2 Answers
The Hongqi H5 has received a 5-star crash test rating, with an overall reasonable layout. Below are the specific details about the Hongqi H5: 1. Body Dimensions: The Hongqi H5 is a mid-size sedan under the Hongqi brand. The car measures 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2875mm. 2. Powertrain Configuration: The car is equipped with two types of engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine of the Hongqi H5 delivers 169 horsepower and a maximum torque of 258 Nm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.8-liter turbocharged engine produces 197 horsepower and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. This engine also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). 3. Suspension Configuration: The Hongqi H5 uses a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear.
I recently noticed that the crash test results of the Hongqi H5 are quite reassuring. It achieved a five-star safety rating in the China New Car Assessment Programme (C-NCAP) test, with a total score of 58.9 points (out of 62). It scored a full 20 points in the side impact test and performed excellently in the frontal impact test as well. The car's safety features are impressive, with six airbags as standard, over 60% high-strength steel in the body, and hot-formed steel used in key areas. According to the official video footage, the A-pillar showed no deformation after the collision, and the doors could still be opened normally, making rescue operations convenient. I recommend paying special attention to versions equipped with AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) when choosing a car—it can automatically brake when encountering suddenly appearing electric vehicles in urban driving, doubling the sense of safety.
