What is the MIIT fuel consumption of the Hongqi H5?

The Hongqi H5 currently has 6 models on sale. Among them, the Hongqi H5-2022 1.8T Automatic Zhilian Qichang and Qiling versions, as well as the facelifted 1.8T Automatic Zhilian Qiyun and Qixiang versions (4 models in total) equipped with a 197 horsepower engine, have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.4L per 100km. The Hongqi H5-2022 1.5T-DCT Qiyue and Qiyun versions (2 models) equipped with a 169 horsepower engine have an NEDC fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100km. The fuel tank capacity is the same across different Hongqi H5 models. The driving range on a full tank is as follows: For models with the 197 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, giving a driving range of 55/6.4*100=859km on a full tank. For models with the 169 horsepower engine, the fuel tank capacity is 55L, giving a driving range of 55/6.2*100=887km on a full tank. Vehicle fuel consumption is directly influenced by five major factors: driving habits, the vehicle itself, road conditions, natural wind, and ambient temperature. Specific factors that increase fuel consumption include: Driving habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before traffic lights can increase fuel consumption. The vehicle itself: Vehicles with larger engine displacements generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacements because larger displacements typically mean greater power output, requiring more gasoline for combustion. Heavier vehicles also tend to have higher fuel consumption due to the greater driving torque needed. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous terrain increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases vehicle resistance and fuel consumption. Low ambient temperatures: When the engine block is cold during startup, injected gasoline is less likely to atomize, requiring more fuel for combustion and thus increasing consumption. Additionally, the engine control unit may command higher idle speeds to warm up the engine in cold weather, further increasing fuel consumption.
I've owned the Hongqi H5 for two years now, mainly using it for commuting to and from work, so it's natural to be concerned about fuel consumption. The official combined fuel consumption of the Hongqi H5 ranges between 6.2 to 7.1 liters per 100 kilometers, depending on your model version. The 1.5T version is lower at around 6.2, while the 1.8T version is higher at about 7.1. This is what I found on the specification sheet when I bought the car. In actual driving, highway driving is close to these figures, but city driving in traffic can be 1-2 liters higher, so you can't fully rely on these numbers. I recommend taking a photo of the energy efficiency label on the car window with your phone when choosing a car, or checking the detailed data on the Hongqi official website—nowadays, apps make this very convenient. Lower fuel consumption can save you some money on gas, and in the long run, it can free up a few hundred yuan more in your monthly budget for car maintenance.
