Roewe iMAX8 EV Overview: Generations and Buying Guide
Overview of the Roewe iMAX8 EV minivan (2020–present): its single generation, 245 hp electric powertrain, and which version to buy.
The Roewe iMAX8 EV is an electric minivan produced from 2020 to the present, offered with a single 245 hp powertrain. It suits buyers who need a large family or business van with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, and who want a fully electric vehicle rather than a petrol or diesel minivan.
Roewe iMAX8 EV generations
1 generation (2020–present)
The first and only generation of the Roewe iMAX8 EV has been in production since 2020. It is built solely as a minivan and comes with one modification: an electric powertrain rated at 245 hp, paired with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The power range across the lineup is flat at 245 hp, so there are no weaker or stronger versions to weigh against each other — every Roewe iMAX8 EV leaves the factory with the same output.
The single-modification lineup keeps the range simple. The Roewe iMAX8 EV AT (1 generation) runs on electric power only, uses an automatic gearbox, and drives the front wheels. Since the generation is still current, the specification has stayed consistent from 2020 onward.
Which Roewe iMAX8 EV to buy
- AT (1 generation): the only modification offered, with 245 hp from its electric powertrain, an automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive — every Roewe iMAX8 EV on the market is this version, so there is no trade-off to consider.
On the used market the choice is equally straightforward: all cars belong to the same generation (2020–present) and share one specification, so a newer production year is the main meaningful difference between two otherwise identical examples. There is no older, less powerful generation to accidentally end up with, which makes cross-shopping listings simple.
Summary
The Roewe iMAX8 EV is a one-generation, one-modification electric minivan. Every example built since 2020 is the AT version with 245 hp, automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Buyers do not need to compare trims by power or drivetrain — the decision comes down to condition and production year rather than picking between versions. For anyone set on an electric minivan from Roewe, the iMAX8 EV AT (1 generation) is the entire lineup, and its 245 hp output applies to every car from 2020 to the present.
