"Full of gimmicks" or "Overall Evolution" —— Test Drive of ——SAIC Roewe RX5 MAX

Accompanied by our trip to Anji, it is the newly listed Zhilian hard-core medium-sized SUV——SAIC Roewe RX5 MAX!

First sight of RX5? MAX, which truly conforms to the label of "hardcore", has a brand-new design, which is both familiar and brand-new: Roewe originally introduced "tough" aesthetics on the basis of family-style design language-"rhythm", which is a brand-new interpretation of the classics.

"Stiff and meticulous" may be the best summary of the exterior design of Roewe RX5 MAX-it reflects the sense of strength that SUV models should have, but it does not lose the exquisiteness and delicacy that urban SUVs should have. There are several ridges on the hood, which not only reflects the sense of youth and strength of the whole vehicle, but also requires higher workmanship and cost.

Roewe in the new RX5? The aesthetics of "toughness" is introduced into MAX for the first time, and the overall appearance is much tougher, which also conforms to the label of "hard core". The front face pays attention to vertical penetration to avoid dynamic imbalance and has no top-heavy feeling. The visual feeling brought by the "suspended whale wing grille" is more impactful, and the front face of the whole vehicle has a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

Roewe RX5 MAX's LED matrix headlights adopt a design called "Xinghai Battleship". Daytime running lights and grille lines naturally blend, and the effect after lighting is also very scientific and technological. It is also worth mentioning that this set of LED headlights also adopts IHC intelligent headlight control system, which is more intelligent and safe. As for the specific effect, it will be mentioned later.

Smooth side lines, harmonious body proportion, silver luggage rack played a very good role in embellishment, sharp double waistline runs from headlights to taillights, semi-suspended design on C-pillar and moderate chrome trim make the side of the body more lively and vivid, and will not appear rigid or unchangeable. The design of 19 inch "Bigfoot" and ten "Fengyun Wheels" further highlights the sense of movement of the vehicle. Our top model adopts 235/45? R 19 Michelin PS4 tire! Although it is exclusive to the top model, we can still see Roewe's efforts to create a "leapfrog experience" regardless of cost!

The side of the vehicle is tough and elegant, which reflects the exquisite design in the atmosphere, the lines are stretched, the proportion is coordinated, and the visual effect conforms to the aesthetics of most consumers.

The double waistline is beautiful, and the silver trim above the side skirt makes the side of the car more lively.

The design of the narrow tail window improves the visual height of the rear, and the overall shape is very harmonious. Different from the "rigid" feeling of the front face, the rear of the car outlines the exquisiteness of the whole car with a smoother curve. In addition, "bilateral double output" is not a real product, but a real "window" for both sides ~

All-LED taillights are lively in shape, and the arrangement of light groups is very design-oriented. In addition, because it is a top-mounted version, AWD's nameplate indicates that it is a four-wheel drive vehicle.

Exquisite and Practical Coexistence —— Interior Decoration and Space Design

The first impression of the whole interior of Roewe RX5 MAX is "simple and stretching". In addition to the eye-catching vertical 14.3-inch car screen, the center console part pays more attention to the horizontal expansion of vision in design. The penetrating horizontal air outlet and decorative strip, together with the collocation of lines and different materials and colors, test the design skill and finally show a very good effect!

The three-position multifunctional leather steering wheel is sporty and feels excellent. The layout of multi-function buttons is reasonable, and common functions can be operated without leaving the steering wheel. In addition, Roewe also launched a brand-new letter logo on the steering wheel, which looks more harmonious.

Roewe RX5 MAX adds shift paddles, which adds some driving pleasure. Although most people may seldom use it, it is better than nothing.

The main driver's seat supports 6-way electric adjustment, so you can quickly find a sitting position that suits you, regardless of your figure. In addition, the cushion is longer, and the front section is upturned, which supports the thigh part well and is not easy to get tired after long-distance driving.

Roewe RX5? MAX's seat is called "zero pressure luxury seat". From the angle of the headrest, the softness of the seat to the support of all parts of the body, the ergonomic design is fully considered, and the ride experience really needs praise; The application of perforated calf leather further enhances the grade sense of vehicle interior.

The lighted cosmetic mirrors of drivers and passengers are the favorite of girls. In addition, it can be seen that the front head space of Roewe RX5 MAX is very abundant.

Four-door one-button lifting, three groups of seat memory and other functions are readily available. In addition, we can see that the Roewe RX5 MAX works very well, and there is really nothing to blame in terms of wiring, assembly accuracy and bonding between different materials. Exquisite workmanship makes the sense of luxury come up at once.

The space under the suspended center console has been used as a large storage compartment for throwing wallets and other things. At the same time, it also provides a 12V power supply and two USB interfaces, which can meet the charging requirements of various electronic devices. However, I have been used to wireless charging with Roewe RX5 MAX these days, so the utilization rate here is not high.

The wireless charging mentioned above is hidden in the storage compartment behind the cup holder. There are many vehicles equipped with wireless charging now, but it seems that it is the first time for me to see the Roewe RX5 MAX vertical wireless charging carriage-not only saving space, but also a B carriage. Easy to use and carry, good compatibility. All mobile phones that meet the Qi standard can be used, and it is no problem to charge with the chassis ~

Electronic handbrake, AUTOHOLD and other functions are all standard. Because our model is equipped with a four-wheel drive version, there is a manual locking button in the function area. This AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system can not only automatically distribute the front and rear power according to the road conditions, but also further improve the passing ability of vehicles through manual locking.

The electronic gear lever is exquisitely shaped, although it looks a bit "deja vu", but in general, it not only highlights the grade but also has a sense of technology;

In addition, when driving, I am usually used to holding my right hand on the gear lever. The gear lever design of Roewe RX5 MAX can naturally put my elbow on the armrest box, and my palm can naturally rest on the gear lever at a comfortable angle. Don't underestimate such a small design, which is actually the embodiment of humanity.

Proper design of the interior atmosphere lamp can set off the interior atmosphere and play a good role in embellishment, and there is no situation of "usurping the role of the owner"

The brightness of LED strip is very uniform, which looks very classy. At the same time, there are as many as 256 colors to choose from, which can fully meet your customized and personalized needs. You can also give it to the vehicle if you are too lazy to set it yourself. In addition, you can set to automatically switch colors and rhythms according to music.

The spacious central armrest allows the main driver and the co-driver not to interfere with each other, and the driving experience is better.

The co-pilot maintained the same excellent riding experience as the main driver, but the adjustment mode changed to 4-way electric adjustment.

Roewe RX5 MAX is equipped with a panoramic skylight called "I-MAX Giant Screen Class". The slogan sounds a bit exaggerated, but it is really large, covering almost the whole roof, and the openable area is not small, accounting for more than half. No matter the demand of ventilation or lighting, it can be well met.

Thanks to the wheelbase of 2760mm, Roewe RX5 MAX has plenty of rear seat space, which makes it outstanding in its class.

Normal sitting posture, crossing your legs is really nothing ~ The rear seats continue the excellent comfort of the front seats, with thick cushions and moderate hardness.

The central headrest in the back row is not absent, which ensures the safety of every passenger in the back row.

In addition, the backrest of the rear seat also supports 3-level angle adjustment, so that you can rest half-recumbent during long-distance travel, which greatly improves the riding experience of the rear passengers.

The central armrest in the back row supports the arm well, and the soft leather makes the ride feel good; The design of the hidden cup holder has a good damping feeling when it is opened, which is very classy. Drinks can be stably placed in the cup holder, and the position is also very convenient, so it is very convenient to take up. In addition, there is a large storage compartment on the central armrest, which is convenient for passengers in the back row to put some odds and ends.

It is worth mentioning that the projection of the rear center floor is very small, about 5 cm. Even if the back row is full, the passenger sitting in the middle will not feel wronged.

In addition, the appearance of air outlet of rear air conditioner, air purifier and dual USB interface shows that Roewe RX5 MAX still takes care of rear passengers.

Roewe RX5 MAX tailgate not only has electric opening and closing function (adjustable opening height and anti-pinch function), but also has the popular induction opening mode, which is really practical for holding things with both hands.

The trunk space is very practical, with considerable volume, sufficient width and depth, especially the height. Visually, it is not a problem to put down four suitcases over 26 inches, which is more than enough to meet the needs of a family for long-distance travel. In addition, the rear seats support a 4: 6 ratio and the loading space is more flexible.

If there is a fly in the ointment in the trunk space of Roewe RX5 MAX, it is that the lower edge of the trunk opening is slightly higher than the ground, and it may be a bit difficult to carry large items.

Generally speaking, the trunk space of Roewe RX5 MAX is absolutely excellent in its class.

Rich technology configuration, of course, the most noteworthy is "the world's first intelligent cockpit"

The car navigation uses the "Gaode Map", which is not much different from the mobile version. Very easy to use, real-time road conditions and route planning. In addition, Roewe RX5 MAX is also equipped with a PM2.5 air purifier in the car. The vehicle will automatically turn on or off according to the road conditions, which is very intelligent. When the exhaust gas gathers in the congested road section, the vehicle will automatically start air optimization to ensure the air quality inside the vehicle.

The driving recorder comes with the original car, which saves the cost of later installation and the trouble of wiring, and can also be played back on the big screen in the car, which is very convenient; Interestingly, there is also a camera above the rearview mirror facing the driver. As for the use, let's sell it first ~

12.3 inch full LCD instrument panel with high resolution, delicate colors, more information and content to be displayed, reasonable layout and easy reading. Personally, I prefer to display the navigation information in the center without distracting myself from watching the central control screen.

Think it's not intuitive to display a plane map? Then try Roewe RX5 MAX's AR real-life navigation. The LCD dashboard will directly display the contents shot by the camera in front of the vehicle, and superimpose the route indication information on it. This set of AR real-life navigation is especially suitable for cities, so you don't have to worry about the wrong intersection anymore! In addition, zebra crossings and pedestrians will be highlighted to avoid accidents. Innovative thinking is great, and the actual experience is good.

People are always getting lazier and lazier ... Although it is easy to stop driving Roewe RX5 MAX with the help of reversing images, radar and 360-degree panoramic display system, when I found Roewe RX5? MAX is equipped with APA automatic parking system, and also supports horizontal and vertical parking spaces. Basically, he doesn't have manual parking anymore ~ for automatic parking, the old driver naturally doesn't need it, but the configuration is better.

It is found that there are warning lights beside the door handles of drivers and passengers, which are not easy to be seen by other vehicles. After research, it is found to be "Dow's early warning system for opening the door"-when you are ready to open the door, if a car comes from behind, this light will flash quickly to remind you to pay attention to opening the door! You know how many traffic accidents are caused by such carelessness! There is also an indicator light on the B-pillar in the back seat. Finally, the driver doesn't have to remind passengers to be careful when opening the door ~

As mentioned above, Roewe RX5 MAX's matrix full LED headlights have good lighting effect at night, with long distance, positive color, sufficient brightness, clear tangent and curve lighting assistance. In addition, the IHC intelligent headlight control system can automatically turn on or off the headlights, and can also automatically switch between far and near lights, thus saving the trouble of changing lights, especially when driving on such a mountain road with insufficient light at night, which is more worry-free and safer.

The customized 9-speaker BOSE sound system equipped in this car is very gratifying and belongs to the excellent level in its class. Nine speakers make the low, middle and high frequencies evenly distributed without interference. The overall sound quality maintains the consistent characteristics of BOSE, with large sound field and good sense of presence, which is very suitable for pop and electronic music. With the excellent sound insulation effect of the whole vehicle (double-layer sound insulation glass, using sound insulation mats everywhere), the multimedia experience of Roewe RX5 MAX is quite excellent.

In terms of multimedia content, relying on AliOS system, Roewe RX5 MAX provides a complete set of multimedia solutions. With the blessing of in-vehicle 4G network, online multimedia resources are very rich, and you can record your own music preferences and make recommendations, which saves the trouble of mobile phone connection and the waste of mobile phone traffic.

Listening is not enough? Then try singing yourself! If the journey is long, you might as well turn the vehicle into a mobile KTV ~ but it would be better if you could equip the vehicle with two microphones ~

Remember what I said about the camera facing the car? Now the answer can be revealed-this time the Roewe RX5 MAX is equipped with the "Eye of the Sky System", and the main function of this camera is face recognition!

The operation of face recognition and registration is especially selected when it is dark and the light in the car is dim. In this way, the face entry work of the whole system is still very fast, and the registration speed is also very fast.

After the registration is completed, you can "brush your face" to log in. If the privacy protection function is turned on in the car settings, when the car detects that you are not driving by yourself, the address book, playback and navigation records will not be displayed, which protects the privacy of the owner!

Relying on the 4G network, Roewe RX5 MAX once again strengthened social attributes. The built-in "car letter" function can easily contact riders. The introduction of functions such as team travel, real-time intercom and one-click car pick-up provides great convenience for daily driving, and it is more convenient to travel with riders.

Very intimate "BYOD multi-user random control" function, as long as the hot spots in the car are connected, all passengers can easily control the multimedia playback, air conditioning and other functions in the car through their mobile phones, and there is no need to ask the driver to cut songs! It not only gives passengers autonomy, but also avoids the hidden dangers caused by distracting drivers when driving. Roewe seriously considered the "pain points" that car owners may encounter in the process of using the car, and gave a solution.

With the mobile APP, you can easily manage all authorized accounts on the owner's account. Especially for users in China, it is common for many people to drive. Then each driver can log in to the car through different accounts (just brush his face directly), which can meet everyone's different personalized needs and do not interfere with each other. The introduction of Internet thinking such as "multi-user" is the improvement of user experience.

It suddenly occurred to me that I was going to Hello the next day? Kitty theme park, quick voice reminder to buy tickets, through the "flash assistant" settings. After all, it is near the peak season, and it will be in trouble if the tickets are sold out. Especially for a careless person like me who often forgets things, it is very practical to set reminders conveniently and safely during driving, which saves the trouble of using memos with mobile phones.

In addition to setting up to-do items and realizing synchronous reminders between the car and the mobile phone, since it is called "flash assistant", you can also record your thoughts and inspirations when driving through voice, so that the inspiration can accompany you and not miss every thought beat.

The "Journey" function in the main menu, at first glance, is for go on road trip.

After opening, relying on GPS positioning, you can automatically find nearby attractions or routes and recommend them. Of course, you can also choose the destination manually.

After opening the road book, you can add it to the itinerary with one click, and the related attractions can also be booked directly, which is very convenient! For travel enthusiasts like us who often travel by car, it is really convenient to plan the trip on the big screen of the car and navigate directly to the destination.

At 9 o'clock the next morning, I received a reminder from the flash payment assistant as scheduled. The notice will be sent directly to the mobile phone through the "SAIC Roewe" APP to remind you not to forget the recorded content.

Through the "SAIC Roewe" APP, most functions of Roewe RX5 MAX can be easily controlled on the mobile phone through this APP, such as remote starting, unlocking and locking, air conditioning control, and checking vehicle status. Of course, if Lao Wu drives during the trip, I usually use the function of mind control. I don't have to discuss with him what songs I want to listen to, haha ~

Top students in the same class-motivation and dynamic performance

Roewe RX5 MAX is powered by this 2.0T new generation SAIC "Blue Core" 400TGI high-power engine with maximum power 170kW and maximum torque of 370Nm. At the same time, it has advanced technologies such as in-cylinder direct injection, integrated exhaust manifold and DVVT, which is the leading level in the industry.

It is under the leadership of this engine that Roewe RX5 MAX successfully pulled a 36-ton Boeing 737 in the challenge and successfully towed a large aircraft with a weight of almost 2 1 times for 40 meters, thus becoming the first self-owned brand model to complete the challenge!

Under urban road conditions, the driving experience of Roewe RX5 MAX is still very good, and the throttle and brakes are very linear and easy to use; Although the body is not small, the control is very flexible, and the lane change and merging are very light, and there is no feeling of sloppiness; 2.0TGI in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine with TST? 6-speed wet dual clutch gearbox, I don't have to worry about driving this power combination every day. In addition, I am a little surprised that Roewe has trained this 6-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox very well, with good riding comfort and tight power connection, and I can hardly feel the frustration of shifting gears when driving on urban roads.

In addition, Roewe RX5 MAX is equipped with a series of active intelligent safety assistance systems suitable for urban roads, including AEB automatic emergency braking, FCW frontal collision warning, TJA traffic congestion assistance, etc. Even if you dial the ACC cruise lever twice, you can turn on the automatic queuing function, which is perfect for such a stop-and-go road section. It is safe and worry-free, and it is really much easier to drive in congested road conditions.

Under high-speed road conditions, high-speed cruise has become a very easy thing with a series of high-tech configurations such as ACC full-speed adaptive cruise, AEB automatic emergency braking, FCW frontal collision warning, LKA lane centering, LDW lane departure warning, ICA high-speed intelligent cruise, SAS intelligent speed assistance, etc. This is the level of semi-automatic driving. However, even if driving feels comfortable, don't be distracted or tired.

Safety auxiliary systems such as blind spot detection can list a long list on the configuration list of Roewe RX5 MAX. After all, Roewe RX5? MAX is equipped with L2+ AI? Pilot intelligent driver assistance system, such active safety configuration is rare in this class of vehicles. It can be seen that SAIC Roewe attaches importance to the active safety driver assistance system, which also makes the owner feel much safer in daily driving.

In addition, Roewe RX5 MAX has four driving modes to choose from. In the most commonly used comfort mode, the suspension, steering and dynamic performance of the vehicle will be close to the comfort direction, especially the suspension performance, full vibration filtering and small bounce, which is very suitable for long-distance self-driving; Custom mode can set various parameters according to your driving habits to meet your driving needs.

In sports mode, the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard of the vehicle will also turn into vibrant orange, trying to stimulate your "fighting desire", and the dynamic response of the vehicle will directly become the most positive state. Compared with other modes, the power is indeed more sensitive.

Summary: Roewe RX5MAX-sincere and competitive.

Roewe RX5? MAX, as the world's first mass-produced intelligent cockpit model, left a deep impression on me with its rich and practical intelligent functions. In order to solve the various pain points of users' daily car use, Roewe made its own efforts and handed over a satisfactory answer sheet-the application of cutting-edge technology, the practical function of "grounding gas" and excellent interface interaction, which finally brought a good user experience. In addition, Roewe RX5? MAX's abundant power, excellent design, exquisite workmanship, spacious driving space and excellent cost performance provide a highly competitive all-round SUV for this class.
