Which consumes more fuel, the Hongqi H5 or the Accord?
2 Answers
Hongqi H5 consumes more fuel. The Hongqi H5 has a fuel consumption of approximately 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers, while the Accord's fuel consumption ranges from about 5.3 to 7.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Taking the 2020 Hongqi H5 as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of 4945mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1470mm in height, a wheelbase of 2875mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. As for the 2021 Honda Accord, it also belongs to the mid-size car category, with body dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, a wheelbase of 2830mm, a fuel tank capacity of 48.5 liters, and a curb weight of 1619kg.
I drove the Hongqi H5 1.8T version, and the fuel consumption in the city is quite high, averaging around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers. In heavy traffic, it can spike to over 10 liters, feeling like a gas-guzzler. In comparison, when I test-drove the Honda Accord Hybrid, its dual-motor system brought the urban commuting fuel consumption down to about 4 liters, and even on the highway, it's just over 5 liters. The hybrid Accord automatically switches to electric mode in traffic jams, almost consuming no fuel at idle, while the H5's engine frequently intervenes, making the fuel gauge look alarming. The engine technology differs significantly: the Hongqi engine emphasizes horsepower output, while the Accord optimizes energy recovery. Driving the H5 costs several hundred yuan more in fuel each month, making long-distance urban commuting really not cost-effective. If you're after savings, the Accord Hybrid clearly leads, though the gap narrows on the highway. I suggest checking real-world feedback from car owner groups or visiting a 4S shop with professional instruments for testing—don’t just rely on spec sheets.
