I've researched many cars myself. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, commonly known as DCT. Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, it has two sets of clutches that alternate operation, enabling exceptionally fast gear shifts and delivering a smooth, jerk-free driving experience. This car performs exceptionally well during high-speed overtaking while maintaining low fuel consumption, with actual measured combined fuel economy around 7L/100km. However, it has some drawbacks—occasional minor jerking may be felt during slow-moving traffic jams, requiring some adaptation. For long-term use, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every two years to prevent internal wear from significantly affecting its lifespan. Overall, it's a quite durable option suitable for drivers who prefer hassle-free motoring.
I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for a while now, and as my main vehicle for city commuting, its transmission is a dual-clutch type called the 7-speed DCT, which has proven to be reliable in daily use. When starting the car, gear shifts are practically silent, acceleration is quick, and it's fuel-efficient. It's also effortless for weekend highway trips with the family. The downside is that in complex road conditions, such as areas with many traffic lights, the shifting can sometimes feel less smooth, but you get used to it over time. For maintenance, I recommend regular check-ups at authorized service centers to prevent minor issues from escalating into major repairs. Personally, I recommend it—it's economical and practical.
I prefer hands-on modifications when it comes to cars. The stock Roewe RX5 comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which offers quick response and good fuel efficiency, making it suitable for daily commuting in the city. If you're serious about upgrades, some owners have seen significant performance improvements after ECU tuning, but it's essential to have it done by a professional shop to avoid damaging the electrical system. Overall, it's a good choice for lazy drivers, with hassle-free automatic shifting and decent reliability—just don't drive it too aggressively.
