On the name of the independent compact SUV, the most mentioned is the Haval H6, Changan CS75PLUS, etc., which have been at the top of the compact SUV sales list for many years, but in addition to the above two models, I believe that the RX5 from the Roewe brand can also appear in the list of compact models that we are familiar with.
After all, in the early years, the Roewe RX5 entered the market with the name of the "world's first Internet car" with a very forward-looking future, and the monthly sales of more than 20,000 have become the norm, which can be equal to haval H6, Changan CS75PLUS and other models to break the wrist, and it is not too much to mention its name.
However, with the upgrading of market consumption and the update and iteration of competitors at the same level, the roewe RX5 product strength has become more and more weak, and it has also been pulled away in terms of sales volume and gradually lagged behind. But as a blockbuster product of the Roewe brand, how can it be easily left behind, this third-generation Roewe RX5 is not coming.
The new generation of Roewe RX5 will be scheduled to open in April at the Beijing Auto Show officially unveiled, although there is no "real appearance", but combined with the previous information and the current release of official pictures can still understand its product power in advance.
For the new generation of models, the overall styling of the Roewe RX5 will certainly make earth-shaking changes.
From the official picture, it can be seen that the new generation of Roewe RX5 adopts the popular large-size spindle grille, which is embellished with the elements of the star flare dragon scales, and then equipped with a matrix LED light group connected by a through-type lamp belt, compared to the current model, the sense of fashion will come up.
It is worth mentioning that the Roewe brand LOGO has been moved from the central network to the front of the engine cover, so the visual integration of the entire central network will be stronger. But then again, is this front face a source of acquaintance with Lexus brand models?
The side design is full, the waistline is rich, and the use of hidden door handles, double five-spoke wheel shape and duckling tail wing and other fashion elements. In addition, the colored luggage rack provides versatility while also increasing the layering of the car's lines.
In terms of size, the new generation of Roewe RX5 is 4655/1890/1655 (1664) mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2765 mm, which is higher than the current model in lateral and longitudinal dimensions, which can better compete with the same level of Haval H6.
The rear of the car adopts a through-type tail light group, and is finished in a C shape on both sides, with the Roewe brand LOGO above and the exhaust layout of the two sides below, and the visual layering is prominent.

The interior is still unknown, but as the originator of an "Internet car", I believe that the large-screen, multi-screen, and car networking systems will be assembled one by one, and it will appear in a very "stunning" style.
In terms of core power, the new generation of Roewe RX5 will continue to be equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, the maximum horsepower of 188Ps, matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and the power performance is among the best in the same displacement model.
It is an indisputable fact that the current Roewe RX5, which is gradually weakened by product strength, is not as good as competitors such as Haval H6 and Changan CS75, and this may also be the reason for the arrival of a new generation of Roewe RX5.
(3rd Generation Haval H6)
However, combined with the information currently given. In addition to the new appearance of the roewe RX5, the new generation of Roewe RX5 has not shown too many advantages in addition to the increased body size.
(2nd Generation Changan CS75PLUS)
Moreover, in the most core power level, the new generation of Roewe RX5 is still equipped with a 1.5T engine as usual, and its competitiveness is much weaker. You know, in the same level of competitors, some of the same level of competitors have long been downgraded 2.0T version of the engine, hindered by the higher price, may not be used as a running volume, but can provide consumers with a variety of choices is better than nothing.
The professor can guess that the advantages of the new generation of Roewe RX5 may be limited to the intelligent experience and price level, after all, when the product power does not have much advantage, it will use the price to make up. As for the subsequent pricing, you can roughly refer to the current model (93,300-139,800).
Even if the new roewe RX5 does not show a very bright advantage over the head competitors, it is not denied that it can still pick up the beam in the segment of compact SUVs.
First of all, this very personalized, fashionable shape can capture a large number of young consumer groups, and secondly, the leading interconnection system at the same level also adds a lot of points, and then the combination may be less than 100,000 starting price, which is obviously very attractive.
Finally, here we may also look forward to whether the new generation of Roewe RX5 will bring us greater (including price, product strength) surprises.
