Roewe RX5 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2016–2022) — First Generation
The first-generation Roewe RX5 is a compact five-door SUV built for family duty, pairing a roomy cabin with modest turbocharged petrol power and front-wheel drive across its range.
Each Roewe RX5 engine here is a 1.5-litre petrol unit driving the front wheels, which keeps running costs and weight down. The 1.5 MT uses a manual gearbox for direct, low-cost control, while the 1.5 DCT swaps in a robotic dual-clutch transmission that shifts itself and suits stop-start city traffic. Other powertrain combinations were also offered.
