What is the engine model of the Roewe i5?
2 Answers
Roewe i5 is equipped with the Blue Core engine jointly developed by SAIC and General Motors. The technical reliability of this engine has reached a globally leading level. The characteristics of this engine include energy saving, emission reduction, and reduced fuel consumption. The following is an introduction to the Blue Core engine strategy: The strategy includes the MEG series and SGE series of direct injection engines. The MEG series can be further divided into 2.0L, 2.0T, and 1.8T engines, while the SGE series includes 1.0T, 1.4T, and 1.5T engines. The Blue Core engine utilizes advanced technologies such as an integrated turbocharging system, water-cooled integrated exhaust manifold, and intelligent oil pressure management.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for several years. Its engines commonly come in two versions: a 1.5L naturally aspirated variant and a 1.5L turbocharged variant. The 2022 model primarily features the 1.5L naturally aspirated LF15V engine, delivering around 120 horsepower, which is quite fuel-efficient with an average urban commuting fuel consumption of approximately 6L/100km. When I was choosing a car, I compared it with competitors and found that its power response is slightly quicker than the Geely Emgrand, but noise control is average. Regular maintenance is crucial. For instance, I check the engine oil level every month and replace the spark plugs every 30,000 kilometers; otherwise, it's prone to unstable idling. In the used car market, this engine has fewer issues and a long lifespan, making it suitable for buyers on a budget. Maintenance costs aren't too high, with minor services costing just a few hundred yuan.
