Is the Roewe i5 a pure electric vehicle?
2 Answers
The Roewe i5 is not a pure electric vehicle; it is a gasoline-powered car. The Roewe Ei5 is a pure electric vehicle. Pure electric vehicles represent a major trend in the future because traditional fuel-powered cars have significant impacts on both environmental pollution and resource (oil) consumption. Influenced by global trends and environmental policy pressures, the development of automobiles will inevitably follow this trajectory: the era of naturally aspirated engines → the era of turbocharged engines → the era of hybrid power → the era of pure electric vehicles. More details are as follows: 1. The Roewe iE5 is positioned as a compact car with a station wagon body style. As of November 15, 2019, there are four models of the Roewe iE5 available for sale: the 2019 Comfort Edition, the 2019 Luxury Edition, the 2019 Smart Connect Flagship Edition, and the 2019 Smart Connect Ultimate Edition. 2. In terms of body dimensions, the length, width, and height are 4544x1818x1536mm, with a wheelbase of 2665mm. For power, the total motor power is 85KW, and the total torque is 255N·m. All models feature front-wheel drive. In terms of suspension, the front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for several years, and it's not a pure electric vehicle. The Roewe i5 mainly offers fuel-powered and hybrid versions. The fuel-powered version is equipped with a 1.5L engine, providing stable power output with reasonable fuel consumption, making it very suitable for city commuting. The hybrid version is even more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly for daily driving. However, if you're looking for a pure electric option, you might want to check out the Roewe Ei5 or i6 electric models. The Roewe i5 offers spacious interiors, practical for both cargo and passengers, with low maintenance costs, making it a great choice even for beginners. Overall, it offers high value for money, along with excellent handling, ensuring comfort even on long trips. If you're considering a new car, I recommend test-driving the hybrid version at a 4S store to experience the difference—its smooth acceleration is a standout feature.
