4 Answers
You can activate the voice assistant by saying "Hello Hongqi" or setting a custom nickname. Below are the specifications of the Hongqi H5: 1. Exterior: The Hongqi H5 features an inverted trapezoidal grille with vertical chrome trim strips, similar to the new H7 model. The angled corners at the upper left and right perfectly integrate with the full LED headlight assembly, complemented by bold lines outlining the grille, exuding youthful vitality. Dimensions: 4935/1840/1470mm (L/W/H) with a 2870mm wheelbase. 2. Interior: Standard equipment includes a power sunroof, 8-speaker audio system, automatic climate control with dual-zone function, PM2.5 filtration, 7-inch digital instrument cluster, 10-inch central touchscreen, 4 airbags, and tire pressure monitoring. Additionally, it pioneers the BOSCH 9.3-generation ESP system. 3. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged inline-4 cylinder engine featuring auto start-stop, delivering 137kW (186PS) maximum power and 250N·m peak torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I used to drive a Hongqi H9, where saying 'Hi, Hongqi' to wake up the voice assistant felt as natural as calling a friend's name. Now, with my new car, I still use the same phrase to activate the smart assistant. In the morning rush, saying 'Hi Hongqi, navigate to the office' instantly brings up the route; when bored in traffic, commanding 'Play some rock music' gets the sound system pumping right away. The voice interaction responds super fast and even understands dialects—last time, my relatives from Shandong used it, and it comprehended them perfectly. I once tried changing the wake-up word but didn't succeed; the manual states it's set by default. Still, getting used to it, I find it much safer than fumbling for buttons while driving.
During the test drive of the new Hongqi E-HS9, the salesperson taught me that simply saying 'Hello Hongqi' clearly can control all vehicle functions. This wake-up phrase is ingeniously designed, maintaining brand recognition while being catchy. Once activated, it can not only open the sunroof and adjust the air conditioning but also inquire about real-time traffic conditions and check fuel prices. It can even remember life instructions like 'Remind me to take medicine in three hours.' However, it's important not to speak too quickly, as it sometimes responds a bit slowly when the speech rate is too fast—maintaining a normal speaking rhythm is best. Additionally, if the interior noise is high, it's recommended to close the windows before activating it for more accurate recognition.
My cousin's newly purchased Hongqi HS5 has an incredibly cool voice function, with the fixed wake-up phrase 'Hello Hongqi'. Watching his demonstration, I realized how powerful voice control has become: saying 'Turn on the seat heating' while driving immediately warms your back, and shouting 'Lower the air conditioning temperature' when sleepy instantly refreshes you. Once, on his wife's birthday, he directly commanded 'Call my wife' on the road, and the hands-free call automatically connected. However, beginners should be reminded not to change the wake-up phrase. Last time, a friend mistakenly altered it, causing the system to lag. It was only after a reset at the 4S shop that the default setting of 'Hello Hongqi' was restored.
