The exterior design of the Roewe i5 continues the Roewe family design language of digital rhythm, making the whole vehicle more fashionable and elegant. The Rongscale grille on the front face has also become one of the most distinctive features of Roewe models. In addition, there is also the i5 GT model. The front grille presents a Z-shaped visual effect, which is more impactful than the regular model.
The headlights are more slender in shape and combined with the front face stretch the visual width. Moreover, all the headlights of the Roewe i5 series use LED light sources. In addition, automatic headlights, adjustable headlight height and delayed headlight shut-off are all standard features.
Roewe i5 adopts a double waistline design on the side of the body, making the body look more slender. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Roewe i5 are 4607/1818/1489mm, and the wheelbase is 2680mm. Compared with models of the same level, the Roewe i5 has certain advantages in body size.
The rear design of the Roewe i5 is quite satisfactory, but there is still a through-type chrome trim strip connecting the left and right taillights, giving the rear of the car a more integrated feel.
The interior design of the Roewe i5 also conveys a young and fashionable feeling. The layers are clear and the overall color is more lively. This is also the current design idea of the Roewe family. The Roewe i5 uses a 10.25-inch floating touch screen and also uses the Zebra VENUS system. Not only is the system smoother, but the UI design is also more beautiful. In addition, the Roewe i5 also integrates functions such as Internet of Vehicles, 4G, OTA upgrades, and WIFI hotspots. The technology configuration in the car is quite rich.
In terms of seats, the Roewe i5 is wrapped in leather. The seat cushions and backrests can fit the human body very well, and the wrapping and comfort are guaranteed to a certain extent. The main driver of mid-to-high-end models also has electric adjustment and manual lumbar support, which can meet the driver's comfort needs.

If we want to choose the most suitable model configuration of this Roewe i5, we should first analyze it from the power system. The Roewe i5 currently has 3 different power systems, namely 1.5L+5MT, 1.5L+ CVT and GT versions of 1.5T+7DCT. The biggest advantage of having 3 sets of power systems is that it can meet the needs of more consumers for power. The power system I most recommend is the 1.5L+CVT in the middle. Roewe's 1.5L engine has a maximum power of 88kW and a maximum torque of 150N·m. Although the power is not strong, it is more than enough for daily driving.

As the top model of the entire series, the 1.5T DCT Lightspeed Edition is 10,000 yuan more expensive than the 1.5L CVT Xingyao Edition. The biggest upgrade is of course the power system. The 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 127kW and a maximum torque of 127kW. 275N·m, the overall power level is much stronger than that of the 1.5L engine.

In addition, front seat heating and passenger electric adjustment are also unique features of the 1.5T DCT Lightspeed Edition series..

They are also the only models in the entire series equipped with L2-level assisted driving functions. In fact, the overall configuration level of the 1.5T DCT Lightspeed Edition is quite good. In terms of power level and rich configuration, it has been improved to a certain extent compared to the 1.5L CVT Star Edition.
