2 Answers
2022 Hongqi HS5 and the previous model differences are as follows: In terms of appearance: The 2022 Hongqi HS5 has overall dimensions of 4760X1907X1700, with a wheelbase of 2870mm, which remains consistent with the previous model without any changes. The 2022 Hongqi HS5 does not have significant changes in appearance, with adjustments mainly focused on the grille and wheel design. The grille features a combination of blackened matrix and chrome decorative strips, along with a centrally illuminated Hongqi logo, enhancing the ceremonial feel when starting the vehicle. In terms of interior: The interior of the 2022 Hongqi HS5 remains largely the same as the previous model, with the addition of a pomegranate red interior color option. The vehicle's internet system has been upgraded to version 3.0, and the design of the one-button start and driving mode switch has been optimized. Overall, this interior design is well-suited to the preferences of today's younger consumers. In terms of power: The 2022 Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine across all variants, delivering a maximum power of 165KW. It comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and four-wheel drive is available as an option for higher-end models.
I've driven the previous Hongqi HS5, and the 2022 model has seen significant improvements. The seat materials are softer with thicker padding, making long-distance driving less tiring for the legs, unlike the older model which was relatively firm. The powertrain has been optimized, delivering smoother acceleration without the occasional jerking felt in the older version. The center console has been upgraded to a 12-inch large screen, operating smoothly with more precise navigation positioning, whereas the older model had only an 8-inch screen with noticeable lag. Externally, the front grille is larger, the LED light clusters are sharper, and the rear lines are more sporty, compared to the older model's plain design. Fuel consumption has dropped by about 5%, averaging 9.5 liters in the city. Noise insulation has improved, with much less wind noise at high speeds. Overall comfort has increased, though the price has gone up slightly, but personally, I think it's worth the difference. These changes make daily driving much more enjoyable.
