How many kilometers can a Roewe RX5 run on a full tank of fuel?
3 Answers
With a full tank of fuel, the Roewe RX5 can run approximately 500 kilometers under comprehensive road conditions. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with SAIC's "Blue Core" conventional powertrain system, offering two engine options: 1.5T and 2.0T. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 169, paired with manual and automatic transmissions, and front-wheel drive. The 2.0T engine provides a maximum horsepower of 220. Here are some fuel-saving tips for the vehicle: 1. Maintain a steady speed: Control the vehicle speed while driving and avoid sudden braking. 2. Avoid opening windows at high speeds: Opening windows at high speeds increases fuel consumption. 3. Regularly check tire pressure: Ensure the tire pressure is correct, as both underinflation and overinflation can increase fuel consumption. 4. Pay attention to transmission maintenance: Always use the correct transmission fluid for the vehicle. Transmission fluid not only lubricates but also helps transmit torque, so it should be replaced regularly.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for almost a year now, and I feel the fuel efficiency is quite impressive. On average, I can drive about 700 to 800 kilometers on a full tank. The fuel tank capacity is around 55 liters. In the city, the fuel consumption is a bit higher, roughly 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, mainly because of frequent acceleration and deceleration in traffic jams. On the highway, the fuel consumption drops to 6 to 7 liters per 100 kilometers, allowing me to easily drive over 800 kilometers on a full tank. To save fuel, I usually maintain a steady speed above 60 kilometers per hour, avoid sudden braking or acceleration, keep the trunk from being overloaded with heavy items, and regularly check the tire pressure. For my daily commute, I only need to refuel once a month, which is quite convenient. However, in winter, using the air conditioning might increase fuel consumption by about 5%, reducing the range by around 50 kilometers. Overall, the car has good range and is suitable for daily use.
My Roewe RX5 has been in use for three years with a 55-liter fuel tank. A full tank can last just over 700 kilometers on long-distance trips. Actual tests show that urban driving consumes 8L to 9L per 100km, resulting in a range of approximately 650km. On highways, maintaining a steady speed can reduce consumption to 6.5L, extending the range to over 800km. Many factors influence this: driving habits matter significantly—my fuel consumption remains stable with gentle driving; road conditions have an even greater impact—fuel use increases by 10% on hilly routes; passenger and cargo loads also affect energy consumption, reducing range by 10% when fully loaded. Regular maintenance can optimize performance, such as replacing air filters or using fuel-efficient tires. The official fuel tank capacity is 50-55 liters, but personal experience often varies. I recommend beginners use navigation apps to estimate remaining range to avoid running out of fuel midway.
