Since SAIC Roewe released its third-generation RX5 official map, the car is also looking forward to it, just on April 27, the third-generation Roewe RX5 real car was also officially unveiled, but it is regrettable that this time there is still no interior. It is understood that the positioning of the third-generation Roewe RX5 is still a compact SUV, but the car has a lot of changes in appearance.
Background analysis
Roewe RX5 was first listed in 2016, the car at that time positioning is an Internet SUV, you know, in 2016, many models at the same price did not even have a central control screen, while Roewe RX5 has been equipped with the Internet in the car. Since then, the Roewe RX5 has undergone many iterations, and it has also continued the Internet gene of the Roewe RX5 family, and more importantly, the Roewe RX family has exceeded one million sales in 2020. The third-generation Roewe RX5, as a new replacement model, its performance is worth looking forward to.
It is understood that the appearance of the third-generation Roewe RX5 is designed by Lexus designers, so the overall appearance of the car has been significantly different from the current model on sale, but adopts a new water language, and the front face part adopts a large-size front grille design, somewhat similar to the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 Mach version. The overall appearance of the car is themed "Phoenix", and the front face X-shaped grille plus the penetrating headlights bring a rather stretched visual effect.
Coming to the side of the body, the third-generation Roewe RX5 has a strong sense of line, and the waist line is also very rich, and it is equipped with the current popular hidden door handle, which also brings a more concise visual effect in the case of reducing a certain wind resistance. It is worth mentioning that the third-generation Roewe RX5 has a black decoration from the front fender to the front door, somewhat similar to the Range Rover and seals, which can also bring a stronger sense of sport to the car.
In terms of size, the third-generation Roewe RX5 is 4655/1890/1655 (1664) mm in length, width and height, and the wheelbase is 2765 mm. From the size point of view, the size of the car in the same level belongs to the mainstream level, compared to the current model in the wheelbase of 57mm increase, close to two meters eight wheelbase also brings a good space in the car, I believe that in this regard, the third generation roewe RX5 will not let us down, but how to wait for the car to be officially listed to know.
At the rear of the car, the third-generation Roewe RX5 adopts a dual spoiler design, and its rear echoes with the front face, and also adopts a penetrating taillight group, while the two sides of the taillights are finished by the C-shaped design, plus a slightly raised rear shape and a bilateral double exhaust layout, bringing a good visual impact. However, I personally do not like the tail shape of the third-generation Roewe RX5, and I think this design will not cater to most consumers, but the appearance of this thing is still to be seen by the wise, depending on personal preferences.
In the power section, the third-generation Roewe RX5 will be equipped with a 1.5T engine code-named 15FDE, with a maximum output of 188 horsepower, matching the 7 is still a wet dual-clutch transmission. As for other news on the power side, it is still unknown, but in terms of the book parameters of this set of power, it also belongs to the mainstream level in the current 1.5T engine, and I believe that the overall dynamic performance is also worth looking forward to.
Editor's Comments:
From the currently known information, the design of the third-generation Roewe RX5 is still a little too strong feeling, after all, in its compact SUV market competition is very fierce, roughly divided into home and sports two different positioning of the SUV, the third generation roewe RX5 is not blindly partial sports, but its design will not cater to most of the pursuit of home consumers, so I personally still feel that the design of the third generation roewe RX5 is a little too strong. However, the specific performance after the listing depends on the performance of other aspects, especially in terms of ride and price. It is reported that the third generation of Roewe RX5 will be listed in the second quarter of this year, so it is still worth looking forward to.
