Overview
editThe 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.[3] The four cylinder 2.0 litre produces 108 kW (147 PS; 145 bhp) @ 6,200 rpm and 190 N⋅m (140 lb⋅ft) @ 4,600, the four 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).[4] The only transmission option is a six speed automatic.
In July 2015, a four cylinder 1.8L engine was offered that produced 136 kW (185 PS; 182 bhp) and 290 N⋅m (214 lb⋅ft) and with the TST6 transmission produced fuel economy of 7.6 litres per kilometre (0.37 mpg‑imp; 0.31 mpg‑US).[5][6]
2017 facelift
editIn July 2017, a major facelift was conducted on the 950, 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.[7][8]
950 Fuel Cell
editThe 950 plug-in hybrid fuel cell was unveiled at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show.[9] The 950 Fuel Cell is a duel-power system consisting of a battery and a hydrogen fuel cell which produces 150 horsepower (110 kW) and has a range of 400 kilometres (250 mi) on the fuel cell which is extended with the battery to 430 kilometres (270 mi).[10][11]
The 950 Fuel Cell become the first Chinese production fuel cell passenger vehicle when production commenced in 2016.[12] As of October 2019, a 50 vehicle demonstration fleet had been produced for leasing and for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) demonstration. The fleet had travelled more than 500,000 kilometers.[10] The 950 Fuel Cell was not offered to the public.[10][13]
e950
editThe e950 plug-in hybrid was unveiled in November 2015 at the Guangzhou Auto Show and was launched in April 2016 at the 2016 Beijing Auto Show.[14][15] The e950 has a SGE 1.4TGI turbocharged engine that produces 112 kW (152 PS; 150 bhp) and 235 N⋅m (173 lb⋅ft) with a hybrid system of two high-output electric motors, one 56 kW (75 hp) unit (TM) and another smaller motor (ISG) rated at 32 kW (43 hp) and a 11.8 kWh lithium-ion battery.[14][16] The e950 has a driving range of 600 kilometres (370 mi) and is capable of fuel consumption as low as 1.7 litres per 100 kilometres (170 mpg‑imp; 140 mpg‑US).[14][16] The e950 has a two speed automatic gearbox.[1]
