What is the ground clearance of the Roewe i5?
2 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Roewe i5 is 116mm. Below is some information about Roewe: Introduction: Roewe is an automobile brand under Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group), launched in October 2006. History: Roewe's automotive technology originates from Rover, which was previously acquired by Shanghai Automotive, but the brand itself is independently developed. Since its establishment, the brand has grown rapidly, with its products covering the mid-range and upper mid-range car markets. Brand: Roewe's brand slogan is "Taste, Technology, Realization," expressing Shanghai Automotive's determination and confidence in inheriting international automotive advanced technology with an innovative vision and a focus on civilian vehicle technology to create a new classic international brand.
I just came back from driving the Roewe i5 along the Sichuan-Tibet line, and I really need to talk about the ground clearance. When unloaded, the car has just over 120mm of ground clearance, but with luggage and a full load, it drops to around 110mm. You have to be extra careful when going over speed bumps. Last time on National Highway 318, I encountered road construction and had to move slowly on gravel roads—if I went even slightly faster, I could hear the sound of the chassis scraping. I recommend drivers who frequently travel on rough roads to install an additional underbody protection panel, as the factory-installed plastic one is too thin. It’s perfectly fine for city driving, but you need to be more cautious when driving on dirt roads back home, especially after rain when there are many muddy potholes.
