RX5 is the Roewe RX5 under SAIC Motor. Taking the 2020 Roewe RX5 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 124kw and a maximum torque of 250nm, featuring an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission (MT). This vehicle adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension.
Since purchasing the Roewe RX5, my experience has been very positive. This compact SUV was launched by SAIC Roewe in 2016, targeting urban family use and younger demographics. My model is equipped with a 1.5T engine, offering quick acceleration and ample power, making daily commutes effortless. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages around 8.5L/100km in the city and drops to 6.5L on highways, running economically on 92-octane fuel. The space is well-designed, comfortably seating five people without feeling cramped, and the trunk can fit two suitcases plus backpacks. The smart features are a highlight, with an integrated internet-connected system allowing voice control for navigation and music, reducing distractions while driving. The interior has a modern finish with supportive seats that prevent fatigue on long trips. Maintenance costs are moderate, with routine servicing at 4S shops costing a few hundred yuan. The only drawback is slightly noticeable engine noise at low speeds, but it's easily masked by music. Regular checks of fluids and tires are recommended to prolong the vehicle's lifespan.
