Is the Roewe RX8 powerful enough for highway driving?

The RX8 is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 224 PS and 360 Nm of torque. This is paired with an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. Unlike many modern unibody SUVs, the RX8 features a heavy-duty ladder-frame chassis, making it capable of serious towing and off-road tasks. For buyers considering the Roewe RX8, 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.
