In recent years, the development momentum of Hongqi has been quite rapid, and its overall sales have shown a rising trend, gaining a firm foothold in the second-tier luxury camp. Among them, H5 has contributed to the fact that it sold 13,137 vehicles in January this year, becoming the first choice for many people when buying cars. Although there was a pullback in the following two months, the reason is that many people are full of expectations for the new H5 and are in a wait-and-see state. A few days ago, the new Hongqi H5 real car was exposed, so how strong is it in the end, can it bring surprises in sales?
The design of the new Hongqi H5 is almost "reproduced" the H9 concept, and the sporty atmosphere and fashion attributes have been improved. The front face part of the straight waterfall type net accounts for a relatively large proportion, the interior is based on black, with a number of thick chrome trim strips, the overall aura has been improved. Hongqi's new LOGO is more eye-catching, with sharp LED headlight groups on both sides, the recognition is beyond doubt. The split fog light areas on both sides are very eye-catching, so the aggression is enhanced.
The side of the new Red Flag H5 is smoother and smoother, creating a noticeable dive look. The through-waist line stretches the visual length and complements the raised polyline under the doors. The size of the spoke hub is good, and it is estimated that different styles will be available. The tail is layered with multiple faceted surfaces, and the two ends of the through-type taillight group are eye-catching with a "Y" shape. The bilateral single-output exhaust structure complements the rear bar part and looks quite sporty.
Like the exterior, the interior design of the new Hongqi H5 is also closer to the younger route. Its versatile steering wheel is moderately sized, with a compact layout of function buttons and knobs, making it easy for the driver to maneuver when driving. The rectangular full LCD instrument is very chic, and the UI interface design is strong. The new vertical central control screen seems to be quite similar to mercedes-Benz's new C-class, and the car machine system will have a rich application reserve. The electronic gear lever is rounded and convenient when driving.
The size of the new Hongqi H5 is a big advantage, its length is 4988mm, the wheelbase is 2920mm, the space performance is very ideal, in the same class of models are more outstanding. Some models will provide leather seats, which play a good support for the body, and the sense of wrapping does not have to worry, which can effectively alleviate driving fatigue. In addition, the trunk depth of the car is also considerable, with good storage capacity, and the home attributes are guaranteed.
In terms of power, the new Hongqi H5 will provide three tunings, distinguishing between 1.5T, 2.0T and 1.5T HEV versions, so as to attract the favor of different consumer groups. Among them, the 1.5T model has a maximum power of 124 kilowatts and a decent power output. However, the 2.0T engine is completely independently developed by Hongqi, the maximum power is upgraded to 165 kilowatts, the peak torque is 340 Nm, the thermal efficiency has been significantly enhanced, and the fuel economy has been better played. The 1.5T HEV version is to keep up with the trend of new energy, and it may also launch a new 2.0T HEV car in the future.
In 2021, Hongqi H5 won 83,875 report cards, and it also has the confidence to break the wrist in the face of opponents such as "34C". Overall, the new car has been comprehensively upgraded in many aspects, and its competitiveness has been significantly improved. If the price can still be set below 200,000 yuan, then its cost-effective advantage will be recognized by many consumers. It is expected that its sales after the official listing do not have to worry, this year's entire series of at least 80,000 vehicles to the bottom, the probability will break through the 90,000 vehicle mark.
