The Roewe RX5 MAX is an upgraded version of the RX5, featuring a larger body size and a redesigned front fascia that makes it resemble the RX8 more closely. Additionally, the Roewe RX5 MAX offers not only a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine option but also a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine variant. Below are the key details about the RX5 MAX: 1. The RX5 MAX has a larger body size compared to the RX5. 2. The RX5 MAX measures 4647 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760 mm. In contrast, the RX5 measures 4556 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1719 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm. 3. The RX5 is exclusively equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 4. The RX5 MAX comes with two engine options: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
When driving the Roewe RX5 Max and RX5, I feel the biggest difference is the space. As someone who frequently drives long distances and has driven both models, the RX5 Max is noticeably larger than the RX5, especially in the rear seats and trunk. It's much more spacious for family picnics, with more legroom and easier luggage storage. The RX5, being more compact, is much easier to park and reverse, making it more convenient for city driving. The seats in the Max are more comfortable, with better cushioning and support, reducing fatigue on long drives, while the RX5's seats can feel a bit stiff over time. Safety-wise, the Max has additional airbag features, providing more peace of mind when traveling with kids. Overall, if you prioritize space and comfort, go for the Max; if you prefer agility and cost-efficiency, the RX5 is the better choice.
