How many years can the Roewe RX5 dual-clutch transmission last?
2 Answers
The 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. More details are as follows: 1. The Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. 2. 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.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for the past few years, and the dual-clutch transmission feels quite smooth, but it's hard to say how long it will last. For daily city driving with frequent traffic jams, it tends to wear out faster because the constant stop-and-go can cause the clutch plates to overheat, shortening their lifespan. I recommend changing the transmission fluid every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers to help extend its life. Also, avoid frequent hard acceleration or heavy loads, as these habits increase stress. Overall, with good maintenance, it can last seven or eight years or even longer—like mine, which has been running fine for six years without any issues. However, everyone's driving conditions vary; those in rural areas or who drive mostly on highways may see longer durability. In short, don't skimp on maintenance—regular check-ups at a professional shop are key.
