What engine does the Roewe RX5 MAX have?
3 Answers
Roewe RX5 MAX is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T direct-injection turbocharged aluminum alloy engines. An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy. Taking the 2021 Roewe RX5 MAX as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4647mm, width 1891mm, height 1725mm, with a wheelbase of 2760mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55L. The 2021 Roewe RX5 MAX is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 127kW and a maximum torque of 275Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I have some research on the Roewe RX5 MAX's engine. It is mainly equipped with SAIC Group's 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, model 15E4E, with a maximum power of 181 horsepower and torque of 285 Nm. Paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, the power delivery is smooth, and the turbo kicks in around 1500 rpm, making daily driving free of jerks. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 7-8 liters/100km, slightly higher in city traffic jams, but drops to around 6 liters on highways, which is quite fuel-efficient. Technologically, it features direct fuel injection and dual variable valve timing, improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions. For those seeking stronger performance, the high-end version offers a 2.0T engine with 231 horsepower, delivering faster acceleration, suitable for mountain roads or long-distance travel with loads. Overall, it's reliable, requiring only semi-synthetic oil for maintenance, and with regular upkeep, issues are minimal. The engine layout is compact, making repairs convenient.
Our family uses the Roewe RX5 MAX, equipped with a 1.5T engine. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption is just over 7 liters per 100 km, and it can easily drop to around 6.5 liters on long-distance trips. The power is sufficient to carry the whole family and luggage uphill without difficulty, and the engine noise is minimal, keeping the cabin quiet. It starts quickly in cold winters and warms up effortlessly. Maintenance is hassle-free, with minor services costing just a few hundred yuan, and it hasn’t had any major issues over the years. Compared to other SUVs in the same price range, its 1.5T engine delivers smoother power output than the Haval H6’s 1.5T. While Japanese models like the Toyota RAV4 are more fuel-efficient, they lack horsepower—this car strikes a good balance between performance and affordability. When buying new, I recommend testing the engine response, as its tuning leans toward comfort.
