Overall Rating
Roewe 950:
The Roewe 950 is a large four door saloon that is produced by Roewe in China, and is based on the 2010 Buick LaCrosse. It was first shown to the public at the 2012 Beijing International Motor Show, and commenced production in April 2012.
The 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. The four cylinder 2. 0 litre produces 108 kW @ 6,200 rpm and 190 N⋅m @ 4,600, the four cylinder 2. 4 litre produces 137 kW @ 6,200 rpm and 240 N⋅m @ 4,800 rpm....(Read more on Wikipedia)
