The Roewe 550, through its use of technology, can offer drivers and passengers a particularly comfortable journey. The expandable RMI (Roewe Multimedia Interface) Digital Multimedia Interaction System adopts an integrated embedded design that consolidates vehicle status, information exchange systems, GPS functions, making it both practical and enabling multifunctional audio-visual entertainment. The Dual-Bus Digital Intelligent Driving Assistant System achieves more precise integrated control. The advanced serial dual-bus electronic structure reduces the number of vehicle wiring harnesses, greatly enhancing the reliability of information transmission on one hand, while significantly reducing the failure rate of electrical systems on the other, bringing a new concept of dynamic stable driving and truly reaching the realm of harmony between man and machine. Drivers and passengers can experience the charm of digital technology across generations and enjoy unprecedented driving pleasure.
Due to its lineage, the appearance of the Roewe 550 continues to adopt the classic European design style. The entire body is full, steady, yet not without innovation. The 1.8T DVVT engine makes the 550 more sporty compared to the 350, especially with a wheelbase of 2705mm, which gives the Roewe 550 the capital to look down on its peers. The Roewe 550 offers discounts of up to 20,000 yuan, which is quite cost-effective. The Expo Fashion Edition MT comes with floor mats, aluminum alloy rims, sun film, and front grille.
The length of the Roewe 550 is close to that of a B-class car, and the 2705mm wheelbase is the limit for domestic mid-range cars. The width reaches 1827mm, exceeding almost all competitors in its class. The internal space of the Roewe 550 is very spacious, especially in the rear seats where the legroom fully justifies the 2705mm wheelbase.
In terms of power, the Roewe 550 1.8T is equipped with the latest Kavachi 1.8T high-performance full-aluminum intercooled turbocharged engine technology in the world. The Roewe 550 1.8 DVVT uses the most advanced intake and exhaust dual continuous variable valve timing technology, with efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection being the most prominent features of this engine. Through data testing, it is known that the Roewe 550 1.8L DVVT can increase power by 10% and reduce fuel consumption by 5%. The constant speed fuel consumption at 90 kilometers per hour is 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers, and emissions are reduced accordingly, meeting Euro IV standards. The engine used in the Roewe 550 1.8L is SAIC Group's first 1.8L naturally aspirated engine with DVVT technology. The main difference between engines with DVVT technology and ordinary engines lies in their smoother operation, linear power output, and lower noise and fuel consumption.
The most profound impression given is the smooth power output of the Roewe 550 1.8L, which feels less aggressive and more composed compared to the previous 1.8T model. Of course, this does not mean that without the turbocharger, the Roewe 550 becomes entirely inert. Its high-speed performance is very satisfying; starting from 100 km/h and stepping on the gas, it can quickly accelerate to 170 km/h in no time.
