Where is the spare tire located on the Roewe RX5?

The spare tire is stored inside the luggage compartment, located beneath the onboard tool kit. Below is relevant information about the Roewe RX5's spare tire: 1. The spare tire brand is Maxxis. 2. The Roewe RX5's spare tire is a non-full-size tire, intended only for temporary use and should only be installed on non-driving wheels. The maximum speed should not exceed 80 km/h. Non-full-size spare tires are lightweight and compact, saving space in the trunk. The reduced weight of a non-full-size spare tire can slightly decrease fuel consumption, thereby improving performance. 3. Owners should regularly inspect the spare tire, primarily checking tire pressure and for any signs of wear. Tires should be replaced before the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If cracks are present, the spare tire should not be used for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the thinner sidewalls are prone to blowouts at high speeds. Being rubber products, spare tires can deteriorate over time, typically aging after about 4 years, after which the spare tire should be replaced.
I remember that on the Roewe RX5, the spare tire is usually hidden under the trunk floor at the rear of the car. Lifting the trunk carpet reveals a small storage compartment where the spare tire lies flat. This design is quite clever, as it saves space and ensures secure placement. I've checked my car, and the toolkit, including the jack and wrench, is stored nearby. When using them, remember to park and turn off the engine, then gently remove the tools with the wrench to avoid injury. The spare tire is a smaller size and is only for temporary use, with a speed limit of 80 km/h. The exact location might slightly vary by model year, but the standard setup is like this for convenient emergency tire changes.
As a Roewe RX5 owner, I've personally changed the spare tire. It's located at the bottom of the trunk and becomes visible once you lift the floor cover. Last time when I had a nail in my tire, that's exactly where I found it. The toolkit is in the adjacent box, containing screws and brackets. The position is easy to locate and quite handy when needed. Don't overlook the spare tire's air pressure - it's recommended to check it monthly and maintain around 80 PSI. The design eliminates the rear protrusion, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing, and you don't have to worry about wobbling during safe driving.
