Due to the high positioning of the products created by the Hongqi brand in the early years, coupled with the relatively old design, it does appear to have some lofty taste. This established impression also directly led to the fact that Hongqi's products rarely appeared on the road earlier. Fortunately, realizing that the essence of car companies is to sell cars, Hongqi launched the H5 B-class sedan with a young design and a truly people-friendly price in 2018, which finally put it on the right track at the sales level. Nowadays, even if Hongqi does not need to give too much proof in the field of domestic luxury, it is not ambiguous about the replacement process of H5.
Thanks to the fact that the new generation of Hongqi H5 has been officially declared on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology not long ago; recently, some netizens (the following part of the picture originates from @ leading a thin horse to the end of the world) exposed the scene of Hongqi new H5 revealing its true body. So, this product, which has extraordinary significance for Hongqi, how strong is it after the replacement? Let's take a look.
The first thing to say is that because it is a product after the "big brother" H9, and the design of the H9 is widely recognized. Therefore, the design of the new generation of H5 basically continues the design concept of H9 without suspense. As can be seen from the picture, the color scheme of the new car may be more vivid, but its overall appearance does have a "small H9" taste. Just like its front face, a large size straight waterfall mid-mesh filled with a large number of chrome fills, with split headlights and a standard that continues to the bonnet; whether it is exquisite or atmospheric composition, it is not even inferior to the H9.
In terms of body structure creation, Hongqi new H5 does not have a sneaky layout, which will indeed reduce the overall dynamic color of its side face. However, its more neat waistline and the choice of large-sized dense spoke wheels make its side face appear more stable and atmospheric. In terms of body size, due to the product of the new platform, the length, width and height of the new H5 will be increased to 4988/1875/1470mm, and the wheelbase will also be raised to 2920mm.
As for the rear of the new car, even if the roof is not as direct as the old model, the "shark fin", "ducktail" and bilateral exhaust layout can still bring a strong sporty style. In addition, the through-type taillights of the H9 are synchronized, which also gives its overall appearance a little more technological elements.
In the interior part, Hongqi's new H5 is also subversive. Moreover, in its simple interior layout, due to the suspension of the full LCD instrument and the oversized size of the straight waterfall central control multimedia screen, its interior is more outstanding in the creation of a scientific and technological atmosphere. If it were not for the intervention of the electronic gear, this interior design may really be recognized as the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
In terms of power, according to the declaration information, the new car will provide 1.5T, 2.0T and a hybrid system based on a 1.5T engine.
Only in the existing situation, the overall performance of Hongqi's new H5, including appearance, interior design, size and power, is not only "subversive", but also a manifestation of greatly enhancing its own strength. If the price and configuration can also bring surprises, I believe that the volume is still not a problem.
