2 Answers
The engine of the Roewe RX5 is produced in Shanghai. The Roewe RX5 adopts the Blue Core high-efficiency power technology, equipped with two types of in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engines: 2.0T and 1.5T. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm, while the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm. In terms of body dimensions, the Roewe RX5 measures 4556 mm in length, 1855 mm in width, and 1719 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2708 mm. For the suspension system, the Roewe RX5 features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
The engine of the Roewe RX5 is locally produced in China, manufactured by SAIC Motor's own factories. I've seen materials mentioning that the Blue Core series, such as the 1.5T turbocharged model with a maximum power output of 169 horsepower and 250 N·m of torque, is assembled at engine bases in Liuzhou or Shanghai. Technologically, it is independently developed, incorporating efficient combustion technology and lightweight design. In daily driving, the power delivery is smooth, especially in urban conditions where fuel consumption is controlled at around 7.5L/100km, which is quite fuel-efficient. I've researched many models, and this localized manufacturing not only reduces production costs but also ensures convenient parts supply, making it easier for average car owners to find maintenance points and prolonging engine life. As an automotive enthusiast, I appreciate Roewe's efforts in technological innovation. They have collaborated with General Motors, possibly borrowing some reliable platforms to enhance overall performance. Overall, the domestically produced engine supports the rise of domestic vehicles, allowing the RX5 to remain competitive in the SUV market with an affordable price.
