The Roewe D5X is not the kind of SUV you fully understand from a short city drive. To see what it can really do, we took it on a proper UAE road trip, from Dubai to Khor Fakkan, Hatta, Al Ain, Jebel Hafeet, Abu Dhabi, and back.The goal was simple: test the D5X on real roads, across highways, mountain routes, city streets, and long-distance driving conditions. With up to 1,300 km of total range and up to 120 km of pure EV driving, the Roewe D5X brings plug-in hybrid flexibility to a market where families need one car that can handle daily use and weekend adventures.This was not a normal review. It was a full road trip experience to see how the D5X handles comfort, efficiency, range confidence, and practicality across the UAE.

Before buying any SUV in the UAE, buyers should ask the right questions: does it offer safety features, a surround-view camera, a spacious cabin, real entertainment, easy daily usability, and strong value for money? In this content, we highlight the Roewe D5X as a practical plug-in hybrid SUV that brings these points together, with monthly instalments starting from AED 1,459.

In this Cartea review, we take the D5X on real UAE roads to see how it performs in daily driving, long-distance routes, comfort, features, and overall value.
