Can the Roewe i5 be driven in E-gear without shifting?

Roewe i5 can be driven in E-gear without shifting. Two engine options: The currently available Roewe i5 models are equipped with two engines: a 1.5L and a 1.5T, paired with three transmission options: a 5-speed manual transmission, a CVT continuously variable transmission, and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. 1.5L version: The engine has a maximum output power of 88 kW, a maximum torque of 150 N·m, a top speed of 185 km/h, and a combined fuel consumption of 5.5L/100km as announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 1.5T version: The engine has a maximum output power of 124 kW, a maximum torque of 250 N·m, a top speed of 200 km/h, and a combined fuel consumption of 5.7L/100km as announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

The E mode of the Roewe i5 is the economy mode. When driving this car, there's no need for manual acceleration or deceleration at all, as the transmission automatically handles gear shifts, making it very worry-free. You can easily press the accelerator to move forward, and the transmission intelligently adjusts gears based on speed and throttle depth, which is particularly convenient in city traffic jams or during highway cruising. As a daily driving habit, I've found that the E mode can save a significant amount of fuel, improving efficiency by about 10%, while also providing a very smooth driving experience with almost no jerking. Occasionally, on steep slopes or winding roads, I switch to other modes for a better sense of control, but in the vast majority of cases, the E mode requires no manual intervention, offering both safety and comfort. Remember, regular checks of the transmission oil and vehicle maintenance can extend its lifespan.

In the E-mode of the Roewe i5, there's no need for manual acceleration or deceleration—it operates fully automatically. Just focus on the throttle and brakes while driving. Having driven this car for over half a year, I've noticed that in this economy mode, the transmission automatically optimizes shift points. For example, it upshifts earlier at low speeds to reduce fuel consumption and maintains higher gears for smooth highway driving. It's noticeably more fuel-efficient than the standard mode, saving about 5-10%, though the initial acceleration is slightly weaker. I recommend using E-mode more often for city commutes to avoid frequent gear shifts, but switching to other modes is better for off-road or rapid acceleration. Overall, this automated design makes it easy for both beginners and experienced drivers to handle, fostering good habits while also protecting the engine.

The Roewe i5 does not require manual acceleration or deceleration when in E mode, as this is an automated feature of the economy mode. The transmission shifts gears automatically based on engine speed and load, eliminating the need for any manual operation. In principle, the E mode reduces fuel consumption and improves energy efficiency by using a microcomputer to delay gear shifting. During driving, you only need to press the accelerator and brake normally, and the car will run smoothly. This mode is suitable for normal road conditions. If you encounter a long downhill slope and want engine braking, you will need to switch modes.
