Dimensions: The Roewe RX5 Plus is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand, with a length of 4571 mm, width of 1855 mm, height of 1719 mm, and a wheelbase of 2708 mm. Engine: This vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers 173 horsepower and a maximum torque of 275 Nm.

I've been driving the Roewe RX5 Plus for over a year now, and as a young owner in my 20s, I'd like to share my real-world experience. The official claim is around 6.5L/100km, but with frequent traffic jams in the city, my average consumption rises to 8.5-9L. On highways, it drops to just over 7L. When using AC or carrying heavy loads, fuel consumption increases dramatically, often exceeding 10L/100km. Compared to friends' SUVs like the Honda CR-V which is more fuel-efficient, the RX5 Plus isn't the most economical, though its space and power are decent. I recommend avoiding aggressive acceleration and maintaining regular tire and engine care, which can save about 5% fuel. Overall it's suitable for daily family use, just budget more for fuel. Before purchase, reviews warned that real-world consumption is much higher than official figures - my experience confirms this, especially noticeable when switching from electric to gasoline vehicles in urban driving.
