After opening a new strategy, in recent years, Hongqi has successively launched star models such as HS5 and H9, which have attracted the attention of many consumer groups while successfully going out of the circle, and the market prospects are worth looking forward to. In fiscal 2021, it sold a total of 272,000 new cars of various colors, gaining a foothold in the second-tier luxury group, and the revival trend is obvious. In order to further consolidate the living space and impact higher sales, the new H5 arrow is on the string and will officially meet with everyone.
In terms of appearance, the new H5 seems to be a "scaled-down version of the H9", and there are many similarities in appearance between the two. Hongqi's design concept in recent years emphasizes fashion and personalized elements, and the new car "Alpine Flowing Water" type super large straight waterfall type network is particularly eye-catching, and the powerful aura is difficult to ignore. The split headlight group is very eye-catching and also extends to the left and right sides, and the horizontal visual effect is more prominent. The built-in LED light source presents an arrow feather layout, and the look and feel is beyond doubt after opening.
The side lines of the new H5 are very sharp and very sporty. A straight waistline extends from the front of the hood to the taillight set, reinforcing the integrity. It also shows a slight sneak-back shape, and the fashion sense is better. Multi-spoke hubs are considerable in size and available in different shapes. The rear of the car is relatively upright, the tail light group adopts the most popular through-line structure, and the two ends are also vertically downward, and the recognition is very eye-catching. Bilateral double-output exhaust structures are now common, adding some dynamic properties. The new car is also quite bold in terms of color matching, red flag red and aurora blue are very windy, and driving out will get a lot of attention.
Now everyone buys a car and cares a lot about space, and the new H5 also attaches great importance to this. Its length, width and height reach 4988/1875/1470mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm, providing a spacious interior environment, even compared to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, showing cross-level strength. In particular, the second row of seats has a considerable range of seats, and there is no obvious crowding of legs and heads.
The new H5 is also very careful in the interior configuration, which can achieve a clever combination of luxury and technology. Its interior is mostly wrapped in soft materials, and some models will be based on dark red, which looks quite textured. The oversized rectangular full LCD instrument is very eye-catching, and the UI interface design is full of strong red flag features. The vertical central control screen is more chic, and the sense of grade has been improved. The red flag LOGO in the middle of the steering wheel of the car highlights the brand confidence, and there is no need to worry about the grip. The gear handle style is relatively small, and the sense of control is worth recognizing.
In terms of performance, although the new H5 has not yet exposed specific information, it is expected to retain the 1.5T and 1.8T versions. In addition, it will also join the PHEV plug-in hybrid system to keep up with the current new energy trend. However, there is also news that the new car is based on a new horizontal platform, which may be equipped with a 2.0T engine and a more powerful power output.
Since its introduction in 2017, Hongqi H5 has become the sales star of the brand. The emergence of this new model has shown strong competitiveness in many aspects. It is one level higher than camry, accord and tianlai in terms of grade, but it has an advantage over "34C" in terms of cost performance. If the entry-level model still breaks below the 200,000 class, then its comprehensive strength will be more outstanding and will be recognized by more working class.
