Recently, the news about Hongqi's new H5 model has been further exposed. Specifically, the new car will provide three powertrains, namely 1.5T oil-electric hybrid, 1.5T engine and 2.0T engine optional.
Judging from the declaration chart, the length and width of the new car are 4988/1875/1470mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, compared with the length of the current model +43mm, width +30mm, height unchanged, wheelbase +45mm. At the same time, the new car starter version may be equipped with 17-inch wheels.
From the appearance of the real car, the vertical chrome-plated middle grid and split headlights are the same as the big brother H9, and it is expected that all series of LED headlights are standard. The rounded silhouette of the rear and the slightly raised "rear wing", combined with the through-type taillights, are very young and dynamic, and due to the difference in power, there are three kinds of 35TD (1.5T engine), HEV (1.5T oil and electricity system), and 40TD (2.0T engine) tail markers.
The declaration map also mentions that the new car will be equipped with 6 parking radars before and after, or equipped with 360-degree panoramic images of high-end models, and 18-inch contour low-end models are optional.
The red and black color scheme interior has the exclusive grace and luxury of the red flag, supplemented by a large number of pianos and silver decorative strips without losing the sense of youth and fashion. The vertical large-size screen resembles the Mercedes-Benz S-Class design, and the integration of more functions into it makes the entire center console more concise. In addition, the seats are made of punched materials, which are expected to be prepared for ventilation functions.
The power section, the "HEV" 1.5T hybrid model and the "35TD" 1.5T model, have a maximum engine power of 124kW; the "40TD" model has a maximum power of 165kW. In terms of drivetrain, the 1.5T model is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and the 2.0T is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission.
In the past January, the current Hongqi H5 has been able to deliver 11,739 German monthly sales results, the most important of which is that its size is large enough, and then there is a Hongqi brand bonus. Refer to the current H5 guidance price of 145,800-190,800 yuan, and the big brother H7 guidance price is 25.28-288,800 yuan, and the middle price gap is larger. The new Hongqi H5 has improved significantly in all aspects, and also added a 2.0T engine, so it is expected that the new car will increase by 20,000-30,000 yuan. Even if the price rises, I personally think that the H5 is still quite attractive compared to models such as the Passat and camry, and is likely to become a spoiler for B-class cars.
