Roewe RX5 models do not have a key ignition hole. More details about the Roewe RX5 are as follows: The Roewe RX5 features a push-button start, so there is no need to insert the key into an ignition hole when starting the vehicle. The Roewe RX5 is positioned as a compact SUV, with body dimensions of 4556mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1719mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. There are two power modes available: 1.

Having worked as an auto mechanic for so many years, I've dealt with numerous issues related to the Roewe RX5. Regarding the key ignition port location, if you're looking for a traditional ignition slot, most older models like the 2017 base version have it on the right side of the steering column – a clearly visible recess where you can insert the key to start. However, many newer RX5 models such as the 2023 version now come with a push-button start system; you simply press the button, and there's no exposed keyhole at all. Don't worry—in such cases, the keyhole is hidden. In the event of a dead key battery or system failure, the backup port might be concealed beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side or under a plastic cover inside the steering column base; just pry it open to use. I recommend that owners first check their vehicle's configuration manual or consult the dealership to clarify the model specifications. If you can't locate the position, avoid prying randomly yourself; instead, have a professional inspect the circuit connections. This prevents damage to components and allows for a check on the key battery's lifespan, ensuring everything is foolproof.
