The Roewe i6, codename IP31, was launched on the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show in China, as Roewe's new C segment sedan, replacing the aging Roewe 550, and sharing the platform with the second generation MG 6 sedan. It is the first sedan model using the all new "Lv Dong" design philosophy, which means the fusion of oriental aesthetic culture and western design discipline.

The Roewe ei6, codename IP34, is the plug-in hybrid variant of the Roewe i6, and was also launched on the 2016 Guangzhou Auto Show in China. Same as the Roewe RX5 and eRX5, the main styling difference would be the grilles. The petrol version i6 would have a slightly smaller grille, while the hybrid ei6 would have a relatively larger one. The ei6 has 228 hp (170 kW; 231 PS) in total, using the 1.0 with an extra 82 hp (61 kW; 83 PS) electric motor.[2]

The Roewe i6 MAX is 45 mm (1.8 in) longer and 29 mm (1.1 in) taller.[3] It features a new family-style front fascia design elements and is adopted With the Ronglin wing grille, the updated design creates a stronger sense of design within the updated Roewe product line. The facelifted headlights are integrated with the grilles, which further enhances the front face visual width.
The Roewe i6 MAX is equipped with the 1.5 liter second-generation Blue Core 300TGI mid-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged engine by SAIC which meets the National VI emission standards. The engine produces a maximum power of 131 kW (178 PS; 176 hp) and a maximum torque of 275 N⋅m (203 lb⋅ft).

The ER6 is the first pure electric sedan from the Roewe brand with the newly introduced “R” emblem based on the i6. The Rising Auto ER6 was officially launched in Shanghai by SAIC in August 2020, it is offered in a total of three different trim levels with the official price ranging from 162,800 yuan to 200,800 yuan (~US$23,443 – 28,915) after subsidies.

The Rising Auto ER6 is powered by an electric motor, TZ204XS1152 produced by Huayu Automotive Electric System Co., Ltd., producing 184 PS (135 kW; 181 hp).

As of October 2021, SAIC announced Feifan (非凡) as the Chinese name of the “R” brand with the full name being Feifan Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. and separate the R brand products of SAIC to Feifan automobile. The R brand was originally set as a premium EV brand and was technically under Roewe, and the English name was officially called Rising Auto as of 2022. Starting from the announcement of the Rising Auto and Feifan Automobile name, the original R brand has become an independent company. The cars will still have the R brand logo. On 30 October, Rising Auto became an independent company parallel to IM Motors (another EV subbrand of SAIC).[5]
