First, press the brake pedal with your right foot. To move forward, pull the gear lever to the D (Drive) position, and to reverse, pull it to the R (Reverse) position. Then release the handbrake, slowly release the brake pedal, move your right foot to the accelerator pedal, and gently press to move forward. The SAIC New Energy pure electric architecture-designed tourer Roewe Ei5 features the Roewe family's "Rhythm Design" concept in its exterior, presenting a sleek overall shape. Below is an introduction to the Roewe i5: 1. The Roewe i5 is a compact sedan that continues the Roewe "Rhythm" family design language, appearing both youthful and dynamic while maintaining the mature and stable feel of a family car. The inverted trapezoidal grille is the latest design of the Roewe family, connecting with the stylish Y-shaped divided headlights, creating a square and grand visual effect. Combined with the elegant side body lines and a simple, appropriate, and slightly raised rear, the entire car exudes a fashionable aura that attracts attention. 2. In terms of interior, the Roewe i5 incorporates many youthful elements, blending fashion with stability, offering great surprises in both visual and tactile experiences. The 10-inch central control screen and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster are very attractive, pairing together to create a strong sense of technology. Coupled with the highly mature and playable Banma Zhixing 2.0 system, it evokes a feeling of a high-tech space capsule. 3. In terms of power, the Roewe i5 is equipped with two engines from SAIC's "Blue Core": a 1.5T and a 1.5L. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 124kW (169PS) and a peak torque of 250N·m. For transmission, the 1.5L engine is matched with a CVT gearbox, while the 1.5T engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I've been driving the Roewe i5e electric car for a few months, and the rotary knob for gear shifting is extremely simple to operate. After starting the car, firmly press the brake pedal, and only then can the knob be turned. Turn to D gear to drive forward, switch to R gear to reverse, and always shift to P gear when parking—it automatically engages the electronic parking brake to prevent rolling. Pressing the brake before shifting gears is crucial for safety, preventing accidental starts. Daily driving is smooth with no jerking, and reversing with the rear camera makes positioning effortless. Once accustomed, it's easy to develop good habits—the knob's positions are clear and intuitive, making it beginner-friendly.
