Where is the spare tire of the Roewe RX5 located?

The spare tire of the Roewe RX5 is located in the trunk, beneath the onboard tool kit. To access it, lift the trunk liner, hang the liner handle on the drainage channel, remove the onboard tool kit, loosen the spare tire locking knob, and then you can take out the spare tire. Taking the 2020 Luxury Edition Roewe RX5 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4571mm, width 1855mm, height 1719mm, with a wheelbase of 2708mm. The 2020 Luxury Edition Roewe RX5 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent trailing arm rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 173PS, a maximum power of 127kW, and a maximum torque of 275Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
After driving the Roewe RX5 for two years, the spare tire is basically stored under the floor of the trunk. You can see it by lifting the large mat, and there's also a tool kit next to it containing the jack and wrench. The location is well-designed, saving space and keeping dust out. I mostly drive in the city, but it came in handy when I had a flat tire last week. It was easy to take out, but the spare tire is quite small, so I wouldn’t recommend using it for long trips. By the way, tire pressure checks are important—I measure the pressure every six months and keep it at the recommended value to avoid unexpected issues on the road. Also, the space is a bit tight, so don’t pile too many things on top of it. Overall, the spare tire location is practical but requires regular maintenance.
I just bought a Roewe RX5 not long ago. When I picked up the car, I asked the salesperson where the spare tire was, and he said it's directly under the trunk floor mat. I tried it, and sure enough, there's a compact spare tire and tools. It doesn't take up much space, but be careful not to block it with luggage when accessing it. The spare tire is a compact size, very convenient for emergencies. Personally, I think the design is thoughtful, especially for novice drivers like me—the location is obvious and hard to forget. However, I should remind everyone that spare tires stored for a long time might lose air pressure, so it's best to check it monthly. Also, in case of an emergency on the road, turn on the hazard lights first before operating for safety. Overall, this location optimizes space utilization and is quite suitable for family use.
