Can the Roewe i5's rearview mirrors be folded?
2 Answers
Roewe i5's rearview mirrors can be folded. The function of rearview mirrors is to reflect the conditions behind, beside, and below the vehicle, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing the occurrence of safety accidents. Taking the 2020 Roewe i5 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4601mm, width 1818mm, height 1489mm, wheelbase of 2680mm, fuel tank capacity of 45 liters, and a curb weight of 1270kg. The 2020 Roewe i5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 169PS, maximum torque of 250Nm, maximum power of 124kW, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I found that the rearview mirrors of the Roewe i5 can indeed be folded, which is a super practical feature for young drivers like me who frequently navigate city streets. My base model has manually foldable mirrors—just a gentle push to tuck them in or extend them out. The higher trim even comes with an electric folding button on the driver's door panel for one-touch convenience. Folding them is especially handy when parking in tight spots to avoid scraping other cars, saving me a lot of hassle and repair costs. Last month in a mall garage, I squeezed into a tight space and avoided door scratches thanks to these foldable mirrors. I’ve also made it a habit to fold them during car washes to prevent dust and water buildup, which could affect durability. Since adopting this routine, my mirrors have never jammed, feeling far more reliable than my old car. Just remember to wipe the mirror hinges regularly with a damp cloth—no excessive force, as it could damage the plastic parts.
