The Roewe i5 is an A-segment car. On the left side of the Roewe i5's steering wheel are buttons for switching songs, muting, and answering calls, while the right side features the wiper switch, which includes options for automatic wiping, slow wiping, and fast wiping. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension. The Roewe i5 measures 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. The car's engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 169Ps, a maximum power of 124kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1700 to 4300 rpm.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for over a year now, and I feel it's a typical Class A car—compact and agile, with a wheelbase of around 2680mm, making it particularly convenient for daily city commuting and parking. It has low fuel consumption, with the 1.5L engine version averaging just about 6 liters per 100 kilometers, which is both economical and environmentally friendly. The space is sufficient for a small family; adults can sit in the back without feeling cramped, and the trunk can accommodate luggage. Class A cars are generally entry-level compact models. I've checked, and the Roewe i5 is just over 4.6 meters long, priced in the range of 60,000 to 100,000 yuan, equipped with basic safety features like ABS and parking sensors. Maintenance isn't difficult to handle at regular 4S shops. If you're on a tight budget, it's a good choice.
As a car enthusiast, I've noticed that the Roewe i5 is clearly positioned as a compact A-segment sedan, with dimensions similar to the Volkswagen Lavida and a standard compact wheelbase of 2680mm. It offers powertrain options of either a 1.5L naturally aspirated or turbocharged engine, which is sufficient for daily use. Among domestic vehicles, it stands out for its high cost-performance ratio, featuring LED headlights and smart connectivity, making it convenient for young families. The A-segment car market is vast, and the i5 enjoys strong sales with short maintenance intervals and low costs. Compared to B-segment cars, it is more fuel-efficient and boasts a rationally designed interior space, ensuring ample legroom in the rear seats without feeling cramped.
