Roewe RX5 manual version has a curb weight of 1592KG, while the four-wheel-drive variant weighs 1680KG. Below is relevant information about the Roewe RX5: 1. The standard definition of a vehicle's curb weight generally refers to: the weight of the car under normal operating conditions ready to drive (with 90% fuel in the tank) + onboard accessories (spare tire, tools, etc.) + driver weight of 68 kilograms and luggage of 7 kilograms. 2. The Roewe RX5 is an internet SUV launched by SAIC Roewe in 2016. The vehicle adopts the 'Blue Core' high-efficiency powertrain technology, equipped with 2.0T and 1.5T in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engines. The 2.0T engine delivers a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, with a minimum combined fuel consumption of 8.1L per 100 kilometers; the 1.5T engine produces a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, with a combined fuel consumption of only 6.8L per 100 kilometers.

I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for over a year. The vehicle weighs around 1,500 kg, depending on whether it's the two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive version—the two-wheel drive is slightly lighter, about 1,450 kg, while the four-wheel drive might reach 1,550 kg. The extra weight makes it very stable on the highway, even in windy or rainy conditions, though acceleration in the city feels a bit sluggish, especially when starting from a green light—it always seems a bit slow. Fuel consumption averages around 10 liters per 100 km under normal driving conditions, which isn’t particularly fuel-efficient but is acceptable. The body uses high-strength steel to reduce weight, but maneuvering in tight parking spots can be tricky—you have to turn the wheel slowly to avoid scratches. During maintenance, pay extra attention to the suspension system, as the heavier weight can lead to quicker wear. After a few long trips, I found it comfortable and safe. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with it for family use, though new drivers might need some time to get used to the sense of weight.

What is the Difference Between Automatic and Manual Transmissions?

Manual and automatic transmissions differ primarily in terms of driving comfort. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Manual Transmission: Officially known as a manual gearbox, abbreviated as MT, it primarily functions by manually shifting the gear lever to change speed and gears. 2. Automatic Transmission: With an automatic transmission, the driver does not need to manually shift the gear lever. Instead, the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed, vehicle condition, road conditions, and other factors during operation. The driver typically only needs to control the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel, with no need to operate the gearbox or use a clutch pedal.

What are the steps to use the auto hold function?

The use of auto hold mainly involves four steps, as follows: Step 1: Fasten the seat belt and activate the auto function while driving. Step 2: When the vehicle comes to a complete stop during driving, you can release the brake pedal. A parking indicator will appear on the instrument panel, and the vehicle will remain stationary. The gear can be kept in D or N position. Step 3: Gently press the accelerator pedal to release the brake. Step 4: Remember to shift to P position and engage the parking brake before exiting the vehicle. The function of auto hold: It serves to hold the vehicle when stopping and starting in traffic. The auto hold switch button is usually located next to the electronic parking brake and can be freely turned on or off.

What is the difference between fog lights and low beams?

The differences between fog lights and low beams mainly lie in brightness, light color, light penetration, and beam angle. Low beams have relatively low power, their beam angle is below the horizontal line, and the bulb's power is not very high. Fog lights have strong penetration and can cut through dense fog in heavy fog conditions, allowing drivers to clearly see the road ahead. The purpose of low beams is to illuminate a certain distance in front of the vehicle. Their power is relatively low, and the beam angle is below the horizontal line. Using low beams while driving has minimal impact or interference on other vehicles. However, in heavy fog, low beams with weak penetration are ineffective, making it difficult for drivers to see clearly. In such cases, fog lights are needed to compensate for the low beams' inability to penetrate heavy rain or dense fog. Fog lights have strong penetration and can cut through dense fog in heavy fog conditions, allowing drivers to clearly see the road ahead. Therefore, they are typically used in heavy fog. Their power is much higher than that of low beams, and their beam angle, brightness, and penetration are also significantly better. They are highly effective in heavy fog, but because their penetration is too strong, they can be glaring. Using fog lights in normal weather conditions can cause significant interference to drivers of vehicles ahead or behind, increasing the risk of accidents.

Where is the three-way catalytic converter located in a car?

The three-way catalytic converter is generally installed in the first bulge of the car's exhaust manifold, resembling a device similar to a canteen. It is positioned within the vehicle's exhaust system and serves as a crucial external purification device in the exhaust system. The term "three-way" in the three-way catalytic converter has two interpretations: First, it can convert the three main harmful substances produced after engine combustion into harmless substances. This converter simultaneously transforms the three primary harmful substances resulting from engine combustion into harmless materials, hence the name "three-way." The three main substances are: carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides. Second, because this converter contains three precious metals: platinum, rhodium, and palladium, it is called "three-way." These three precious metals facilitate the reaction between the three main harmful gases produced after engine combustion, ultimately forming harmless carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water.

What is the normal tire pressure for the Atenza?

The normal tire pressure range for the Atenza is 2.4-2.5 bar. Due to seasonal factors, the tire pressure can be appropriately increased by 0.2 bar in winter and reduced by 0.1 bar in summer. The Atenza's tire pressure monitoring system is an indirect type, which only alerts when the tire pressure is abnormal and does not display specific values. To check the tire pressure, first prepare a tire pressure gauge, locate the position of the factory tire pressure label, press the gauge onto the tire valve to measure and read the pressure, and remember to replace the valve cap after measurement. If the tire pressure monitoring indicator light comes on (a yellow symbol with an irregular circle, no stamp on top, four small spikes at the bottom, and an exclamation mark inside), there are generally three possible reasons: Abnormal tire pressure. The system usually alerts when the pressure is below 1.8 bar or above 3.0 bar. In this case, the tires need to be checked and the pressure adjusted. The tire pressure monitoring system has not been reset. After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure reset is not performed promptly, the system will still record the previous data, causing the indicator light to come on. Simply performing a tire pressure reset will resolve this issue. Damaged tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure sensor, which monitors tire pressure, is directly installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation port. If the sensor is damaged during driving, it can also trigger the tire pressure warning light. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new component.
