The official picture of the new Hongqi H5 was officially released, and the appearance continued the H9 design style, or with a 2.0T engine

Recently, Hongqi Automobile released the official picture of the new Hongqi H5. I believe everyone can see at a glance that the shape of the new Hongqi H5 adopts the design style of H9, which has greatly improved the appearance and changed the whole temperament. The new car will be officially unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, and it may also be officially launched this year. In terms of power, it is likely to provide a version with a 2.0T engine.

Judging from the official pictures, the whole shape of the new Hongqi H5 has undergone great changes, becoming similar to the Hongqi H9. Its front face adopts a large-size straight waterfall-type chrome-plated air intake grille, and the iconic logo of Hongqi is used in the middle. The narrow headlights on both sides adopt a split design, and the interior of the headlight group uses a dot matrix light source, which has a high degree of recognition after lighting. "Fanged" daytime running lights are used on both sides of the air intake grille, and the shape of the fog light area surrounding the two sides is also very sporty, making the overall look more sharp and domineering.

The Hongqi H5 is positioned as a medium-sized sedan. The body size of the new car is 5050 * 1915 * 1570mm and the wheelbase is 2920mm. It provides 6 paint colors of Hongqi Red, Quantum Silver Grey, Yaoye Brown, Alpine Yingbai, Charm Night Black Second Generation and Aurora Blue. The body adopts a sharp and smooth waist line design. The window line and side skirt are decorated with chrome-plated trims. In addition, red trims are also used for embellishment on the fenders, reflecting a good business atmosphere.

The biggest highlight of the tail is the shape of the taillight, which adopts a through-type design, and the interior also adds chrome-plated trim to penetrate, and the design of "arrow feathers" extends on both sides of the taillight, which is highly recognizable. The lower enclosed exhaust adopts a double-sided layout, creating a good sports atmosphere, but it always feels that the design of the taillight is too exaggerated and does not match the overall temperament.

The interior has not been officially announced for the time being, but there have been spy photos of the interior before, and the overall design layout is different from that of the H9. From the spy photos, its car is equipped with a floating full LCD instrument panel, a vertical central control large screen and a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel. With the electronic gear lever, the sense of technology has also improved a lot. The color of the interior is matched with dark gray and red, and chrome-plated trims and stitching processes are used in many places for decoration, creating a good sense of class and luxury.

The configuration and power information have not been officially announced yet, but there are also reports that the new Hongqi H5 will offer both 1.5T and 2.0T engine power versions. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 165kW and a maximum torque of 340N · m. In terms of transmission system, the 1.5T engine will match a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T engine will match an 8-speed automatic transmission. The specific parameter information can only be released after the official release.

Conclusion: The appearance of the new generation of Hongqi H5 has been greatly improved, and the technical feel of the interior is also very good. In terms of power, the 2.0T version will also be launched. The overall performance is more promising, but the most crucial thing is to see how the price will be adjusted.
