The Roewe 950 is a large four-door saloon that is produced by Roewe in China and is based on the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. It was first shown to the public at the 2012 Beijing International Motor Show[3] and commenced production in April 2012.

Overview

The strong relationship between the 950 and Buick LaCrosse is a result of the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, with Roewe owned by SAIC Motor.

The 950 is powered by a range of General Motors engines.[4] The 4-cylinder 2.0-litre produces 108 kW (147 PS; 145 bhp) @ 6,200 rpm and 190 N⋅m (140 lb⋅ft) @ 4,600, the 4-cylinder 2.4-litre produces 137 kW (186 PS; 184 bhp) @ 6,200 rpm and 240 N⋅m (177 lb⋅ft) @ 4,800 rpm. The 3.0-litre V6 produces 190 kW (258 PS; 255 bhp) @ 6,800 rpm and 296 N⋅m (218 lb⋅ft) @ 5600 rpm, resulting in claimed a top speed of 215 km/h (133.6 mph).[5] The only transmission option is a 6 speed automatic.

2017 facelift

In 2017, a major facelift was conducted on the Roewe950, and the front view was updated to look in line with the later Roewe vehicles influenced by the Roewe Vision-R electric concept car. The rear view was also updated with new LED tail lamps and a horizontal chrome bar above the license plate.[6]

The fuel cell electric vehicle Roewe 950 fuel cell sedan with a range of 400 km went on display at the 2014 Beijing show, the powertrain consists of a battery and hydrogen fuel cell and can start at temperatures of -20℃ below zero.[7] The 1.4 litre petrol engine is rated at 152 horsepower along with a 76 horsepower electric motor bringing total horsepower output to 228 horsepower. It also carries a 2 speed automatic gearbox. Production commenced in April 2016. Available colours are known as dark black ink, star han silver, silver leaf gold and pearl white.
