The future of the car belongs to electric vehicles, at least hybrid models. Such a recognition has become a common perception among users and even in the industry.
However, it is undeniable that in the current market environment, fuel vehicles still have a very high market share. For many users, fuel vehicles that can replenish energy anytime and anywhere and have relatively lower prices are still the first choice for their means of transportation.
However, the situation of market electrification transformation has made more and more car companies begin to freeze the research and development of engines and "indulge" in hybrid systems and pure electric platforms. However, there is now a car company that has come out in a high-profile way to announce that they have not given up on fuel vehicle users. They have built a brand new engine for users who need fuel vehicles. And this car company is SAIC Roewe.
This engine is the SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 1.5T supercharged direct injection engine that will be installed on the new third-generation Roewe RX5. This engine is built by SAIC Motor group on the basis of the previous generation of SAIC Blue Heart Power's 1.5T engine that won the top ten "Chinese heart", which will bring more economical, higher performance and smoother power to the third generation Roewe RX5.
So, how exactly does this engine achieve these advantages? At a time when electrification is gradually becoming the mainstream and fuel vehicles are gradually replaced, what can this engine bring to SAIC Roewe?
Horsepower rises to 188 horses, and fuel consumption is reduced by so much?
As we all know, as the most core model of SAIC Roewe RX5 has been using the top power system of SAIC Group, before the RX5 is equipped with the SAIC Blue Core Power 1.5T engine that has repeatedly won the "Heart of China" top ten engines, matching the DM21 automatic transmission that won the "World Top Ten Transmission" award, known as the double top ten engines, which has been widely recognized by users in terms of power performance and economy.
The SAIC Blue Core GS61 1.5T engine on the third-generation Roewe RX5 has once again undergone a comprehensive upgrade of power.
In terms of performance parameters, the maximum horsepower can reach 188 horses, and the maximum torque reaches 300N·m, which is the absolute best in the same displacement engine. This performance improvement was achieved thanks to the use of a 350 bar high-pressure fuel injection system and an electronically controlled variable-section turbocharger, which achieves fuel consumption for combustion.
Of course, for users at this level, they are not only concerned with performance, but also with fuel consumption. The COMBINATION OF THE SAIC BLUE CORE POWER GS61 1.5T ENGINE REDUCES THE FRICTION LOSS OF THE ENGINE BY 21% COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS GENERATION THROUGH THE COMBINATION OF ELECTRONIC WATER PUMP, FAST VVT, PENDULOID DUAL MASS FLYWHE, CONTINUOUS VARIABLE OIL PUMP, WATER COOLING INTERCOOLING SYSTEM, LOW TENSION TIMING TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, SHAFT JOURNAL SIZE OPTIMIZATION, FRICTION REDUCTION COATING AND OTHER TECHNICAL MEASURES.
The result is a 30% increase in the highest thermal efficiency of 40% and a 30% increase in the efficient operating area compared to the previous generation, reducing the fuel consumption of the NEDC working conditions of the third-generation Roewe RX5 to 6.0L/100km, and achieving the unity of fuel economy and performance improvement.
With the blessing of such an engine, the performance and economy of the third-generation Roewe RX5 have reached the leading level of the same level of fuel SUV, allowing fuel vehicle users to enjoy an efficient, energy-saving, smooth and convenient travel experience with a lower price threshold.
In addition, according to SAIC Roewe, the SAIC Blue Core Power GS61 1.5T engine also fully optimized the engine NVH and durability performance. Not only will the parts be built from world-class suppliers such as Bosch, BorgWarner, and MAHLE, but also at saic's Zhengzhou engine plant, which uses world-class engine manufacturing equipment and has a world-class level. It is believed that this will make the third-generation Roewe RX5's sense of premium and reliability go further, and meet the increasingly demanding car needs of mainstream users.
Product strength is fully advanced, can the "heroic" strength product force be hammered out?
As the core of the brand' new products, SAIC Roewe not only created a comprehensive upgrade of the "heart" for the third-generation Roewe RX5, but also comprehensively upgraded the vehicle to meet the current market quality user needs.
The third-generation Roewe RX5 comprehensively emphasizes luxury attributes, bringing users a more "arrogant" driving space. As a compact SUV, its wheelbase reached 2765mm, and the width of the car reached 1890mm, absolutely leading the class of models, to meet the needs of family users for space and comfort more advanced.
At the same time, the design language of the third-generation Roewe RX5 is fully advanced, and the huge spindle-shaped grille dominated by the "phoenix" design language in the front face presents the visual perception of the flow of life, with the popular through-the-day running lights and slender light group design, the design can present a sense of high-level than the current model.
The body adopts a double waistline design, which strengthens the muscle feeling of the rear wheels. The rear of the car also adopts a through-tail light that echoes the front face, and the addition of dual exhaust and tail wings also makes it appear younger and more athletic.
According to the news currently released, the third-generation Roewe RX5 has undergone a comprehensive evolution. However, the vague brand image of Roewe is difficult to become a boost to the success of the third-generation Roewe RX5. In addition, the intelligence that RX5 once emphasized has lagged behind in today's market environment, and the third-generation RX5 reactivates this label with an innovative intelligent experience, which is believed to be the expectation of many Roewe fans.
Summary: As a product positioned as an entry-level compact SUV, the third-generation Roewe RX5 has grasped the two major pain points of power and space of this level of model, and has carried out a comprehensive innovation of the product, which is believed to strengthen its competitiveness in the same level market.
In the case of everyone turning to hybrid products with higher price ranges, SAIC Roewe has created such a fuel vehicle with good quality in the price-sensitive entry-level compact SUV market, as long as its power performance and economy meet user expectations, fuel brings lower price thresholds may become its biggest selling point.
