2 Answers
The net weight of the Roewe RX5 is 1592 kilograms. It is a compact SUV under the SAIC Motor Corporation, with body dimensions of 4556 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1719 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T direct-injection turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW at 5500 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I'm quite qualified to talk about the kerb weight of the Roewe RX5, as there's a 2020 1.5T automatic model parked in my driveway. Before purchasing, I specifically checked the data - the older manual version weighed around 1,510kg, while the automatic was approximately 1,535kg. The newer RX5 PLUS jumped to about 1,580kg, mainly due to the addition of a panoramic sunroof and thicker sound insulation materials. You can find the exact curb weight on that shiny silver plate on the B-pillar - mine shows 1,568kg, though the actual weight increases when carrying passengers or cargo. I'd recommend checking the specific model configuration, as the base version can save you 30-40kg. That said, the extra weight really improves highway stability - you won't feel any sway even on windy days.
