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 have exposed the scene of Hongqi's new H5 revealing its true identity. So, this product, which has extraordinary significance for Hongqi, how strong is it after the replacement? Let's take a look.
The appearance of the Red Flag H5 is very domineering, and the inverted trapezoidal forward grille is directly connected to the headlights on both sides. The lower grille has a through-through design and looks hierarchical. It has both a calm atmosphere like a luxury car, and a sense of movement that is not too dull. At the same time, the body size of the Hongqi H5 is 4945*1845*1470mm, and the wheelbase is 2875mm, which is very outstanding compared with the cars such as Maiteng, Accord and Camry. This also makes the Hongqi H5 have the strength to not lose to The Magotan in terms of seating space and appearance in the car.
Entering the car of the Hongqi H5 gives people a strong sense of technology, the center console has almost no physical buttons, replaced by the touch buttons under the middle suspension 10-inch LCD screen. In addition, as a B-class car that takes into account both business and family, the Hongqi H5 also pays special attention to the feelings of rear passengers. Things like privacy glass, rear seat heating, Bose sound, the side of the passenger seat and the boss button and more.
The rear of the car adopts a slipback design with a certain curvature decline, which increases the head space while making the rear look less decent. And a new blackening treatment has been added to the rear LED light group, which has a strong sense of visual hierarchy, further improving the sporty atmosphere of Hongqi H5. The overall visual effect of the rear of the car is relatively full, still in line with the stable temperament of the Hongqi brand.
In terms of power, the 2022 Hongqi H5 is consistent with the old model, providing two options: 1.5T and 1.8T engine. Among them, the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 258 Nm, matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
