The annual production capacity is 300,000 advanced automated factories, and one engine is rolled off the production line every minute
The "strong heart" of the new third-generation Roewe RX5 comes from the first phase of SAIC's Zhengzhou engine plant with a total investment of 1.476 billion yuan. In the production workshop of nearly 40,000 square meters, it is full of digital, intelligent and automated assembly lines, and an engine can be rolled off the production line every minute or more, which can achieve an annual production capacity of 300,000 units.

The entire SAIC Zhengzhou engine factory covers the engine block, cylinder head, crankshaft machining line and engine assembly line four automated production lines, the use of world-class engine manufacturing equipment, strong flexibility, high precision, fast speed, with the production of completely independent intellectual property rights, to achieve the world's first-class level of the strength, as the first product put into operation by the plant, SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 is expected to become another "masterpiece". Backed by an industry-leading engine factory, the new third-generation Roewe RX5 also boasts high-quality power under the impactful shape.
Excellent performance 188 horsepower, 300 Nm maximum torque, "top ten" and upgraded ultimate performance
The SAIC Blue Core Power 1.5T engine used in the Roewe RX5 series has repeatedly won the "'China Heart' Top Ten Engines" award, and the DM21 automatic transmission has also won the "World's Top Ten Transmissions" award. While being recognized by the "Double Ten Best" industry authority, the power matching of the Roewe RX5 series has also received wide praise from users and high praise from the market, and will be perfectly inherited on the new third-generation Roewe RX5, which will surely live up to high expectations.

The SAIC Blue Core GS61 1.5T engine equipped with the new roewe RX5 not only inherits the excellent genes of the 'China Heart' Top Ten Engines, but also comprehensively upgrades from five aspects, such as combustion optimization, gas exchange, thermal management, friction reduction and NVH, to create a leading hard core strength of the same level.
THE SAIC BLUE-CORE POWERED GS61 1.5T ENGINE ADOPTS A NEW GENERATION OF SGCS COMBUSTION SYSTEM, COMBINED WITH A 350BAR HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM AND AN ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED VARIABLE-SECTION TURBOCHARGER, EMITS A MAXIMUM TORQUE OF 300 NM AND ACHIEVES 188 HP.
Through the combination of electronic water pump, Fast VVT, pendulum dual mass flywheel, continuous variable oil pump and water-cooled intercooling system, low tension timing transmission system, and shaft journal size optimization, friction reduction coating and other technical measures, the friction loss is reduced by 21% compared with the previous generation, while the maximum thermal efficiency is increased to 40%, and the efficient operation area of the complete power system is increased by 30% compared with the previous generation.
The new third-generation Roewe RX5 consumes only 6.0L/100km (NEDC), and the ultra-low fuel consumption also makes consumers eat "reassurance pills".

The powerful power output is inseparable from the assistance of accurate software strategy. SAIC Lanxin Power GS61 1.5T engine is equipped with high and low temperature dual circulation cooling system, electronic water pump and double thermostat and other thermal management technologies, supplemented by intelligent software control strategies, covering the thermal management needs of various driving scenarios. This "black technology" not only significantly improves cold-start emissions and warm-up rates, but also leads to better fuel economy.
In terms of NVH optimization, the global engineering team of SAIC Blue core power GS61 1.5T engine has also made great efforts. Through the reinforcement of the engine body structure and the lightweight design of the crank linkage mechanism, as well as the application of acoustic wrapping in key parts such as timing cover and fuel system, supplemented by finer calibration optimization, the acoustic power level idle noise has reached the international leading level.
At the same time, SAIC Blue Core Power has always paid attention to the polishing of durability and reliability. SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 1.5T has undergone more than 60 special tests, accumulated more than 55,000 hours of bench testing, and completed nearly 5 million kilometers of vehicle testing under various complex climatic conditions, and its reliable quality can withstand extreme tests.
Bosch, Wei pan, BorgWarner, MAHLE, Schaeffler, Tiannack, Valeo, Eaton and other world-class parts suppliers with the blessing of the world's leading technology, further enhance the product strength of SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 1.5T engine, casting rock-solid quality.

As the source of the power of the new third-generation Roewe RX5, the SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 1.5T engine has been upgraded in five dimensions, bringing comprehensive and advanced hard power, continuing the extreme power, economic and environmental protection, quiet comfort and rock quality product characteristics of SAIC Blue Core Power products, ranking among the world's first-class level, and is another masterpiece of the top ten engines of SAIC Blue Core Power "China Heart".
1890mm of the widest body of the class, "luxurious" design shows the luxury of the level
In addition to the "strong heart" of SAIC Blue Core Power GS61, the new third-generation Roewe RX5 also has a maximum wheelbase of 2765mm, the widest body of the same class of 1890mm, and the shape design is more ingenious. The majestic scientific and technological shape and the "picturesque" artistic details have comprehensively upgraded the overall look and feel, so that consumers can "feel the full sense of luxury across the screen".
