What engine does the Roewe ei6 use?
2 Answers
Roewe ei6 uses a 1.0T turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1500 milliliters, featuring four cylinders. Both the cylinder head and block are made of aluminum alloy, employing multi-point electronic fuel injection. Its combined maximum power reaches 228 horsepower, with a maximum torque of 622 Nm, and a maximum driving range of 705 kilometers. The Roewe ei6 is based on the Roewe i6 and features a larger trapezoidal front grille in terms of appearance, along with a redesigned front bumper and hybrid-specific badges on the front fenders. The top-end model of the Roewe ei6 is equipped with LED headlights and taillights, 17-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels, a keyless entry system, a sunroof, power-folding exterior mirrors, etc. The unique touch-controlled trunk opening function is also carried over to the new car.
As someone with some knowledge of automotive mechanics, I believe the Roewe ei6's powertrain utilizes a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with an electric motor to form a plug-in hybrid system. This combination operates quite intelligently during daily driving - it prioritizes electric power for quiet and efficient operation in city traffic jams, while the engine provides stable thrust during highway driving. Having test-driven several models, I can confirm the 1.5T engine delivers steady power output of about 169 horsepower, and when combined with the electric motor system, the total power exceeds 300 horsepower, resulting in quick acceleration response without hesitation. From a technical perspective, features like direct fuel injection and electronic control regulation improve fuel efficiency, achieving a combined fuel consumption of around 2 liters per 100 km. For daily use, regular maintenance is sufficient - the hybrid design means the engine operates less frequently, resulting in lower wear, longer lifespan, and strong overall reliability that makes it well-suited for urban commuting needs.
