As a car owner, I've been driving the Roewe RX5 for over two years and have always been curious about the origin of its engine. After asking a mechanic, I learned that the car's engine is mainly produced by SAIC Motor in their factories in China, such as those in Shanghai or Liuzhou. The 1.5T engine used in the RX5 is part of SAIC's self-developed Blue Core series, which offers strong power, quick acceleration, and good fuel efficiency. I've heard that many new Roewe models use this type of engine. I drive it daily for commuting and have never encountered any issues, which makes me feel that domestic technology has really improved a lot. If you're concerned about the details, you can check the engine label, which usually says 'Made in China'—very reassuring.
