I've driven the Roewe RX5 for several years. Recently, I test drove the RX5 Max while helping a friend choose a car, and found it significantly larger than the RX5. The body length has increased considerably, and the wheelbase is slightly longer. The rear seating space is much more spacious—three people can sit comfortably without feeling cramped, and the trunk can hold more luggage, making it more practical. The suspension tuning is softer, reducing bumpiness on city roads and providing a more stable ride. The power is mostly similar, but some Max models have slightly more horsepower. The interior materials have been upgraded, with less plastic feel and improved quality. Additional safety features like blind-spot monitoring have been added. Maintenance costs are similar, though the Max is slightly more expensive. However, the extra cost for more comfort and space is well worth it, making it ideal for large families or frequent travelers.
