2 Answers
The engine number of the Hongqi H5 is located on the left side of the instrument panel, under the windshield, on the nameplate in the engine compartment, on the driver's side door pillar, and is also noted on the insurance policy. The Hongqi H5 is equipped with a 1.8T four-cylinder turbocharged engine independently developed by FAW Group, with a maximum power of 137KW, a peak torque of 250Nm, and a maximum horsepower of 169Ps. The interior layout of the Hongqi H5 features an independent floating central control screen, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, and an electronic handbrake. Externally, the inverted trapezoidal front grille is connected to the headlights and is embedded with vertical chrome trim strips. The dimensions are 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height.
I've been driving the Hongqi H5 for several years, and the engine number is absolutely crucial for the car—it's like the engine's ID card, used for registration, insurance, or selling the vehicle. Its location is typically in the engine bay. After opening the hood, look toward the middle or right side of the engine block—the number is either engraved on the metal cylinder block or attached on a small plate. In my car, it's near the front of the radiator, a bit hidden but easy to spot with careful searching. I recommend bringing a flashlight when looking for it the first time, as poor lighting can make it easy to miss. For maintenance, regularly cleaning the engine bay prevents the number from being obscured by oil or dust, ensuring you won’t panic when you need it. Also, if the vehicle has suffered impacts or aging affects the number's legibility, address it promptly to avoid hassles. In short, knowing its location and keeping it clean makes life much easier.
