Since Hongqi ushered in the new flagship sedan Hongqi H9, the brand is also launching more models as planned to enrich the product camp.
Recently, Hongqi has another brand new model has been exposed, according to the new car news, the car is suspected of the new Hongqi H5 model.
Judging from the unconmouflaged pictures, the front face of the new car has been replaced with a new Hongqi family straight waterfall grille, with a split LED light group on both sides, a proper "small H9", maintaining a stylish and dignified design.
From the side of the body, the new car also continues the similar shape of the Hongqi H9, presented in a more curved design, including the front, rear and waistline and window chrome strips are the same as the Hongqi H9.
However, the new car did not adopt a hidden door handle consistent with the Hongqi H9, but maintained the traditional design, or because the new car was lower positioned.
In terms of the rear, the car also did not continue the design of the Hongqi H9, but replaced by a more stylish through-channel arrow feather design, with a bilateral two-out chrome exhaust, effectively enhancing the sense of refinement.
It is worth noting that by comparing the spy photos of the previous exposure of the suspected red flag "H6", the shape is very similar to the new car map exposed this time, and the new car tail label is marked "H5", so it is concluded that it will be the same model. At the same time, it also means that the new car will be a replacement model of the Hongqi H5.
In terms of interior, according to the previous exposure spy photos, it can be seen that the new car adopts a new embedded central control screen design, which is less calm but more youthful and fashionable than the design of Hongqi H9.
The full LCD instrument is matched with a vertical layout of the central control screen, and adopts a relatively simple interior style.
In terms of power, according to the information previously exposed, the new car may be equipped with 2.0T+8AT, 1.5T+7DCT and 1.5T+ dual-motor hybrid system.
Referring to the current Hongqi H5, it is equipped with a 1.5T engine and a 1.8T engine +48V light mixing system, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch and 6AT transmission.
It is worth mentioning that the current Hongqi H5 is built on the same platform as FAW Mazda Artez and produced in a common line, which means that the same chassis is also used, and it is inevitable that people will think of Artez when they mention Hongqi H5.
Judging from the current positioning of Hongqi H5 (14.58-190,800 yuan), the positioning of new cars as medium-sized cars means that the new car competitors are some mainstream joint venture medium-sized cars.
Honda Accord
Guidance price: 16.98-25.98 million yuan
Toyota Camry
Guidance price: 17.98-26.98 million yuan
However, considering that the new Faw-hongqi brand has been positioned as a high-end model, it means that the new generation of Hongqi H5 will use high-end mid-size cars as a competitor.
BMW 3 Series
Guidance price: 29.39-39.89 million yuan
Audi A4 L
Guidance price: 30.68-39.68 million yuan
In fact, it has been 5 years since Hongqi launched the Hongqi H5 model in 2017, and the car has already entered the end of the product, and the replacement is also a natural situation.
Perhaps the official name of the new car "H5" is also to use the success of Hongqi H9 to help the brand achieve a comprehensive transformation and make the product formation new and unified.
However, according to the previous official plan, the brand will also launch the Hongqi H6 after the launch of the Hongqi H9, and the new car does not know when it will be launched.
Netizen 1: I thought it was a brand new model H6, the result is an H5 replacement?
Netizen 2: For most consumers, H9 is too expensive, and H5 is relatively close to the people.
Netizen 3: The more this shape looks, the more like the "hardcover version" Pentium B70!
Netizen 4: Curious, will you continue to use Artez's chassis after the replacement?
Netizen 5: The car is not domineering enough, want to know when the HS5 will be replaced?
Netizen 6: I hope that FAW 2.0T + Aisin 8AT version pricing does not die ~ ~
