Hongqi is getting ready to launch its H5
premium saloon originally based on the Mazda 6 tech. The exterior of the
facelifted H5 stays the same except for a differently shaped hood fin –
apparently, Hongqi decided to work on the engine range this time around.
The old saloon invariably shipped with a
1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine under the hood, which not everyone
found to their liking. The new one offers an alternative: a 1.5-liter turbo
rated at 169 hp. In turn, the old 1.8-liter mill gets a 19-hp boost to 197 hp.
Nothing is being revealed about the cabin,
but things like a digital dashboard and an up-to-date infotainment system with
a large display are the most reasonable to expect.
