The Roewe RX5, which was launched in July 2016, is based on SAIC's SSA platform, just like MG Ruiteng.
 
The Roewe RX5 powertrain is also the same as MG Ruiteng, both are 1.5T turbocharged and 2.0T turbocharged, with 7-speed dual-clutch and 6-speed dual-clutch respectively, obviously, 1.5T is the absolute main sales force. Relying on the engine technology shared by SAIC and GM, Roewe has become a Chinese brand SUV, one of the few really fast cars, this set of 1.5T 7-speed dry dual-clutch powertrain has appeared in Envision, Ruiteng and other models, equipped with a 1.5T engine Roewe RX5 0 to 100 kilometers acceleration into 9.5 seconds, and the 2.0T version has 8 seconds to break 100 acceleration results.
 
However, the Roewe RX5 dual clutch is still defective in the transmission, which is manifested in the throttle response is still very non-linear, and the mid-to-low speed stump is also very common, the first 1/4 of the throttle can not feel the change in power output, and the power can not be stabilized after stabilizing the throttle, there are great changes, and the situation of power stickiness is also more prominent, that is, there will be power output after loosening the throttle, and only after stepping on it deeply can it really run up, and it performs well in medium and high-speed road conditions.
 
The chassis of RX5 has a sense of stability that is rare in cars of the same level, but the tuning of the entire suspension is hard, and there are more aftershocks, and the performance on the road is better, but it is particularly bumpy when taking some bad roads, although the sound insulation is good, but the suspension action will be transmitted through the body and steering wheel, and the road noise is still relatively obvious.
 
In terms of interior, RX5 is considered a medium evaluation, manufacturers have been promoting RX5 interior is "the largest soft package in the same class", the red leather interior is slightly luxurious, but the center console is very simple, except for a large screen that looks like Tesla and S90, there are no other highlights. The Roewe RX5 multimedia system uses the YunOS system jointly developed by SAIC and Alibaba, and the car comes with a 4G network, which is easy to use, but all of them are controlled by touch, which may not be liked by everyone.
 
In this class, in fact, the rear space of each model is not too different, and the biggest difference is the comfort of the seats. The Roewe RX5 seat is as soft as a sofa, in addition to sitting spacious and comfortable, the rear row can also adjust the angle, and the adjustment range is also relatively large, and you can lie down and rest.
 
Although it has been made to feel like a luxury car, the configuration is the weakness of Roewe RX5, its manual transmission models all have no ESP, and the ten-inch central control screen is only available to the very high configuration model, from the perspective of cost performance, the configuration of Roewe RX5 is not competitive.
 
SAIC Roewe has had some models with a fairly high failure rate, but its failure rate is still not higher than the industry average, in the 2016 JD power (China) annual failure number survey, Roewe is 122 times, the industry average is 146 times. In 2015, it was 101 times, compared to the industry average of 108 times. In 2014, it was 108 times, compared to the industry average of 110 times.
 
In terms of safety, the RX5 participated in the fourth batch of C-NCAP crash tests in 2016 and received a five-star safety rating. The overall score was 56.2 points.
