Medium size 5-seater three box car hongqi h5

For FAW Hongqi, the Hongqi H5 Electric Car can be considered a milestone model, and its launch has opened up Hongqi's subsequent development path. Last year, Hongqi upgraded this heavyweight model, not only by upgrading its fuel power, but also by adding a 1.5T hybrid model, enriching the power configuration of the Hongqi H5 and elevating its overall competitiveness to a higher level.

After a facelift, the 2023 Red Flag H5 comes with three powertrain systems. As an entry-level model, the 1.5T engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed wet dual clutch transmission. The competition for entry-level models has never been based on book parameters or power performance. Their main purpose is to lower the entry-level threshold for vehicles.

The market value of the new Hongqi H5 Electric Sedan Car equipped with 1.5T engine is 159800 and 169800 respectively, with a difference of only 10000 yuan. The main difference lies in the auxiliary control configuration and some software configuration of the vehicle. Of course, the materials of the seats are also different. The 159800 Zhilian Flag Yue Edition model uses fabric material, while the 169800 Zhilian Flag Yun Yun Yun Edition uses faux leather material, which has a slightly higher sense of quality.

If you want to experience handling performance, it naturally depends on the model equipped with a 2.0T engine. The maximum power of the three models equipped with 2.0T engine is 224 horsepower, and the transmission system is uniformly matched with an 8-speed manumatic. Compared to the closely priced Mondeo, the book parameters are 14 horsepower weaker than the other party.

However, the overall handling of the new Red Flag H5 was somewhat unexpected. I thought the power performance of this set would be relatively weak, but I didn't expect it to be very smooth. Moreover, the accelerator pedal has a certain degree of damping, and the starting performance is also very smooth, without any rushing feeling. It fits perfectly with the stable and powerful appearance of the Red Flag H5.

Thanks to the smoothness of the 8-speed manumatic, the vehicle performs steadily and smoothly even if it needs to stop and start frequently when following in urban areas. It's just that the brake pedal is too hard, and if you're not familiar with the vehicle, it's easy to step on it too much, making passengers inside the car feel very uncomfortable. If you are not familiar with friends, you may feel that your driving skills are not good.

The tuning orientation of the chassis is more comfortable, or it may be that Red Flag places too much emphasis on creating a comfortable riding atmosphere, resulting in a softer chassis. After significant bumps, the body shakes significantly, which can have a certain impact on the driving quality.

The new Hongqi H5 Electric Sedan Car also offers a hybrid version, which is independently developed by FAW Group and equipped with a 1.5T high-efficiency engine and electric motor. The system's transmission efficiency has been improved to 98.6%, further improving the vehicle's fuel economy. According to testing, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the hybrid version of the Red Flag H5 is 5.1L/100km.
