Where is the Roewe RX3 engine produced?
2 Answers
The two engines of the Roewe RX3 are both domestically produced in China. The RX3 is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand, equipped with two engine options: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. These are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission respectively. In terms of exterior design, the RX3 maintains Roewe's family-style design language, featuring a continuous front grille composed of horizontal chrome strips that connect with the headlight assembly's internal lines. This family-oriented design gives the vehicle a more youthful appearance, while refined detailing enhances its sporty character. Regarding the chassis system, the RX3 adopts a MacPherson strut setup for the front suspension and a torsion beam arrangement for the rear, utilizing a separate spring and shock absorber layout.
Just studied the Roewe RX3's specs - the engines mainly come from SAIC's own production base. A buddy in my car club who drives an RX3 mentioned seeing 'Made in Shanghai Lingang' on the engine nameplate. SAIC's Lingang plant has pretty advanced tech with fully automated production lines, where the 1.6L Blue Core engine is assembled. Interestingly, many core components come from international suppliers like Bosch, but the assembly and tuning are all done by domestic teams - the throttle response feels super direct. Remember reading last year that the Lingang plant even exports engines to Southeast Asia.
