2 Answers
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.
