3 Answers
The new Roewe RX3 is equipped with a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5,200 rpm and a maximum torque range between 1,800 to 4,400 rpm. It features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 125 horsepower and a maximum torque of 158 Nm, with a maximum power output at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque at 4,500 rpm. It also features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission. The dimensions of the new Roewe RX3 are 4,408 mm in length, 1,804 mm in width, 1,651 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,625 mm.
I've researched the new Roewe RX3, which is equipped with a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine with a four-cylinder layout, delivering around 120 horsepower and approximately 150 Nm of maximum torque. This engine features DVVT technology, automatically adjusting valve timing to optimize fuel efficiency and emissions, with a combined fuel consumption of about 6-7 liters per 100 km. Paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission or manual transmission option, it drives smoothly and quietly, making it particularly suitable for urban commuting. Compared to other domestic SUVs in the same class, it stands out in terms of reliability and maintenance costs, offering a long service life and ample power for daily needs, even occasional highway driving. I think this is a pragmatic engine configuration that doesn't over-pursue power but balances performance, environmental friendliness, and driving comfort.
I've driven the new Roewe RX3 and found its 1.6L engine quite solid. It delivers smooth and powerful acceleration for daily driving, and handles uphill climbs effortlessly. The fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging 7-8L in stop-and-go city traffic and dropping below 6L on highways, making it economical and practical. Compared to turbocharged engines, this naturally aspirated design is simpler to maintain – just regular oil and filter changes can keep it running well for years, reducing unnecessary repair hassles. The engine noise is minimal, allowing undisturbed conversations or music enjoyment inside the cabin. I'm very satisfied with this economical configuration, perfect for family trips or daily commuting.
