2 Answers
Roewe 550 is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.8T turbocharged engine. The maximum output power of the 1.8L naturally aspirated engine is 98 kilowatts, with a maximum torque of 170 Newton-meters; the maximum output power of the 1.8T turbocharged engine is 118 kilowatts, with a maximum torque of 215 Newton-meters. Roewe 550 is a compact car under the SAIC Group, with dimensions of 4648 mm in length, 1827 mm in width, and 1483 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2705 mm. The Roewe 550 features further sharpened partial lines, giving it a very youthful and dynamic appearance, while the design of the bumper, headlights, and taillights adds a lot of brilliance and a cutting-edge feel.
I know many Roewe 550 owners. Its most commonly used engines are the 1.8L naturally aspirated and 1.8L turbocharged models. Early models mostly came with the 1.8L engine, producing around 133 horsepower and 168 Nm of torque. City fuel consumption is typically 9 liters per 100 km, while highway driving can reduce it to 7 liters. The turbocharged version, like the 1.8T Kavachi engine, can reach 160 horsepower and 215 Nm of torque, offering quick acceleration but may have slight hesitation during initial take-off. These engines are derived from Rover technology and are generally reliable, but they are prone to carbon buildup or ignition coil issues as they age. I recommend changing the oil every 5,000 km to maintain performance, especially when buying a used car—check for unusual noises or oil leakage signs, as these can affect driving smoothness.
