Where is the Roewe RX3 engine produced?
2 Answers
The Roewe RX3 engine is produced in China. This vehicle is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3-liter turbocharged engine. The maximum power output of the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine is 92 kilowatts, with a maximum torque of 158 Newton-meters. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 120 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 230 Newton-meters. The Roewe RX3 is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand, with dimensions of 4408mm in length, 1804mm in width, and 1651mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2625mm.
I've checked the engine specifications of the Roewe RX3. This vehicle primarily uses SAIC's in-house NSE series and Blue Core series engines. The production location is domestic, specifically at SAIC's Lingang Engine Plant in Pudong, which specializes in manufacturing these engines with decent craftsmanship. The RX3 initially used a General Motors-sourced 1.3T engine before switching to in-house production. Domestic engines have made significant progress in recent years - for instance, this 1.6L naturally aspirated engine demonstrates good fuel consumption control and easy access to maintenance parts. However, buyers considering used older models should pay attention to whether it's the early OEM version.
