What are the differences between Roewe 350s and 350?
2 Answers
Roewe 350 includes the 350s model. 'Roewe 350' is the name of the entire vehicle series, where 'Roewe 350S' represents the base trim, 'Roewe 350C' is the mid-range configuration, and 'Roewe 350D' is the top-tier version. Below is more information about the Roewe 350: Vehicle Positioning: The Roewe 350 is the first (A-segment) compact sedan jointly developed by SAIC Motor and NAC Motor, and it's also the first Roewe family car incorporating 3G technology. Powertrain: High-end Roewe 350 models are equipped with a 1.5VCT engine and DSG dual-clutch transmission. The former is an upgraded version of MG's powertrain, while the latter was co-developed with BorgWarner. For entry-level models, they feature a 1.5L VCT engine paired with a manual transmission.
I've driven several Roewe models, and the difference between the 350 and 350s is quite noticeable. Externally, the 350s has a more sporty look, with redesigned front and rear bumpers and wheel designs, giving it a more dynamic appearance, while the standard 350 leans more towards a family-oriented, stable feel. In terms of performance, the 350s might have a slight upgrade, such as engine tuning that emphasizes quicker acceleration response, making it more exciting to drive on highways. The interior configurations also differ—the 350s features more ergonomic seats with finer materials and adds some tech-savvy touches, like a smoother infotainment screen operation. Maintenance-wise, 350s parts are slightly more expensive, but if you're after style and driving pleasure, I think the 350s is worth it. For long-term use, I'd recommend the 350s—it's great for young people on weekend road trips, offering more driving enjoyment compared to the more conventional 350.
