Coming on the heels of Roewe RX5, which had ushered in the new age of Internet-based cars, Roewe i6, became a new member of the “Internet club” co-built by SAIC Motor and Alibaba Group. The “i” in Roewe i6 represents “internet”, “innovation” and “intelligence”. As a core achievement of SAIC’s innovation, the new car is built on SAIC’s brand-new MIP platform, which integrates topnotch technologies with regards to drag, dynamics, Internet and other major fields. It offers users the kind of driving and ride experience similar to luxury cars, at an affordable price. The car even overtakes some luxury cars technology wise.

In the new age, cars are no longer a transport means, but a platform for intelligent travel. Big data and cloud computing have redefined the survivability of a car in the internet age, and will generate even more motor-related data and social value in the future. The popularity of Roewe RX5 was not only a success of SAIC-Alibaba cooperation, but also an indication of the general trends and user needs. The Roewe i6, on the other hand, will hit showrooms in the first half of 2017, and more about the car will be disclosed by then.

Roewe i6 20T comes in six options. Prices range from 89,800 to 143,800 yuan, but a preferential policy offered by the company will enable buyers to actually purchase the new car for just 89,800 to 136,800 yuan. Roewe i6 is a top choice in view of drag, space, interior, fuel consumption, technology and safety. In addition, pricing, service and preferential policies makes it definitely the best choice for a family sedan in the mobile Internet era.

In an active response to consumption upgrading and the advent of the Internet of Things era, SAIC is joining hands with partners in building a smart transport center focusing on “cars on the Internet”. SAIC’s Roewe i6 and RX5 have secured a leading position hard for others to overtake, and also will contribute to fostering a smart transport ecosystem. SAIC will accelerate product upgrading and revolution, and roll out various new products based on all-new platforms, dynamic systems and concepts in a bid to bring unprecedented user experiences.
