What is the curb weight of the Roewe RX5?
2 Answers
The curb weight of the Roewe RX5 two-wheel-drive version is 1,592 kilograms, while the four-wheel-drive version weighs 1,680 kilograms. Curb weight, commonly referred to as the vehicle's own weight, is officially defined as: the weight of the car under normal driving conditions (with 90% fuel in the tank) + onboard accessories (spare tire, tools, etc.) + a driver's weight of 68 kilograms (as an example) and 7 kilograms of luggage. Here is more information about the Roewe RX5: 1. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0T and a 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, with a minimum combined fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100 km; the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 6.8L per 100 km. 2. The dimensions of the Roewe RX5 are: 4545/1855/1690 mm, with a wheelbase of 2700 mm.
I bought the new Roewe RX5 last year and specifically checked the manual when I picked up the car. The curb weight varies by configuration. The base 1.5T manual transmission model weighs just over 1.5 tons, while my automatic high-end version with a sunroof and roof rack has a labeled curb weight of 1580kg. Last month during maintenance, I weighed it with half a tank of fuel and no extra items—it was 1620kg. A word of advice for potential buyers: adding side steps or a roof box will significantly increase the weight. A fellow owner who added these saw their vehicle's weight exceed 1.7 tons. That said, the chassis tuning is quite stable—it doesn’t feel floaty even at 140km/h on the highway.
