What is the fuel consumption of the new Roewe i5?

[Sandra]

The fuel consumption of the Roewe i5 during the break-in period is between 5.5-5.7L per 100 kilometers. Below is the relevant introduction: Roewe: Roewe (ROEWE) is an automobile brand under Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) (SAIC), launched in October 2006. On October 12, 2006, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) (hereinafter referred to as "SAIC") officially announced that its independent brand would be named "Roewe (ROEWE)", meaning "Innovation Glory, Dignity Worldwide". The Roewe brand has developed rapidly within four years, with its products covering the mid-size and mid-to-high-end car markets. "Technology" has become the brand label of Roewe cars. The brand slogan of Roewe is "Technology with Style, Knows You and Knows How". Brand Introduction: Hu Maoyuan, Chairman of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) and SAIC, believes that the development goal of SAIC during the "11th Five-Year Plan" is to become a leading domestic automotive group with core competitiveness and international operational capabilities. Creating an independent international brand is a solid step towards achieving this goal and will enable SAIC to achieve sustainable development. Chen Hong, Vice Chairman of Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group) and President of SAIC, stated: SAIC has always followed a high-starting-point, international, and leapfrog development strategy, and creating an internationally competitive independent brand is its mission. Based on high-starting-point products, "Roewe (ROEWE)" is a mid-to-high-end brand with a new cultural connotation and value orientation, and it is an important step for SAIC to realize its international development strategy.

As a long-term owner of the Roewe i5, I've studied its fuel consumption. When the car was brand new, the combined fuel consumption was around 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite close to the official data. On highways, it could drop to about 4.8 liters, while in congested city traffic, it might rise to 6.2 liters, which is not unusual. In actual driving, I found the break-in period particularly crucial. For example, avoiding aggressive throttle use in the first few hundred kilometers and maintaining a steady speed can save a lot of fuel. Turning on the air conditioning adds a bit more than half a liter to the fuel consumption, but overall, it's still slightly more fuel-efficient than comparable cars like the Emgrand. For maintenance, I recommend checking tire pressure monthly and ensuring the air filter isn't too dirty. Doing so can save hundreds of yuan in fuel costs over a year. Shifting gears smoothly is important—sudden acceleration consumes fuel quickly, and developing good driving habits leads to more stable fuel consumption.

I just bought a Roewe i5, and the feeling of driving a new car is fantastic. In terms of fuel consumption, it initially averaged around 5.6 liters, dropping below 5 liters on highways but rising to a bit over 6 liters in city traffic jams—these fluctuations are normal. I remember my first long trip, driving 300 kilometers and using just over 20 liters of fuel, a pleasant surprise in savings. Driving style has a big impact; using the AC less or braking less can save about 10% on fuel. Compared to my friend’s car, my i5’s fuel consumption isn’t high, saving me around a thousand yuan a year in fuel costs. After a year of driving, it’s maintained an average of about 5.4 liters, which I’m quite satisfied with. Regular maintenance like oil changes helps keep the engine efficient and fuel consumption low.

I drive a new Roewe i5 with an average fuel consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers, around 6 liters in the city and less than 5 liters on the highway. Good driving habits can save about 10% of fuel—avoid sudden acceleration and use eco mode more often. The fuel cost is cheap, only about 30 yuan per 100 kilometers. Compared to other cars, this model is quite fuel-efficient. Maintaining proper tire pressure and keeping the air filter clean can help reduce fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption depends on specific conditions. The Roewe i5 has a combined fuel economy of around 5.5L/100km when new. However, actual consumption varies significantly - urban traffic congestion can push it above 6L, while highway cruising may drop to 4.9L. Using AC or carrying full loads typically adds about 0.6L. Driving techniques like gentle acceleration and maintaining 60-80km/h speeds optimize efficiency. I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration during break-in period, and regularly checking spark plugs and fuel system condition as these directly affect consumption stability. Poor road conditions rapidly increase consumption, but good habits can maintain it around 5.2L.

Driving the Roewe i5 is a delightful experience, with an average fuel consumption of 5.5 liters for the new car. The feeling of it dropping below 5 liters during high-speed driving is incredibly satisfying. For daily commutes, the fuel consumption remains stable at 5.6 liters round trip, costing just a few thousand yuan a year in fuel, which isn't expensive. The driving fun isn't compromised while maintaining good fuel control, especially with smooth starts and less use of brakes. Using air conditioning or heating in winter consumes a bit more fuel, but overall, it's worry-free. After the break-in period, fuel consumption can be optimized a bit, so remember to adapt to the car's condition in the first month. More than the numbers, I enjoy the leisurely driving days brought by fuel efficiency, as lower fuel consumption means money is spent more wisely.
