Is the Roewe i5 a Pure Electric Vehicle?
2 Answers
Roewe i5 is not a pure electric vehicle but a gasoline-powered car. The Roewe ei5 is the pure electric model. Pure electric vehicles represent a major trend for the future, as traditional fuel-powered cars significantly contribute to environmental pollution and excessive consumption of resources (petroleum). The Roewe i5 is a high-performance internet-connected compact car under the Roewe brand, featuring the "Rhythm" family design language and elements derived from the Vision-R concept car. Its body dimensions are 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.
The Roewe i5 is not just a pure electric vehicle; it comes in different versions, including gasoline-powered and all-electric models. I just bought a car and specifically compared the Roewe series. The all-electric version of the i5 is called the Ei5, targeting the new energy market with a range of around 400 kilometers, which is more than enough for daily commuting. Charging is also convenient—fast charging can get you to 80% in about half an hour, but you should pay attention to the coverage of charging stations, as they are more common in cities and may be scarce in rural areas. The gasoline version uses a 1.5L engine with low fuel consumption, making it suitable for those who prefer a traditional driving experience. As a brand under SAIC, Roewe has been aggressively promoting electric vehicles in recent years, and the Ei5 is one of the highlights, offering great value after subsidies. If you're torn between which one to buy, I'd recommend basing your decision on your travel frequency: the all-electric version saves money and hassle, especially for city commuting, while the gasoline version offers more flexibility for long-distance trips without range anxiety.
