3 Answers
The Roewe i5 engine model is located above the left and right shock absorbers in the engine compartment. Taking the 2020 Roewe i5 as an example, it is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 169PS, a maximum power of 124kW, a maximum torque of 250Nm, and is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 2020 Roewe i5 is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4601mm, width 1818mm, height 1489mm, a wheelbase of 2680mm, a fuel tank capacity of 45L, a trunk capacity of 512L, and a curb weight of 1270kg.
Last time I helped a friend check out the Roewe i5, I was also curious about where to find the engine model. Remember to inspect the engine block - after opening the hood, there's a small metal nameplate on the top or side of the engine with engraved model numbers like the common 15S4C or 15E4E. However, the engine compartment is a bit cramped, so be careful not to touch hot components; it's best to wait until the car cools down. Alternatively, if you don't want to fuss around, the production label near the door B-pillar contains the VIN. Inputting this code on Roewe's official website or app will automatically display engine details. The owner's manual also specifies the exact location on which page. Knowing the model is crucial for matching the correct oil and filters to avoid maintenance mistakes. Last time when my friend replaced spark plugs, we discovered different models required specific parts - checking this saved a lot of trouble.
As someone who frequently works on these cars, I'm used to checking a few fixed points to locate the engine model. First, on the engine block, the nameplate is usually affixed in a visible location. Second is the vehicle's factory identification, typically found on the driver's side door pillar or under the hood, alongside the VIN code. Also, don't overlook the vehicle manual, which has a dedicated section listing all technical specifications. Before starting, ensure the engine is off and the area is spacious for safety. Engine models vary by year; for example, pre-2020 models mostly had gasoline engines like the 15S4C, while newer hybrid versions differ. Verifying this can prevent mismatched parts or performance issues. Knowing the model during maintenance allows for precise parts ordering, saving trips to the repair shop.
