The Roewe RX5 is a compact crossover that is manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Roewe of SAIC Motor.

On 9 June 2016, Alibaba officially unveiled the Roewe RX5, its first “internet car” in collaboration with SAIC.Priced upwards of RMB 148,800 ($22,300) when deliveries started in August 2016.[1] According to Roewe CEO Wang Jian, the new internet technology will allow the joint venture to quickly adapt its cars to become self-driving.[2]

eRX5 and ERX5

The RX5 came in three different powertrains, including the petrol-engined RX5, the PHEV eRX5, and the fully electric ERX5. The capital "E" in Roewe's naming system indicates fully electric while the lower case "e" indicates hybrid. Exterior styling differences are mainly on the front view, with the eRX5 and ERX5 having larger grilles and grille-mounted front license plates. The only styling difference between the eRX5 and ERX5 are the different inner headlamp setup and graphics.

MG RX5

The RX5 is also sold under the MG marque, though only with petrol powertrains. The 2.0 turbo comes only with all wheel drive. It was launched in the Middle East in 2018.[3]
