ROX 01: Test drive of the coolest SUV from China, China SUV ROX 01 05/10/2025, 08:00

The Chinese Rox car brand is very young: It was created in 2021 and presented the first model Rox 01 in 2023. Chinese businessman Chang Jin, the founder of Roborock vacuum cleaners, invested important funds in Rox Motors Elektrodup only four years ago with the support of Xiaomi technological giant.

Chinese and American investors invested 100 million dollars in this business, and 2023. Joint Rox became the leader of the world leader in aluminum production, owner of Chinese car giant Baw. The aim of the new company was to produce high -tech cars with the widespread use of aluminum alloys.

An example to be followed

Comparison with the modern version of Land Rover Defender from Rox 01, leaving will not work, cars are conceptually similar. However, if Land Rover still uses gasoline and diesel engines, Rox has a weak gasoline turbo motor with a capacity of 152 forces to charge the traction battery.

The driver of the China SUV electricity – an electric motor on each axis, total power of 475 HP and torque, an impressive 740 nm such as a dump truck.

As in Land Rover Defender, there are many aluminum pieces in Rox 01 design. In particular, the outer body panels are stamped from it, but the body frame is steel. It is made of aluminum and suspension arms to reduce the unfounded masses in Rox. The proportions of the body have to remember the British SUV, but at the same time Rox is perceived visually by the larger.

Luxury

“How to get out

The big pen was still at the door, but much lower than you see.

But the “Equalist” button is really the only button on this wide front panel.

All other functions are hidden in the intestines of the media system. Fortunately, with a clear color display and a high -speed processor.

Set the climate – in the menu, enable the heating of the seats – in the menu, even open the dimensions instead of headlights to avoid blinding the neighbors in the parking lot – the menu. And don’t forget to go inside to open the headlights before the trip continues. Because it is insecure to do while on the move: The desired button is located from the driver in the lower right corner of the 15 -inch screen.

But in general, the interface is aesthetic and functional – at the level of modern tablets. The aspects of the airflow can be replaced by dragging the conditional images with a finger on the screen, and even the shafts of the deflects of the coup here lack mechanical control.

However, the temperature must be adjusted several degrees higher than a European or Japanese car. The strange work of climatic systems is characteristic of many Chinese machines and ROX 01 For 9.2 million rubles – No exception.

In terms of the quality of interior decoration, it corresponds to the SUV price segment: Additions on the steering knees and door handles, seats and steering wheel – solid nappa, large seats are very suitable.

Another thoughtful digging of the main menu – and all settings were found (the driver’s seat is arranged in ten directions, the rear passenger – eight at eight) and selected the appropriate position of the steering wheel. Outward, the car looks expensive.

Apparently Rox 01 Chinese owners see basketball players or other long people: the road lumen in the car does not trust the air suspension and literally have to climb the hall. There are no folding thresholds such as Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Tahoe.

Tram

At first, at first you feel the wagon at first: it allows you to carefully select the turning orbit of the length of more than 5 meters, which is a large traction battery under the floor. But at the same time it turns the car as in the rails: it clearly follows driving and not touched as much as you expected from such a big passage.

Three operation mode is provided for the power plant. If you use the maximum maintenance function of battery charge, the gasoline engine is immediately included in the operation and does not allow the battery to be completely discharged: below 35 km, the course of the course in this mode does not fall. However, the dynamic properties in the machine are quite moderate and the recovery of energy is immediately opened, you only need to release the gas pedal.

In hybrid mode, the electronics itself determines when to open the internal combustion engine. And with a completely charged battery, he does it right away.

In this mode, as in the fully electric, Rox shows jealous abuse: the gas starts with a slippage with intense pressing and gains a quick movement. If the machine is excreted in winter tires, it does not allow conscience in “ground gas” mode: There is a chance to “injure ısıtıtıtıtıtıylas and cars left behind.

During the motion on the motorway, the moment of connecting the gasoline engine is almost difficult: the car manufacturer did not save the noise insulation of the engine compartment, and thanks to the double cups on the doors, the cabin is very quiet.

At high speeds going beyond the limits of established restrictions, the background noise from illegal air flow is quite concrete. Pneumatic suspension is not provided for Rox, but there are adaptable shock absorbers, taking into account the relaxation of the road. Moscow and Moscow roads with irregularities, caring with dignity, the suspension of breaks does not allow body fluctuations and effectively extinguishes.

Fuel supply and charging

According to the manufacturer, with a completely 70 -liter gas tank and a rechargeable battery, a completely decent movement reaches 1338 km. You can go to Krasnodar at the gas station without stopping, but such a route is not assumed as part of a short test. However, it was possible to benefit from rapid electrical loading at a gas station in the Moscow region twice.

I had to reorganize the car twice to start charging: the steeter of the Chinese standard GB/T in the thick cable should be mounted on the connector without the slightest distortion and this is not immediately done.

It took more than one hour to fill the electricity supply from 17% to 100%. To extend the battery source, the power provided is sharply reduced after loading to 80% of the container. However, on the other hand, the battery can be charged between 25% and 80% within half an hour. Charging is much more expensive than light in the three -phase current apartment: 20 rubles per kWh.
