Which Roewe RX3 Pro version to buy
The Roewe RX3 Pro has been in production since 2021-03-01 as generation 1 (1 generation). Body type in the data is SUV 5-doors. There is one generation and two versions: 1.6 MT and 1.6 CVT. Both are still listed with stop not measured, so the choice is not “old generation versus new generation.” It is gearbox and economy on the same 1598 cm³ Gasoline engine.
The Roewe RX3 Pro has been in production since 2021-03-01 as generation 1 (1 generation). Body type in the data is SUV 5-doors. There is one generation and two versions: 1.6 MT and 1.6 CVT. Both are still listed with stop not measured, so the choice is not “old generation versus new generation.” It is gearbox and economy on the same 1598 cm³ Gasoline engine.
Power is the same on both: 125 hp (91 kW) at 6000 rpm and 158 Nm at 4400-4500 rpm. Specific output is 125 ÷ 1.598 ≈ 78.2 hp per litre and 158 ÷ 1.598 ≈ 98.9 Nm per litre. Boost is No. Cylinders are 4, layout is Inline, engine position is Front, transverse, injection is Distributed injection (multi-point), fuel is 95. Drive is FWD on both. Weight per horsepower is not measured because kerb weight is not measured.
The only measured difference that changes running cost is fuel use. 1.6 MT is 7.9 / 5.1 / 6.1 L/100 km (city / highway / mixed). 1.6 CVT is 7.7 / 5.1 / 6 L/100 km. City gap is 0.2 L/100 km (about 2.5% less for 1.6 CVT). Mixed gap is 0.1 L/100 km (about 1.6% less for 1.6 CVT). Highway is identical at 5.1 L/100 km. Tank is 48 L on both. Mixed range is 48 ÷ 6.1 × 100 ≈ 787 km on 1.6 MT versus 48 ÷ 6.0 × 100 = 800 km on 1.6 CVT (about 13 km extra). City range is 48 ÷ 7.9 × 100 ≈ 608 km versus 48 ÷ 7.7 × 100 ≈ 623 km (about 16 km extra). Highway range is 48 ÷ 5.1 × 100 ≈ 941 km on both.
0–100 km/h is not measured for 1.6 MT and not measured for 1.6 CVT. Top speed is not measured for either. You cannot pick a version on acceleration or top speed from this catalogue.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
Generation 1 started 2021-03-01; end of production is not measured. Body is SUV 5-doors. Version count is 2. There is no second generation in the data, so there is no later engine, no extra drive type, and no restyling listed as a separate generation.
Both versions start on 2021-03-01; both have stop not measured. Chassis items that are listed are the same: Independent, spring front; Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear; Ventilated disc front brakes; Disc rear brakes; wheels 205/60 R16 and 215/50 R17. Ground clearance is not measured. Kerb weight is not measured. Gross weight is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured. Compression ratio is not measured. Bore and stroke are not measured.
What generation 1 did not split: power, torque, displacement, fuel type, cylinder count, cylinder layout, boost, drive, tank, wheels, suspension labels, brake labels. What it did split: gearbox — 5-speed Manual on 1.6 MT versus Variable on 1.6 CVT — and the three consumption figures above.
Engine and specs (both versions)
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement (cm³) | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 MT | 125 | 158 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | Manual | FWD |
| 1.6 CVT | 125 | 158 | 1598 | Gasoline | 4 | Inline | No | Variable | FWD |
1.6 MT uses a 5-speed Manual (peredach 5). 1.6 CVT uses Variable; number of gears is not measured. Engine speed for peak power is 6000 rpm on both. Torque band is 4400-4500 rpm on both. Fuel grade in the data is 95.
Because hp, Nm, and 1598 cm³ match, buying 1.6 CVT does not buy more power per litre. The extra equipment in the name is the Variable gearbox and the 0.2 / 0.0 / 0.1 L/100 km city / highway / mixed deltas.
Performance, mpg, and what is not measured
0–100 km/h: not measured (1.6 MT), not measured (1.6 CVT). Top speed: not measured (1.6 MT), not measured (1.6 CVT).
Fuel consumption that is measured:
- 1.6 MT: city 7.9, highway 5.1, mixed 6.1 L/100 km
- 1.6 CVT: city 7.7, highway 5.1, mixed 6 L/100 km
Highway mpg in these units is a tie. City and mixed favor 1.6 CVT. Over 10,000 km of mixed driving, the 0.1 L/100 km gap is about 10 L of 95 fuel. Over 10,000 km of city driving, the 0.2 L/100 km gap is about 20 L. Over 10,000 km of highway driving, the gap is 0 L.
Reliability and common problems are not in the data. Do not infer them from gearbox type. The catalogue does not measure failure rates.
Dimensions, weight, tank, wheels
Kerb weight: not measured (1.6 MT), not measured (1.6 CVT). Gross weight: not measured on both. Ground clearance: not measured on both. Tank: 48 L on both. Wheels: 205/60 R16 and 215/50 R17 on both.
Weight per horsepower cannot be calculated. Ground-clearance comparison cannot be calculated. Wheel choice is not a version split: both versions list the same two sizes.
Body type is SUV 5-doors for the generation, not a per-version split.
Which version to choose
Use only the measured splits.
Choose 1.6 CVT if the goal is lower city and mixed fuel use on the same 125 hp / 158 Nm / 1598 cm³ Gasoline Inline 4 with boost No, FWD, 48 L tank, and the same wheels. The Variable gearbox is the named difference; mixed consumption is 6 versus 6.1 L/100 km; city is 7.7 versus 7.9 L/100 km; highway is 5.1 versus 5.1 L/100 km. Mixed tank range is about 800 km versus about 787 km.
Choose 1.6 MT if the goal is a 5-speed Manual. Power, torque, displacement, fuel, cylinders, layout, boost, drive, tank, and wheels do not change. You accept 0.2 L/100 km more in the city and 0.1 L/100 km more mixed, with highway unchanged.
Do not choose by 0–100, top speed, kerb weight, gross weight, ground clearance, CO2, or eco class: all of those are not measured. Do not choose by generation: there is only 1 generation (1 generation) from 2021-03-01, SUV 5-doors, two versions.
There is no third engine, no AWD row, and no second power figure under the same name. 1.6 MT is 125 hp; 1.6 CVT is 125 hp. The buy decision is Manual versus Variable plus the consumption arithmetic above.
