Roewe i5 uses two types of engines in total, one is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm; the 1.5-liter turbocharged engine has 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The Roewe i5 is a compact sedan under the Roewe brand, featuring a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a torsion beam non-independent suspension at the rear. In terms of body dimensions, the Roewe i5 measures 4601mm in length, 1818mm in width, and 1489mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Exterior-wise, the Roewe i5 adopts the Roewe family's rhythmic floating wing grille design, paired with rectangular headlight clusters, and features a trapezoidal air intake below. The side profile showcases a dual waistline design, while the rear end sports a small ducktail spoiler.
I have been driving the Roewe i5 for a while, which is equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. In daily driving, the power output feels smooth, with minimal noise during startup, and the fuel consumption is well controlled—around 6 liters per 100 kilometers in the city, which is quite fuel-efficient. The acceleration is linear and smooth, without any turbo lag, making it suitable for family needs. When driving my kids to and from school, the power feels a bit lacking on mountain roads, but it’s perfectly adequate for city driving. Maintenance is also straightforward, with long service intervals—just a few hundred yuan for an oil change—and good durability. Overall, this engine is highly reliable, making my driving life easier with no major issues.
