I believe everyone has heard a saying, that is, "Whoever gets the B-class sedan wins the world." Therefore, the domestic B-class sedan market has always been competed by major car companies, and it is still a very hot market. Therefore, brands with a little bit of strength will deploy many models. For example, Toyota has Camry, Asia Dragon, Volkswagen has Magotan, Passat, Honda Accord, Yingshi Pai and so on. As for our domestic independent brands, we have indeed explored many models in the B-class car market. Models such as Trumpchi GA8, Geely Borui and other models are good representatives. However, even if these models are positioned at low prices, , the configuration is excellent, but there are very few people paying for it, so it is difficult to carry the banner of an independent brand. Until the birth of Hongqi H5, this car injected fresh blood into domestic luxury cars, and also allowed the domestic B-class car to finally have a place in the market. When the sales volume is good in a single month, it can reach more than 10,000 units, which is already considered very good. Not bad. Now, the new Hongqi H5 is coming. Its price has increased by more than 20,000, with a starting price of 170,000. It is officially comparable to , Accord, and Camry.
Speaking of Hongqi H5, I admire it very much. Its success is actually related to many factors. First of all, the price of the old model is between 145,800 and 190,800. This price range can also reach some good joint venture brands. It's a B-class car. But the brand Hongqi is very important, because Hongqi is a luxury brand among our domestic independent brands. Many people think that buying a luxury car at this price is more respectable, which is better than Trumpchi and Geely These brands have inherent advantages. But then again, the Hongqi H5 car did not have very good sales when it was first launched, because many people think that the Hongqi H5 uses the chassis of the Atez and is equipped with the Aisin 6AT gearbox . People thought at that time, if you have this kind of money, why not buy an Atez instead of choosing a Hongqi H5? Therefore, the early Hongqi H5 was relatively controversial, but later the Hongqi H5 stood out with its own strength, which really surprised all of us.
And now, the brand new Hongqi H5 is here (officially launched on July 26 of this month). The new Hongqi H5 has indeed made great changes in appearance and interior, but it also welcomes changes in positioning and price. The price has increased. It originally started at more than 140,000 yuan, but now the pre-sale price starts at 170,000 yuan, which is a full increase of more than 20,000 yuan. To be honest, when a car is upgraded and upgraded, the price increase is acceptable, but the starting price suddenly increased by more than 20,000, which is indeed a bit high. The most important thing is that the main changes to this car are the appearance and interior. As for power, only the high-end version has a gasoline-electric hybrid version, and the mid-end version has been upgraded from the original .8T to the current 2.0T, so If you increase the price of mid-to-high-end models, it is relatively easy for us to accept it. However, the lowest-end model is still a 1.5T version with a 7-speed dual-clutch, but the price has increased by more than 20,000, which really makes people feel A little high. But then again, this is only the pre-sale price. The specific price has not been announced yet. It is possible that when it is officially launched, the positioning price will be lower than the pre-sale price.
Now that we are talking about power, let’s talk about the power composition of Hongqi H5 in detail. The entry-level model of this car is still 1.5T. The engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and is matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. This The power cannot be considered excellent, just an adequate level. Secondly, this car is also equipped with a 2.0T engine. This engine has a maximum power of 224 horsepower and is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual gearbox. This set of power has been seen on many Hongqi models. , this time used on Hongqi H5 can indeed be regarded as an upgrade. Finally, in order to improve fuel economy, this car has also added a gasoline-electric hybrid version. The gasoline-electric hybrid version is also equipped with a 1.5T engine but has dual motors. The engine has a maximum power of 169 horsepower and is matched with an E-CVT. gearbox, with such a set of power, the fuel consumption of this car is only 5.1L per 100 kilometers. To be honest, the new Hongqi H5 does have certain upgrades. First of all, the power aspect is very obvious.
As for the appearance and interior, this car is more intuitive. The front face of this car is very similar to Hongqi H9. This front face is liked by many people and has a strong aura. Many people say it looks like rolls . Its front face uses a straight waterfall-style air intake grille, and the daytime running lights have a downward penetrating effect. Although it is not as long as the Hongqi H9 light strip, it is still very beautiful when lit. On the side of the car body, the car body has a strong sense of popularity and gives people a very tight feeling, especially the concave door panel area. This Hongqi H5 is really well done. The design comes to the rear. The design of this classic through-type taillight is really beautiful, and paired with the dual exhaust, it looks very fashionable. As for the body size, the length, width and height of the new model are 4988/1875/1470mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2920mm.
Walking into the car, this car has also been greatly upgraded in terms of interior design. First of all, it is the vertical display screen. The display screen is large in size and has a strong sense of technology. Secondly, it also has a full LCD instrument. , and finally equipped with an electronic gear lever, the mainstream elements have indeed been greatly upgraded, so overall, the appearance and interior of this car have changed greatly.
Generally speaking, there are indeed many models in the current B-class car market, such as Passat, Accord, Camry, etc., all of which are excellent. However, our domestic independent brands have no models to compete with them. And this time the brand new Hongqi H5 is here. On the basis of its already good audience, it has thoroughly upgraded its appearance and interior, and it understands Chinese consumers very well. Not only that, in terms of power, it has also added a 2.0T version and a hybrid version. Finally, it is equipped with an 8AT gearbox, which is considered the ceiling in this level. So this time the new Hongqi H5 is definitely capable of competing head-on with the Accord, Camry and other models, and I think this car is good at everything. Even the lowest model is also a 1.5T equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch. The new model The model is more than 20,000 yuan more expensive, which is a bit high. Do you think this is the case? Now let us look forward to the launch of this car. Maybe the official price will be lower after the launch, in which case this car will be really delicious.
