2 Answers
The ground clearance of the new Roewe i5 is 116 millimeters. The new Roewe i5 has added protective devices around the battery pack of the vehicle chassis to avoid damage to the battery when passing through bumpy roads. The minimum ground clearance when unloaded is 150mm, and the minimum ground clearance when fully loaded is 116mm. The new Roewe i5 is a compact sedan: The new Roewe i5 is a compact sedan under SAIC Roewe, equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. As a mid-term facelift model of this series, its naming has also changed, finally named Roewe i5 GT. Regarding the suspension of the Roewe i5: The front suspension of the Roewe i5 is a relatively traditional MacPherson structure with a single-layer stamped lower control arm, featuring a detachable split design. The rear suspension is a torsion beam structure, with the central connecting beam in a V-shape.
From my experience driving the new Roewe i5, the ground clearance is about 150mm. I usually commute in the city, and when encountering speed bumps or slightly uneven roads, the car has no problems at all—it feels quite stable. However, during the rainy season with water accumulation or potholes, you need to slow down a bit, as the clearance is too low and may risk scraping the undercarriage. The clearance design is quite balanced, offering fuel efficiency and comfort, making it suitable for daily commuting. If you're concerned, I also recommend regular checks on the tires and suspension to extend the vehicle's lifespan.
