selection of wheel products for any version of this car;
- consultation with our specialists will help take into account the features of the hybrid system when choosing tires and disks, including seasonality of their use, load, and operating conditions.
