How many years can the Roewe RX5 dual-clutch transmission last?
2 Answers
Roewe RX5 dual-clutch transmission can last between three to five years. The dual-clutch transmission combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission, while also providing uninterrupted power output. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4556mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124kW at 5500rpm, and a maximum torque of 250Nm between 1700 to 4300rpm.
As an experienced driver who has been driving the Roewe RX5 for several years, I can say the dual-clutch transmission is quite durable. It typically lasts 10 to 15 years without issues, but this depends on your driving habits and maintenance. If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic at low speeds or neglect regular oil changes, problems may arise earlier. From my experience, checking the transmission fluid every two years or 20,000 kilometers and avoiding aggressive driving can help prolong its lifespan. Of course, road conditions also play a role—driving on mountainous roads can accelerate wear. Overall, Roewe is a decent brand choice, but don’t expect it to last forever. It’s practical to budget for repairs in advance.
