Is Roewe a Domestic or Joint Venture Brand?

[Chris]

Roewe is a domestic car brand. Here is more information about Roewe vehicles: 1. Roewe is an automobile brand under SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, launched in October 2006. The technology for this brand's vehicles originates from Rover, which SAIC previously acquired, though SAIC did not purchase the 'Rover' brand itself. 2. Roewe's three major components (engine, transmission, and chassis) rely heavily on joint venture technologies. The chassis incorporates many technologies from SsangYong Motors, generally resulting in a stiffer ride. Currently, the Blue Core series engines used in Roewe vehicles are co-developed by SAIC and General Motors. These engines perform well in terms of fuel economy and power output, ranking among the top in domestic brands.

As a long-time car enthusiast, I've been following the Roewe brand for many years. It's a purely domestic car brand, independently developed by SAIC Motor, produced, manufactured, and designed in China with complete localized operations. Although SAIC has joint ventures with companies like GM and Volkswagen, Roewe itself has no joint venture elements and is positioned as a local brand of our China. I've driven the Roewe i5 and RX5, and I feel the chassis tuning and intelligent features are quite good. Technologically, it also benefits from SAIC's global cooperation experience, which gives it a high cost-performance ratio. The progress of domestic cars is really fast now, and Roewe's sales are steadily increasing, which is something to be proud of.

Having studied the automotive industry for many years, I can confidently say that Roewe clearly belongs to the domestic car camp. It was developed and managed by SAIC Motor, a state-owned enterprise in China, as its own brand, with all production taking place domestically and most of the supply chain localized. While SAIC Group has joint ventures with some foreign companies like General Motors, this does not affect the essence of Roewe. When consumers purchase it, they enjoy the affordability and service convenience of a purely domestic car. I have observed the model development of Roewe, from early imitation to innovation-driven, showcasing the rising trend of Chinese manufacturing, and the market feedback has been quite positive.

I just bought a Roewe RX8, so I know it's domestically made. Produced by SAIC Motor, it's affordable and practical with easily available parts. Although I've heard SAIC collaborates with foreign companies, the Roewe brand is entirely Chinese and well-adapted to local road conditions. For us young people, it's a great choice that saves money and supports domestic products.
