As the first model launched after the reform of Hongqi, Hongqi H5 has achieved quite good results in the market, but now it has been fighting for nearly 4 years, according to the frequency of domestic innovation, Hongqi H5 has also reached the time of replacement. Recently, the new generation of Hongqi H5 real car road test was captured by netizens.
The new generation of Hongqi H5 uses the latest family design, very similar to the flagship sedan H9, the straight waterfall grille is highly recognizable, the bottom of the U-shaped chrome trim is connected to the two side headlights, and there will still be a red decoration above the hood extending to the center, which is the iconic element of the red flag.
The sides have also been redesigned, with lines running from the front of the car to the rear in one go, with a very smooth and denser two-tone wheels. And it is obvious that the new model is more slender than the old model, it is reported that the length, width and height of the new H5 will reach 5050/1915/1570mm, the wheelbase or 2920mm, the size of the overall increase, in fact, has reached the standard of large and medium-sized cars, the aura is not worse than the E-class, 5 series, in fact, if compared with the imported Mercedes-Benz E-class, the Hongqi H5 in all aspects of the data is larger, the internal space is more spacious and comfortable.
The tail is also a through-line design, the two sides are Y-shaped, and the lower part of the internal light source is horizontally stacked, which is basically the same as H9. The words H5 are written on the lower right side of the headlights, indicating the identity. From the appearance point of view, the new generation H5 has the feeling of a small H9.
However, the interior is still differentiated, the center console looks very layered, and under the air outlet of the central air conditioner is the vertical design of the central control screen, which is somewhat similar to the layout of the new Mercedes-Benz C-class. In addition, the dashboard also uses a full LCD processing, and the overall technology atmosphere is much stronger than that of the previous generation. The electronic gear handles have also been refitted with a new style, and there are fewer physical buttons in the car, which is very simple. The core powertrain is expected to be equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, matched with 7-speed dual-clutch and 8AT transmissions respectively.
The current H5 is undoubtedly the brand's sales model, with cumulative sales of more than 80,000 vehicles last year, but it also has to admit that there is still a big gap between its current achievements and the mainstream competitors of the joint venture, and there is a certain room for progress. The new generation of models has comprehensively enhanced the competitiveness of products, and the exterior design similar to the small H9 is not only more grade and more aura, with the taste of administrative cars, but also the internal sense of technology and configuration are more excellent than the old model, and the rear space is also more excellent. I don't know if the price will rise after the replacement, if the gap with the cash is not large, it should greatly stimulate sales growth, for those who have just bought a car, there may be some red eyes.
