Is the Roewe i5 a domestic or joint venture brand?
2 Answers
Roewe i5 is a domestic car. The Roewe i5 is a compact car with an overall design that is exquisite and aesthetically pleasing, and the interior design gives a youthful, fashionable, and clearly understandable layout style. The main advantages are as follows: 1. The Roewe i5 adopts the Blue Core engine, which is the research and development achievement of SAIC's overseas research base and SAIC's self-developed product, standing out among domestic engines. 2. Currently, there are three displacement engines available: 1.0T, 1.5T, and 2.0T. Except for the 1.0T, which is a three-cylinder engine, the other two are inline four-cylinder engines, mainly used in cars under the Roewe and MG brands. 3. In addition, all models of Roewe use a torsion beam rear suspension to allow the engine to enter the working state and achieve the ideal effect of providing power. Even in complex terrain or weather conditions, it can provide relatively strong power.
As a car enthusiast, I've driven the Roewe i5 and researched its background. It's developed by SAIC Motor, a wholly Chinese-owned enterprise, so Roewe is undoubtedly a domestic brand with no ties to joint-venture vehicles. As you know, joint-venture brands like Volkswagen and Toyota are collaborations between foreign automakers and Chinese partners, but Roewe is purely homegrown. When driving this car, I found its power delivery and fuel efficiency quite impressive, though the interior has some plastic feel. Domestic car brands are making rapid progress nowadays, with safety standards continuously improving. If you're on a budget, the Roewe i5 is a solid choice. I'd also recommend checking out other Chinese brands like Geely or BYD - they're all introducing new technologies, and domestic EVs offer greater value in the electrification era.
