The length, width, and height dimensions of the SAIC Roewe RX5 are 4556mm/1855mm/1719mm, which are official data. The length of the SAIC Roewe RX5 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and respectively touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The turbocharged engine of the SAIC Roewe RX5 has a maximum power of 133kW and a maximum torque of 285 Nm. The maximum power speed of this engine is 5600 rpm, and the maximum torque speed ranges from 1400 to 4000 rpm. It is equipped with direct injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include the rearview mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. In other words, the significance of vehicle width data in the national standard is to ensure adequate space during overtaking, preventing accidents or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for almost two years. I remember its body dimensions are approximately 4.56 meters in length (4556 mm), 1.855 meters in width (1855 mm), and 1.719 meters in height (1719 mm), with a wheelbase of 2.7 meters (2700 mm). Driving it in the city can be a bit challenging, especially when parking as you need to find slightly larger spaces, but handling it isn't difficult—the steering is flexible and not cumbersome. The interior space is extremely satisfying; the long wheelbase allows for stretched-out legs in the back, and sitting three friends isn't cramped. The trunk can easily accommodate three large suitcases with room to spare. On the highway, the body remains stable, unlike smaller cars that might feel floaty, making long trips highly comfortable. The fuel consumption is reasonable, averaging around 7-8 liters per 100 kilometers. I initially chose it for its balanced size—not too long, not too short—making it super suitable for family use.
