What is the actual fuel consumption of the Roewe RX5 ePlus?
2 Answers
1.8T Roewe RX5 models are all two-wheel drive, with transmission systems available in either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Their MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 6.8L/100Km, but the actual average fuel consumption is 8.32L/100Km and 9.10L/100Km, respectively. Specific details are as follows: 1. Roewe RX5: Roewe is an independent brand under SAIC, and the Roewe RX5 is a compact SUV launched by Roewe. 2. Engine: The Roewe RX5 offers two turbocharged engine options, one being a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 169 horsepower, and the other a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 220 horsepower.
As a long-term owner of the Roewe RX5 ePlus, I believe the actual fuel consumption varies from person to person, mainly depending on driving habits and usage scenarios. This plug-in hybrid vehicle allows me to primarily use pure electric mode for daily commuting, with the odometer showing an actual comprehensive fuel consumption of around 1.5 to 3 liters per 100 kilometers. The official NEDC data claims 1.5L/100km, but my real-world measurements align more closely with the average user experience. For instance, when switching to hybrid mode on highways, fuel consumption rises to 4-6 liters; it can go even higher with air conditioning in traffic jams. The key point is that the system automatically switches to fuel-driven mode when the battery is low. If you frequently take long trips and forget to recharge, the fuel consumption may approach that of a conventional SUV at around 7 liters. My personal advice is to prioritize pure electric mode to save significantly on fuel costs. New owners are encouraged to utilize fast-charging stations or home charging and plan their trips wisely. While hybrid vehicles generally consume less fuel than traditional cars, for more precise tracking, it's best to use dedicated apps to record actual driving data or refer to shared experiences in owner communities. Rest assured, operating costs for this vehicle remain reasonable—just ensure timely maintenance and proper care of the battery system to maintain its efficiency.
