Tires on Roewe RX5 ePlus (Роеве)

The compact crossover Roewe RX5 ePlus was in the production range of the Chinese brand from 2020 to 2023. The model was part of the RX5 family of the second generation, differing from other representatives of the family by a hybrid power plant, and was intended exclusively for the domestic market of China. The car stood out for its equipment, which was extended by the addition of a large number of electronic systems. It differed from its "classmates" of other brands by a combination of a spacious salon for its dimensions, comfort in handling, and good equipment already in the "base" version.

Design differences

The crossover was almost indistinguishable from the petrol versions of the RX. Except for the front part, where a different radiator grille and LED headlights were used, as well as a bumper with a developed air intake system. Their presence is due to the need for effective cooling of the hybrid power plant components.

The decorative elements with blue accents, characteristic of the hybrid version, deserve special attention. They are used on emblems, in the design of the radiator grille, and some interior details, emphasizing the belonging to the electrified line.

Technical features

The key technical feature of the car was a hybrid installation with a charging function. Its basis was a 1.5-liter petrol turbo engine with a power of 169 hp and a torque of 250 Nm. It was supplemented by an electric motor, which brought the total output to 305 hp and 480 Nm. The traction battery is located under the floor, thanks to which the engineers were able to minimize the reduction of the trunk volume. The car can move exclusively on electric traction at urban speeds, which is especially in demand in megacities with emission restrictions and high fuel costs.

A 10-speed automated EDU gearbox of the second generation is used in the transmission. The design is distinguished by a high density of layout and relatively fast gear shifting. Unlike the variators popular with some "classmates", this solution provides reduced friction losses, allowing a significant reduction in energy consumption, both electric and liquid fuel. From a standstill to "hundred" ePlus accelerates in less than 8 seconds. Moreover, the nature of the acceleration is significantly different from that of conventional petrol crossovers. The electric motor provides an instant response to the accelerator pedal, so the traction is felt already at low speeds.

The suspension is focused on comfort. MacPherson struts are used at the front, and a multi-link scheme at the rear. The settings turned out to be softer than those of some sports-oriented competitors, but on bad roads, the car demonstrates a high level of smoothness.

"Digital" salon

The interior was created taking into account current trends. In the central part of the front console, there was a huge 14-inch tablet of the multimedia system, through which control of a significant part of the car's settings was carried out, using voice commands, giving the opportunity not to be distracted from the road. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is installed in front of the driver with several display modes. The interface is focused on demonstrating data on energy consumption, recuperation, and the operation of the electric part of the power plant.

Soft-touch plastics, contrasting stitching, and decorative elements with a metallic surface imitation were used in the trim. In the top versions, seats with electric adjustments, ventilation, and memory settings were used. The second row is distinguished by a flat floor, which makes it much more convenient to seat three passengers.

Already in the base version, a complex of electronic assistants was offered - adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system, automatic emergency braking, and all-around cameras. For the hybrid version, the manufacturer also provided intelligent energy distribution modes. The electronics itself determines when it is more efficient to use electric traction, and when to connect the petrol engine. This is especially noticeable when driving in dense urban traffic. The strong points of the salon also include the presence of a large amount of sound insulation, which effectively cuts off vibrations and noise.

Practicality in everyday use

Despite the presence of a hybrid power plant, the ePlus retained the universality of a family crossover. The high landing improved visibility, and the wide range of seat adjustments allows drivers of different heights to comfortably accommodate. The luggage compartment is distinguished by practically no protrusions and corners, along with a low loading height. The electric drive of the trunk lid was included in the list of equipment of most trim levels. The salon provides a large number of niches for storing small items, USB sockets, and wireless charging areas.

The strong points of the model also include the use of wheels with a relatively small diameter of 18 or 19 inches, as well as tires in the size of 235/45 and 235/50. The only specific feature of such products was the combination of low weight, high carrying capacity, and reduced rolling resistance. This should be taken into account when choosing them in the catalog of the "Mosavtoshina" online store.
