Among Chinese automobile brands, Hongqi has always carried a unique cultural heritage and high-end positioning. Now, with the rapid development of the new energy market, Hongqi has also launched its first plug-in hybrid model—the Hongqi H5 PHEV. This car not only continues the luxury DNA of the H5 series, but also, with the flexibility of "fuel and electric" and ultra-long range capability, becomes an ideal choice for family users and business professionals. If you are looking for a hybrid sedan that balances practicality and a sense of quality, you may want to follow Dage to take a deeper look at its performance.
The car is 4988mm long with a wheelbase of 2920mm. From the side, the overall body maintains a proud, upright posture, and the form outlined by the waistline has both the spirit of "riding the long wind and breaking the waves" and the momentum of "directly crossing the vast sea." The new car is equipped with all-new 18-inch wheels, whose design inspiration comes from the lines of Chinese-style corridor columns.
The rear adopts a combination of horizontal and vertical taillights that echo the front face, and the small trunk design balances the elegance and practicality of a three-box sedan. The front and rear bumpers echo each other, with roof styling derived from traditional Chinese architecture.
Interior | A balance of luxury and technology. The executive-level second row provides spacious comfort.
The Hongqi H5 PHEV adds a new "graphite black + moon white blue" interior, with a wrap-around cockpit centered on the driver and passengers. The seats support 8-way power adjustment and come with ventilation/heating and pneumatic massage functions. The central control screen is 12.6 inches, and the voice assistant supports full-scenario functions, such as accurately executing commands like "open the window 33%." Paired with APP remote vehicle control, such as air conditioning scheduling and seat heating, a comfortable environment can be created before getting in the car. In addition, the Dynaudio 12-speaker audio system and 40W wireless phone charging are also not absent.
The 2920mm wheelbase brings ample rear space, with headroom reaching 965mm. Combined with the panoramic sunroof, it offers an even more open and relaxed ride experience. The new car also uses low-odor environmentally friendly materials, with formaldehyde concentration meeting maternal and infant-grade standards, and with the air purification function, it safeguards respiratory health.
Power | Fuel and electric, comprehensive range exceeding 1600km, no range anxiety.
The Hongqi H5 PHEV is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid-specific engine. This engine is one of the 2024 "China Heart" top ten engines, with a maximum thermal efficiency of 45.21%. Under NEDC conditions, the minimum fuel consumption at low state of charge is 3.75L per 100 kilometers. Its HDU35 high-performance motor can reach a maximum speed of 20000rpm, with electric drive efficiency of up to 88%. With the combination of the two, the new car has excellent handling, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.2 seconds.
The new car offers four modes: pure electric, hybrid, fuel, and range extender. Users can switch freely according to road conditions, using either fuel or electricity, achieving "zero travel anxiety." As a plug-in hybrid model, the core advantage of the Hongqi H5 PHEV lies in the flexibility of "fuel and electric" and efficient energy consumption performance. Under CLTC conditions, the new car has a pure electric range of 170km and a comprehensive range of over 1600km. In the 200,000-yuan-class PHEV sedan market, this figure is very outstanding. For consumers, daily commuting can rely entirely on pure electric power, and long-distance travel has no range anxiety at all.
The Hongqi H5 PHEV supports 60kW fast charging, taking only 13.7 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%. Coming from a major northeastern manufacturer, the new car's charging stability in low-temperature environments is commendable; even at -35°C it can quickly replenish energy.
Safety | Continuing the major manufacturer's consistent standards, all-around protection for travel.
The Hongqi H5 PHEV continues the brand's consistent high standards in terms of safety. The body adopts a 9H4M cage body, with high-strength steel accounting for 68.1%. Key parts use 2GPa hot-formed steel, improving impact resistance by 30%.
In addition to using low-odor environmentally friendly materials, the interior is equipped with 9 airbags. The dual-stage force-limiting seatbelt can control seatbelt tension in stages, quickly tightening the seatbelt in the early stage of a collision to prevent the body from lunging forward. When the collision force increases, the seatbelt will moderately "release" tension, reducing pressure on the chest and reducing injury to the ribs and internal organs.
Extremely high standards are also adopted for battery safety, including its hexahedral fortress insulation protection technology, which is 24 times the national standard, and its water immersion protection technology, which is 240 times the national standard, remaining reliable in water wading or extreme environments. If an abnormal battery condition occurs, the cloud battery doctor issues an early warning 14 days in advance. In addition, Hongqi attaches great importance to battery radiation, achieving Bluetooth earphone level, 70% lower than the national standard limit.
In terms of driving assistance, the Hongqi H5 PHEV is equipped with an L2-level intelligent driving system, including full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic parking, AEB emergency braking, and more; the equipped 360° panoramic image + transparent chassis also make it easy to handle complex road conditions.
Consumers place great importance on after-sales service for new energy vehicles. As Hongqi's first plug-in hybrid sedan, the Hongqi H5 PHEV has comprehensive after-sales guarantees, including lifetime warranty for the three-electric system and lifetime warranty for the entire vehicle, 4 years/100,000 km free maintenance, zero-cost daily use maintenance, and in special circumstances, it also offers Hongqi lifetime free rescue and lifetime free pick-up and delivery services, saving worry and effort.
Dada commentary:
The highlights of the Hongqi H5 PHEV lie not only in its ultra-long range and efficient power, but also in its perfect integration of Chinese-style luxury design and intelligent technology. Whether it is the space and safety needed by family users, or the comfort and style valued by business professionals, this car can satisfy them one by one.
At present, the presale benefits are generous. Policies such as lifetime free warranty and high trade-in subsidies further reduce the cost of ownership. If you are interested in new energy models and also want to retain the flexibility of a fuel vehicle, you may want to personally visit a store for a test drive. I believe the real-world performance of the Hongqi H5 PHEV will give you more surprises.
