In the face of increasingly picky consumer requirements, for car companies, in addition to accelerating the replacement of models on sale, launching more new products is also a good strategic way. Saic Motor Roewe, as a member of its own brand, will also bring three products this year, including a new replacement model and two new SUV models, namely the Roewe RX5, roewe RX9 and Roewe Whale. Recently, the declaration map of SAIC Roewe RX9 has been exposed, and the new car positioning medium and large SUV will become the latest flagship SUV of the Roewe brand, which is expected to be officially unveiled in the second half of this year.
In terms of appearance, the new car is not the same as the model currently on sale in the family, but adopts a new design language. The front face draws on the elements of the Roewe whale, the inverted trapezoidal large-size intake grille, the inside of the grille is embellished with honeycomb shape, the two sides are equipped with air intake decoration, the headlight group and the intake grille are cleverly connected, so that the entire front face looks very impactful, the overall visual effect is still quite in place, I believe this is also the common design style of the Roewe family model after that.
On the side of the body, the new car adopts a roof design with a floating effect. The D-pillar of the new car has a large forward tilt, and the bottom of the rear end of the window is undulating. There is also a chrome decoration in the style of the flag at the bottom, which is very symbolic. The design of the rear of the car is very full, and with sharp lines, it brings a strong sense of power. The large through-the-top taillights are even more impressive while improving the recognition of the rear. There is also a chrome trim exhaust port, which adds a touch of refinement to the rear. In addition, the new car can be equipped with different styles of contours, headlights, tail signs, front and rear parking radar and exterior mirrors, etc., which is very user-friendly.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4983/1967/1786mm, and the wheelbase is 2915mm, and the actual riding space is worth looking forward to, especially the third row space. At the same time, as a flagship SUV, this size is at the leading level in its class.
In terms of power, from the perspective of the declaration information, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 172kW, the maximum torque is 360N·m, and the data of this engine is still good from the parameters, which is the first product of SAIC's "Blue Core II" platform. The drivetrain is expected to match the Aisin 8AT transmission, and will be available in both front-drive and four-wheel drive models to meet the needs of consumers with different needs.
AutoMotive Network Review:
I have to say that with SAIC Group to do technical endorsement, the current Roewe brand's product strength is not bad, its Roewe RX5 and Roewe i5 two cars, often can achieve excellent results of monthly sales of more than 10,000. In order to expand the product camp, this time to bring Roewe RX9, Roewe brand product strength is bound to be further improved, let's wait and see.
