The Roewe RX9 is a mid-size crossover SUV produced by SAIC Motor under the Roewe brand. It is marketed outside China as the under the MG brand as the MGS9 PHEV, MG RX9 and MG QS.
Overview
[edit source]
In August 2022, Roewe introduced the RX9 to expand its presence in the premium SUV segment with a model positioned above the Roewe RX8. Although originally planned for a third-quarter release that year, delays pushed its market launch to February 2023, as announced by the company in December 2022. The RX9 is available with three rows of seating, offering space for six or seven passengers.
Unlike the more traditional design of the RX8 launched in 2018, the new model features a bolder, more modern appearance.[2] It is distinguished by an aggressive front end with a large trapezoidal grille, slim headlights, and angled LED daytime running lights. At the rear, the taillights are connected by a light strip, and the gently sloping roofline ends in a tilted rear window. Aerodynamic efficiency was enhanced through features like flush door handles.[3]
The interior reflects design trends popular among Chinese automakers in the early 2020s, emphasizing minimalism and premium materials such as aluminum, leather, and light-toned finishes. A three-part display spanning the dashboard, consists of a digital instrument cluster, a central multimedia touchscreen, and a screen for the front passenger.[4]
