My wife and I are looking at cars recently. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this Roewe i5 car?

You said it was a coincidence. I just saw a problem. A lady said that her husband wanted to buy the Roewe i5 and wanted to ask everyone if this car was worth starting with. Then when I saw this question, I boldly guessed whether you were lovers or not. Haha, just kidding.

The overall performance of the Roewe i5 car is quite satisfactory, without too many bright spots and obvious shortcomings, and it belongs to the upper-middle level among many domestic cars. The price is in the range of 65438+ 10,000 yuan, but most areas have discounts of more than 65438+ 10,000 yuan, which is relatively cost-effective.

1. External internal

Roewe i5 continues its own design language in appearance and interior, but because Roewe belongs to SAIC brand, it covers a lot of public shadows in design, especially the interior, which incorporates the elements of sagitar and golf of the previous generation, which is quite eye-catching.

Step 2 configure

Roewe's configuration is relatively high, tire pressure monitoring, multimedia influence, ABS, ESP, one-button start, keyless entry, also belong to the domestic mainstream level.

3. Space

The i5 space performed well, and it was a small bright spot. The i5 has a wheelbase of 2680mm and a width of 18 18mm, which is more than enough for both front and rear longitudinal space and horizontal space, so there is no need to worry about space at all.

4. Powertrain

Although Roewe borrowed many designs from Volkswagen, the powertrain was not really delivered by Volkswagen.

Roewe i5 engines are divided into 1.5L and1.5t. The former is equipped with a manual gearbox (MT) and a continuously variable gearbox (CVT), while the latter is a self-developed dual clutch (7DCT) gearbox.

1.5L self-priming engine has good overall parameters, but it is a bit weak with two gearboxes. It's easy to say if you choose MT, but the power is not enough if you choose CVT gearbox.

The power output of 1.5T turbine head is strong, but the 7DCT shift logic independently developed by Roewe is not clear, and the power transmission performance can only be said to be average. It seems that the semi-clutch time is deliberately extended in pursuit of smooth shifting, which leads to smooth shifting but poor power connection. The most important thing is that the low speed state is still obvious.

5. Noise and comfort

The i5 is an entry-level car (or a low-end car). No matter whether it is domestic or joint venture, the noise control of entry-level cars is not intentional. After the speed comes up, the wind noise and tire noise are obvious, but they are all within the acceptable range.

Comfort cannot be defined. After all, people have different definitions of comfort. Comfort has a lot to do with the chassis. Roewe i5 mainstream front McPherson rear torsion beam structure, suspension integrity is good, but the adjustment is hard. If it is only enough to walk in the urban area, if the road is often bumpy, then the road information feedback is very direct.

6. Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption is the most concerned factor for most car owners. Now the state advocates energy conservation and emission reduction. Compared with the old 550, the i5 has made great progress in fuel consumption. The fuel consumption in the early stage can basically be maintained at around 7L, which is considered excellent in the same level.

I5 can't escape the curse of most domestic cars, and the fuel consumption will increase with time. Of course, how much fuel consumption will increase depends on driving habits and maintenance. After all, driving habits have the greatest impact on fuel consumption.

Conclusion:

Overall, the Roewe i5 is quite cost-effective. You can buy it if you like. However, if the budget is sufficient, you can consider Volkswagen LaVida Rowing 1.5L+6AT, or Buick Hideo 1.5L+6AT. These two cars can basically be won for 80-90 thousand yuan. If the budget is only 60,000 to 70,000, the domestic cars at this price basically belong to the same level. For example, Geely Emgrand and Chery Arrizo 5 are also good, depending on personal preferences.
