What engine does the Roewe i5 have?
2 Answers
Roewe i5 is equipped with two engines: 1.5L and 1.5T. The following are the differences between the 1.5L and 1.5T engines: 1. Different working principles: 1.5T refers to a turbocharged engine, while 1.5L is a naturally aspirated engine. The former uses the exhaust gas generated by the engine to drive the turbine, thereby sucking in more air, with the aim of making the cylinders in the engine burn more fully, thus reducing fuel consumption and increasing horsepower. The 1.5L, on the other hand, refers to a naturally aspirated engine model, with the car equipped with a 1.5L displacement naturally aspirated engine. The entire air intake process of the engine relies on the negative pressure generated when the piston moves downward to draw in air. 2. Different horsepower and fuel consumption: A car with a 1.5T engine can increase the original engine's horsepower by 40% or even more. Therefore, a car with a 1.5T engine has greater horsepower and power, but also consumes more fuel. A car with a 1.5L engine can only maintain the original engine's horsepower, so its fuel consumption is relatively much lower. 3. Different development histories: The L-type engine is a naturally aspirated engine with a long history of use and significant achievements in development, offering better reliability and practicality. These are their respective advantages. 4. Different prices: The L-type engine is cheaper in price, while cars with T-type engines are more expensive, but they are more environmentally friendly.
The Roewe i5 is primarily equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine featuring DVVT technology (Dual Continuous Variable Valve Timing), delivering around 120 horsepower. At 6000 RPM, it provides ample power with a torque of 150 Nm, making it suitable for both city commuting and highway driving. The engine design utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder block, offering good lightweight properties and heat dissipation. Coupled with an optimized electronic control system for fuel injection, the driving experience is smooth, with fuel consumption maintained at around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. Having driven this car several times, I found its acceleration responsive, with minimal noise, making it particularly ideal for daily family use. Opting for the turbocharged version enhances the power further, delivering a more noticeable push-back sensation. Overall, this engine is considered reliable among domestic models, with low maintenance costs—replacing the oil filter costs just around a hundred yuan.
