Why is the reputation of Hongqi HS5 not good?
2 Answers
The poor reputation of Hongqi HS5 may be due to its high fuel consumption. In fact, Hongqi HS5 is a great domestic luxury SUV. It is a very meticulous product with a strong sense of luxury, high-end texture, and design. The car's power and comfort are also good. Additional information: In terms of power, Hongqi HS5 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 224Ps and a maximum torque of 340N.m. It is matched with an Aisin 6-speed automatic manual transmission, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in just 8.2 seconds. The driving power in the city is always on standby, with smooth gear shifting and no sense of stagnation. It starts quickly and is very comfortable to drive.
I've been driving the Hongqi HS5 for almost a year now, and I've found that its poor reputation is not unfounded. First, let's talk about quality issues. There are quite a few minor problems, such as the windows getting stuck when rolling up or down, and the air conditioning's airflow being inconsistent. Every time I take it for repairs, it takes half a day. The repair costs are shockingly expensive—even a simple sensor replacement can cost over a thousand yuan. Plus, the fuel consumption is high; in the city, it easily exceeds 12 liters per 100 kilometers. My friends joke that this car consumes fuel faster than drinking it. The brand promotes it as a high-end model, but the actual experience can't even compare to something like a Haval H6. My advice is, if you're considering buying a domestic SUV, check the owner forums first—don't just rely on advertisements. Also, make sure to maintain it regularly; otherwise, problems will pile up and affect driving safety.
