Is the Roewe i5 safe enough for family use?

The latest Roewe i5 is built with a 65% high-strength steel cage and comes with 6 airbags in high-spec models. While it hasn't been tested by ASEAN NCAP, its Chinese counterpart (C-NCAP) scores are high. However, enthusiasts should note that safety features like AEB are often reserved for top-tier trims, similar to its sibling the MG5. For buyers considering the Roewe i5, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
