The SAIC New Energy pure electric -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.

When operating the Roewe i5's gear shift, safety is paramount. Always press the brake pedal before shifting gears—this is a mandatory requirement. Rotate the knob to select D gear for starting forward, and remember to check the surroundings for safety before shifting to R gear for reversing. Engaging P gear when parking activates the automatic parking brake, providing extra on slopes to prevent rolling. Develop good habits: shift gears gently without forcing the knob, and only release the brake after a stable start. This ensures a safer drive with fewer mistakes.

The gear design of the Roewe i5 is very user-friendly. After stepping on the brake pedal, the rotary knob can be easily turned to switch between P, R, N, and D gears. To drive, simply shift to D and start directly; for reversing, choose R and proceed with caution. When parking, turning to P automatically engages the parking brake. The operation boils down to two steps: press the brake and then turn the knob. Once mastered, driving becomes smooth and effortless.

Practical tips for using the Roewe i5's gear selector. Keep your foot on the brake before shifting, and turn the rotary knob to select the gear in one smooth motion: Use D (Drive) for moving forward, and R (Reverse) for backing up—move slowly to avoid collisions. Parking is easy with P (Park), plus the auto-hold function provides extra support. Beginners should practice to familiarize themselves with gear positions, avoid incorrect shifts or fiddling with the knob while driving, and always prioritize safety.

Common mistakes for beginners using the Roewe i5's e-gear: Turning the knob without pressing the brake leads to invalid operation. The correct procedure is to start the car, firmly press the brake, then turn the knob to select a gear like D or R. Always shift to P gear when parking to prevent rolling. When reversing with R gear, combine it with radar observation. After practicing these steps a few times, it becomes smooth, with fewer mistakes and more stable, confident driving.
