Overview
What this generation is, and who it suits.
The RX8 was Roewe's large seven-seat SUV — a body-on-frame flagship with turbo petrol power and optional four-wheel drive, aimed at Chinese families wanting size and toughness. It stood apart from the brand's car-based crossovers.
Its frame construction gives it genuine durability credentials; refinement trails unibody rivals accordingly. As with the rest of the range, international availability is minimal, and its relevance abroad is mostly as SAIC's answer to frame-SUV demand.

Frequently asked questions
Why body-on-frame?
Durability and light off-road/towing credibility valued by parts of the Chinese market.
Off-road ability?
Competent light-duty capability with 4WD versions; it is a family SUV first, not a rock crawler.
