With the further "development" of the Hongqi brand in the civilian market, its brand appeal is also growing, making Hongqi confident to launch new cars to seize market share. Recently, a set of street-side pictures of the new H5 circulated on the Internet, which is obviously more eye-catching than the current model, and the author learned from relevant channels that the car will also be officially mass-produced at the end of May. Today, the author will first take you to understand the relevant information of the new car.
The street photography of this exposure is basically equivalent to no camouflage, so we can also clearly see the appearance of the new car. Specifically, the new car is equipped with a family-style straight waterfall grille, plus a rectangular layout, which is similar to its "big brother" Hongqi H9 as a whole. Needless to say, the front face of the new design language is replaced, although the red flag H5 lacks a little personality, but the visual effect is still quite good. In addition, the camouflage line on the hood should be the "central axis" logo of the Hongqi brand.
On the light group, the new car will adopt a split headlight design, a narrow upper light group with the surrounding design below, the entire front of the car has a visual impact, giving me the feeling that it is younger and more personalized than the Hongqi H9.
On the side, the new car cancels the previous slip-back shape, and creates a smooth and atmospheric business car image through the shoulder line of the plate and the towering front. At the same time, the new car also uses camouflage at the door connection behind the front fender, but it can be predicted that this will most likely be a side flag like the Hongqi H9, further enhancing the aura of the whole vehicle; the multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels look very advanced, which is more in line with the positioning of the new car.
In the rear part of the car, it can be found from the street photograph that the new car will be equipped with through-type taillights like the Hongqi H9, and a chrome trim strip is used to run through the interior. However, the taillights of the new car use a more personalized shape in the "protruding" parts of the left and right ends. Moreover, the new car has a "small ducktail" design on the rear tailgate, and the sense of youth is more prominent.
In terms of size, according to the news previously revealed, the length, width and height of the new car are 5050/1915/1570mm, and the wheelbase has reached 2920mm. In terms of data, the new car is even better than the Accord, which is also a medium-sized car, reaching the "B+" level of Taurus.
In terms of interior, Hongqi officials have not yet revealed the exact relevant information, but with reference to the previously exposed spy photos, the new car will adopt a new design layout, equipped with a full LCD instrument and a vertical central control screen of the same type as the Mercedes-Benz C-class. Needless to say, the interior layout of the new car is indeed more attractive than before, and it is more technological than its "big brother" Hongqi H9; in terms of space, based on the excellent body size, it is not difficult to imagine that the new car will not disappoint everyone in this regard. We might as well stay tuned.

Finally, in terms of power, it is reported that Hongqi will provide two engines on the new body, 1.5T and 2.0T, of which the former will match the 7DCT transmission, which is the same power combination on the current model. The latter will use the same 2.0T engine of the Hongqi HS5, with a maximum horsepower of 224 hp, a maximum torque of 340 Nm, and an 8AT gearbox on the transmission, as to whether it is Aisin's product, it is still debatable.

In general, due to the adjustment of the strategic policy, the market share of the Hongqi brand has risen visibly in recent years, and the arrival of the new Hongqi H5 is bound to further increase the sales of the brand. But then again, what will be the price of a new car? For reference, the current Hongqi H5 is priced at 145,800-190,800 yuan, the author predicts that the new car should be properly floated, and the version with 2.0T+8AT may break through 200,000, you say yes?
