In order to increase sales and attract more consumers to pay, many models will be updated or upgraded after a period of time on the market, and under normal circumstances, they will get better and better, and sales performance will naturally be improved. Just like the Hongqi HS5 after the mid-term facelift, sales were still in the fifteenth place in the monthly sales ranking of the mid-size SUV market in May, and by June, monthly sales had risen four places to 8,172 units. Although it is not as good as the previous monthly sales of more than 10,000, as long as the sales performance improves, it is enough to prove that this mid-term facelift is successful. Even if the car has been on the market for a while, we can still feel the product power of the car?
As we all know, the old Hongqi HS5 is already very aura, and the new Hongqi HS5 once again chooses to strengthen this advantage, with the blessing of the latest design language of the family. The biggest changes in the exterior design section are concentrated in the front of the car, with a straight waterfall front grille that is larger in size and vertical gold chrome trim strips that cross the metal dots, solemn without being too dull. Of course, in order to be more in line with the aesthetic requirements of contemporary consumers, the new Hongqi HS5 is not only following the classic, the headlights with split design are still liked by contemporary consumers, but the structure of the lamp cavity is simple, and the surface of the headlights below is embellished with irregular chrome metal strips, trying not to look so dull from the details.
Coming to the side of the new Hongqi HS5 body, the overall is basically the same as the old model, but a new logo is added to the front fender, and the wheel shape has begun to move closer to the younger direction. The car has a body length of 4785mm, which is an increase in body size compared to the old model, but the 2870mm wheelbase has not changed.
The rear of the car is the most surprising part, the full and solid rear surface integrated through the tail lights, the light strip shape in the lamp cavity is like an arrow feather, the visual effect after lighting is sharper. Uneven decorative points are added to the blackened surrounding surface, which combine with exhaust port decoration and chrome trim to enrich the visual effect.
The interior design layout of the new Hongqi HS5 is more concise and neat, mainly adjusted for details, the previous dual screen is not absent, and the main changes are concentrated in the air conditioning control system. The screen UI interface design and control sensitivity are remarkable, although not comparable to those new energy models, but more than enough to exceed the joint venture brand. This area returns to the design of traditional physical buttons and knobs, which is not only good visual effect but also actual control experience, and more practical than those touch buttons and touch screens.
The layout of the shift area is still traditional, with a wireless charging panel for mobile phones added to the front, which unfortunately only the driver can enjoy. In addition to the design adjustments, the new Hongqi HS5 is also optimized for interior materials, adding a lot of soft-sided material wrapping and baking paint materials, in addition to the original color matching, it also adds a brown-red interior, which is more suitable for elderly consumers.
Wide seats have excellent support wrapping for the human body, except for the entry-level, the front seats of other models support heating and ventilation, and the comfort configuration is actually not very satisfactory, after all, the starting price of entry-level models has come to 180,000 levels, and even the front row heating and ventilation is not very understandable. Thanks to the 2870mm wheelbase, the rear space performance of the new Hongqi HS5 has always been good, but there is a high bulge in the middle of the platform, which is especially unfriendly for middle passengers.
The new Hongqi HS5 will continue to use the 2.0T engine in the power part, but it has been upgraded, and the maximum power has reached 185 kilowatts, which is 20 watts higher than the old model, and the torque has also increased by 40Nm. Coupled with the new 8AT gearbox, it will undoubtedly bring more confidence to the driver during the actual driving process, and there is no problem in coping with daily household commuting.
No matter how much or less, compared with the old model, the product power of the new Hongqi HS5 has indeed been optimized and upgraded, and the biggest advantage compared with competitors in the same level is its strong aura and brand influence. Many consumers have different feelings for Hongqi, so many consumers have been willing to pay for it over the years. This increase in sales also represents consumers' recognition of the new Hongqi HS5, and we hope that it can continue to improve itself in the future and truly attract consumers to pay for it with its product power, rather than feelings.
