2 Answers
The base model of the Roewe i5 weighs 1185 kg, the mid-range model weighs 1230 kg, and the top model weighs 1270 kg. Roewe i5 Exterior: The Roewe i5 features the Roewe family's rhythmic floating wing wide-body grille design, paired with rectangular front headlights. It also comes with a trapezoidal air intake below. The side profile adopts a dual waistline design, and the rear features a small ducktail spoiler. Additionally, all models come with a limited free upgrade to LED headlights. Roewe i5 Configuration: The upgraded Roewe i5 is equipped with the SuperPilot intelligent active driving assistance system, which integrates six major functions including ACC adaptive cruise control, AEB automatic emergency braking, and LDW lane departure warning. It also comes standard with a TPMS direct tire pressure monitoring system, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and more.
I've been driving the Roewe i5 for a while now, and I feel its weight is around 1,250 kg, which can vary depending on the configuration. For example, the manual transmission version might be just over 1,200 kg, while the automatic transmission version is close to 1,300 kg. Weight affects the driving experience—like when I'm often stuck in city traffic, a heavier body feels more stable and doesn't feel as floaty at high speeds as lighter cars do. In terms of fuel consumption, a heavier car might use a bit more fuel, but it offers higher safety and better grip when cornering. The body materials use lightweight design, balancing performance and efficiency. Compared to other cars like the Volkswagen Lavida at around 1,300 kg, the Roewe i5 isn't too heavy, making it suitable for daily commuting. When buying a car, check the manual specifications to ensure you choose the right configuration, avoiding difficulties with parking or uphill driving.
